A semicircular loop of radius R is rotated about its straight edge which divides the space into two regions one having a uniform magnetic field B and the other having no field. If initially the plane of loop is perpendicular to \[\vec{B}\] (as shown), and if current flowing from O to A be taken as positive, the correct plot of induced current v/s time for one time period is |
A)
B)
C)
D)
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Emf induced when a loop rotates in a magnetic field is \[(e=Ns\,\,B\,\,\omega \,\,\sin \,\,\omega t),\] which is a sinusoidal function. Therefore, induced current will also be sinusoidal as shown: |
The curve will be negative, because initially the flux decreases from t=0 to T/4 and then increases from to \[t=\frac{3T}{4}\] to \[\frac{T}{4}.\] |
But from \[t=\frac{T}{4}\] to \[\frac{3T}{4},\] there will be no induced current as there is no field on the right side. Hence, the current produced will be as shown: |
Hence [D]. |
