$A$ magnetic field in a certain region is given by $\vec B = B_0 \cos(\omega t) \hat k$. $A$ coil of radius $a$ with resistance $R$ is placed in the $xy$-plane with its centre at the origin in the magnetic field (see figure). Find the magnitude and the direction of the current at $(a, 0, 0)$ at $t = \frac{\pi}{2\omega}$,$t = \frac{\pi}{\omega}$,and $t = \frac{3\pi}{2\omega}$.

(N/A) The magnetic flux linked with the coil is given by $\phi = \vec B \cdot \vec A = B A \cos(0^\circ) = B A$.
Substituting $B = B_0 \cos(\omega t)$ and $A = \pi a^2$,we get $\phi = B_0 \pi a^2 \cos(\omega t)$.
The induced electromotive force (emf) is $\varepsilon = -\frac{d\phi}{dt} = -\frac{d}{dt} (B_0 \pi a^2 \cos(\omega t)) = B_0 \pi a^2 \omega \sin(\omega t)$.
The induced current is $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{B_0 \pi a^2 \omega}{R} \sin(\omega t)$.
$1$. At $t = \frac{\pi}{2\omega}$:
$I = \frac{B_0 \pi a^2 \omega}{R} \sin(\omega \cdot \frac{\pi}{2\omega}) = \frac{B_0 \pi a^2 \omega}{R}$.
Since the magnetic flux is decreasing,by Lenz's law,the induced current flows in the anticlockwise direction. At $(a, 0, 0)$,the current is along $+\hat j$.
$2$. At $t = \frac{\pi}{\omega}$:
$I = \frac{B_0 \pi a^2 \omega}{R} \sin(\omega \cdot \frac{\pi}{\omega}) = 0$.
$3$. At $t = \frac{3\pi}{2\omega}$:
$I = \frac{B_0 \pi a^2 \omega}{R} \sin(\omega \cdot \frac{3\pi}{2\omega}) = -\frac{B_0 \pi a^2 \omega}{R}$.
The negative sign indicates the current flows in the clockwise direction. At $(a, 0, 0)$,the current is along $-\hat j$.

Is relative motion an absolute condition for inducing $emf$?

Two concentric circular coils,$C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$,are placed in the $XY$ plane. $C_{1}$ has $500$ turns and a radius of $1\; cm$. $C_{2}$ has $200$ turns and a radius of $20\; cm$. $C_{2}$ carries a time-dependent current $I(t) = (5t^{2} - 2t + 3)\; A$,where $t$ is in $s$.

At time $t=0$, a magnetic field of $1000 \; \text{Gauss}$ is passing perpendicularly through the area defined by the closed loop shown in the figure. If the magnetic field reduces linearly to $500 \; \text{Gauss}$ in the next $5 \; \text{s}$, then the induced $EMF$ in the loop is ........ $\mu \text{V}$.

$A$ point charge $Q$ is moving in a circular orbit of radius $R$ in the $x$-$y$ plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. This can be considered as equivalent to a loop carrying a steady current $I = \frac{Q\omega}{2\pi}$. $A$ uniform magnetic field along the positive $z$-axis is now switched on,which increases at a constant rate from $0$ to $B$ in one second. Assume that the radius of the orbit remains constant. The application of the magnetic field induces an emf in the orbit. The induced emf is defined as the work done by an induced electric field in moving a unit positive charge around a closed loop. It is known that,for an orbiting charge,the magnetic dipole moment is proportional to the angular momentum with a proportionality constant $\gamma$.
