A 1.0 m long metallic rod is rotated with an angular frequency of 400 rad s-1 about an axis normal to the rod passing through its one end. The other end of the rod is in contact with a circular metallic ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T parallel to the axis exists everywhere. Calculate the emf developed between the centre and the ring.
Length of the rod, I = 1 m
Angular frequency, \(\omega\) = 400 rad/s
Magnetic field strength, B = 0.5 T
One end of the rod has zero linear velocity, while the other end has a linear velocity of l\(\omega\).
Average linear velocity of the rod, \(v\) = \(\frac{l\omega+0}{2}\)= \(\frac{l\omega}{2}\)
Emf developed between the centre and the ring,
e = Blv=\(Bl\bigg(\frac{l\omega}{2}\bigg)\) = \(\frac{Bl^2\omega}{2}\)
= \(\frac{0.5\times(1)^2\times400}{2}\) =100 V
Hence, the emf developed between the centre and the ring is 100 V.
Predict the direction of induced current in the situations described by the following Figs. 6.18(a) to (f ).
A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm2 placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to 4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?
A rectangular wire loop of sides 8 cm and 2 cm with a small cut is moving out of a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T directed normal to the loop. What is the emf developed across the cut if the velocity of the loop is 1 cm s-1 in a direction normal to the (a) longer side, (b) shorter side of the loop? For how long does the induced voltage last in each case?
A horizontal straight wire 10 m long extending from east to west is falling with a speed of 5.0 m s-1, at right angles to the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field, 0.30 \(\times\)10-4 Wb m-2 .
There are two laws, given by Faraday which explain the phenomena of electromagnetic induction:
Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an emf is induced. If the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced, known as the induced current.
The Emf induced inside a coil is equal to the rate of change of associated magnetic flux.
This law can be mathematically written as:
∈\(-N {\triangle \phi \over \triangle t}\)
