Question

A circular coil of radius 5.0 cm and resistance 0.20 Ω is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the field changes with time according to B = 0.50e-20t T. What is the magnitude of the current induced in the coil at the time

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Assume number of turn is

N= 1

Radius of coil is.

r = 5cm = 0.05m

Then, Area of the surface is given as

A = πr² = π × 0.05²

A = 7.85 × 10^-3 m²

Resistance of

R = 0.20 Ω

The magnetic field is a function of time

B = 0.50exp(-20t) T

Magnitude of induce current at

t = 2s

We need to find the induced emf

This induced voltage, ε can be quantified by:

ε = −NdΦ/dt

Φ = BAcosθ, but θ = 90°, they are perpendicular

So, Φ = BA

ε = −NdΦ/dt = −N d(BA) / dt

A is a constant

ε = −NA dB/dt

Then, B = 0.50exp(-20t)

So, dB/dt = 0.5 × -20 exp(-20t)

dB/dt = -10exp(-20t)

So,

ε = −NA dB/dt

ε = −NA × -10exp(-20t)

ε = 10 × NA exp(-20t)

Now from ohms law, ε = iR

So, I = ε / R

I = 10 × NA exp(-20t) / R

Substituting the values given

I = 10×1× 7.85 ×10^-3×exp(-20×2)/0.2

I = 1.67 × 10^-18 A
