Question

A 179 ‑turn circular coil of radius 3.95 cm and negligible resistance is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The coil is connected to a 10.1 Ω resistor to create a closed circuit. During a time interval of 0.163 s, the magnetic field strength decreases uniformly from 0.573 T to zero. Find the energy, in millijoules, that is dissipated in the resistor during this time interval.

Answer 1

The energy, that is dissipated in the resistor during this time interval is 153.6 mJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 179

radius of the circular coil, r = 3.95 cm = 0.0395 m

resistance, R = 10.1 Ω

time, t = 0.163 s

magnetic field strength, B = 0.573 T

Induced emf is given as;

`emf= N(d \phi)/(dt)`

where;

ΔФ is change in magnetic flux

ΔФ = BA = B x πr²

ΔФ = 0.573 x π(0.0395)² = 0.002809 T.m²

`emf = N(d \phi)/(dt) = 179((0.002809)/(0.163) ) = 3.0848 \ V`

According to ohm's law;

V = IR

I = V / R

I = 3.0848 / 10.1

I = 0.3054 A

Energy = I²Rt

Energy = (0.3054)² x 10.1 x 0.163

Energy = 0.1536 J

Energy = 153.6 mJ

Therefore, the energy, that is dissipated in the resistor during this time interval is 153.6 mJ
