Question

A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a circular loop of diameter 13 cm formed from wire of diameter 2.6 mm and resistivity of 2.18 × 10-8Ω·m. At what rate must the magnitude of the magnetic field change to induce a 11 A current in the loop?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic field is $3.466\times 10^3T/sec$        

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the circular loop is 13 cm = 0.13 m

So radius of the circular loop $r=\frac{0.13}{2}=0.065m$

Length of the circular loop $L=2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 0.065=0.4082m$

Wire is made up of diameter of 2.6 mm

So radius $r=\frac{2.6}{2}=1.3mm=0.0013m$

Cross sectional area of wire $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times0.0013^2=5.30\times 10^{-6}m^2$

Resistivity of wire $\rho =2.18\times 10^{-8}m$

Resistance of wire $R=\frac{\rho L}{A}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-8}\times 0.4082}{5.30\times 10^{-6}}=1.67\times 10^{-3}ohm$

Current is given i = 11 A

So emf  $e=11\times 1.67\times 10^{-3}=0.0183volt$

Emf induced in the coil is $e=-\frac{d\Phi }{dt}=-A\frac{dB}{dt}$

$0.0183=5.30\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{dB}{dt}$

$\frac{dB}{dt}=3.466\times 10^3=T/sec$
