Suppose a 50-turn coil lies in the plane of the page in a uniform magnetic field that is directed into the page. The coil originally has an area of \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.250\;}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}\). It is stretched to have no area in \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.100\;s}}\). What is the direction and magnitude of the induced emf if the uniform magnetic field has a strength \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.50\;T}}\)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The direction of the current is clockwise, and the value of EMF is \({\rm{187}}{\rm{.5\;V}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The magnetic field strength is, \(B = 1.50\;T\)

The area of the coil is, \(A = 0.250\;{m^2}\)

Total turns in the coil, N = 50

The time duration is, \(\Delta t = 0.100\;s\)

02

Definition of Electromotive force ( EMF)

When no current flows, the electromotive force (EMF) is equal to the terminal potential difference. Although both EMF and terminal potential difference (V) are measured in volts, they are not the same. The quantity of energy (E) provided by the battery to each coulomb of charge (Q) flowing through is referred to as the EMF (\({\rm{\varepsilon }}\)).

03

Calculate the value of EMF

The induced electromotive force for a coil having N turns in the coil and a change in flux \(\Delta \Phi \)in time \(\Delta t\) will be expressed as,

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\rm{\varepsilon }} &= - {\rm{N}}\frac{{{\rm{\Delta \Phi }}}}{{{\rm{\Delta t}}}}\\ &= - {\rm{N}}\frac{{{\rm{\Delta (BS)}}}}{{{\rm{\Delta t}}}}\end{aligned}\)……………..(1)

This we can discover by dialing the particular time t, as well as the fact that,

\({\rm{\Delta (BS)}} = {\rm{B\Delta S}} = {\rm{B}}\left( {{{\rm{S}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{S}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right) = {\rm{B}}\left( {{\rm{0 - }}{{\rm{S}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right) = {\rm{BS}}\)

Substitute the above values in equation (1) will give,

\(\varepsilon = {\rm{N}}\frac{{{\rm{BS}}}}{{\rm{t}}}\)……………….(2)

Now substitute the given values in the equation (2), we will get,

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\rm{\varepsilon }} &= {\rm{50 \times }}\frac{{\left( {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.250}}\;{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ \times }}\left( {{\rm{1}}{\rm{.50}}\;{\rm{T}}} \right)}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.100}}\;{\rm{s}}}}\\ &= {\rm{187}}{\rm{.5\;V}}\end{aligned}\)

The flux is decreasing as the field is directed into the page, implying that the induced current will have its field pointing into the page. Using the right-hand rule, we can determine that the current is flowing clockwise.

Therefore, the direction of the current is clockwise, and the value of EMF is \({\rm{187}}{\rm{.5\;V}}\)
