    A rectangular coil ASCD which is rotated at a constant angular velocity about an horizontal as shown in the figure. The axis of rotation of the coil as well as the magnetic field B are horizontal. Maximum current will flow in the circuit when the plane of the coil is:

    A)  inclined at \[30{}^\circ \] to the magnetic field

    B)  perpendicular to the magnetic field

    C)  inclined at \[45{}^\circ \] to the magnetic field

    D)  parallel to the magnetic field

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As the coil is rotated, angle \[\theta \] (angle which normal to the coil makes with \[\overrightarrow{B}\] at any instant t) changes, therefore magnetic flux  \[\phi \] linked with the coil changes and hence an emf is induced in the coil. At this instant t, if e is the emf induced in the coil, then \[e=-\frac{d\phi }{dt}=-\frac{d}{dt}(NAB\,\,cos\,\omega t)\] where N is number of turns in the coil. or \[e=-NAB\frac{d}{dt}\,\,(\cos \,\,\omega t)\] \[=-NAB(-\sin \,\omega t)\omega \] or \[e=NAB\,\omega \,\sin \,\omega t\] ?..(i)      The induced emf will be maximum When  \[sin\text{ }\omega \text{t}=maximum=1\] \[\therefore \] \[{{e}_{\max }}={{e}_{0}}=NAB\,\omega \times 1\] or \[e={{e}_{0}}\,\sin \,\omega t\] Therefore, e would be maximum, hence current is maximum (as \[{{i}_{0}}={{e}_{0}}/R\]), when \[\theta ={{90}^{o}},\] i.e., normal to plane of coil is perpendicular to the field or plane of coif-is parallel to magnetic field.
