    An infinitesimally small bar magnet of dipole moment \[\vec{M}\] is pointing and moving with the speed v in the \[\hat{x}\]- direction. A small closed circular conducting loop of radius a and negligible self- inductance lies in the y-z plane with its center at x = 0, and its axis coinciding with the x-axis. Find the force opposing the motion of the magnet, if the resistance of the loop is R. Assume that the distance x of the magnet from the center of the loop is much greater than a.

    A) \[\frac{21}{4}\frac{\mu _{0}^{2}{{M}^{2}}{{a}^{4}}v}{R{{x}^{8}}}\]     

    B) \[\frac{16}{3}\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{M}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}}{R{{x}^{3}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{23}\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}Ma{{v}^{2}}}{R{{x}^{3}}}\]          

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{2\pi }\frac{M}{{{x}^{3}}}\] \[\therefore \]    Flux passing through the coil \[=B{{a}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]   The induced emf in the coil    \[e=\frac{-d\phi }{dt}=-\frac{d}{dt}\left[ \frac{{{\mu }_{0}}M{{a}^{2}}}{2}\times \frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right]\] \[=\frac{3{{\mu }_{0}}M{{a}^{2}}}{2{{x}^{4}}}\frac{dx}{dt}\left[ \because \,\,v=\frac{dx}{dt} \right]=\frac{3{{\mu }_{0}}M{{a}^{2}}}{2{{x}^{4}}}\times v\] \[\therefore \]   Current in the coil\[=I=\frac{e}{R}=\frac{3{{\mu }_{0}}M{{a}^{2}}v}{2{{x}^{4}}R}\] The magnetic moment of the loop \[M'=I\times A=\frac{3{{\mu }_{0}}M{{a}^{2}}v}{2{{x}^{4}}\,R}\times (\pi {{a}^{2}})\] Now the potential energy of the loop placed in the magnetic field is \[U=-M'B\,\cos {{180}^{o}}=\frac{3{{\mu }_{0}}M{{a}^{2}}v\times \pi {{a}^{2}}}{2{{x}^{4}}R}\times \frac{{{\mu }_{0}}M}{2\pi {{x}^{3}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,U=\frac{3\mu _{0}^{2}{{M}^{2}}{{a}^{4}}v}{4R{{x}^{7}}}\] Now, \[\left| {\vec{F}} \right|=-\frac{dU}{dx}\]    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,F=\frac{21}{4}\frac{\mu _{0}^{2}{{M}^{2}}{{a}^{4}}v}{R{{x}^{8}}}\] Since by Newton's third law, action and reaction are equal. Therefore, the above calculated force is acting on the magnet. The direction of the force is in \[-\hat{i}\] direction by Lenz?s law.
