MediumMCQ
$A$ $20 \ m$ long uniform copper wire held horizontally is allowed to fall under gravity $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$ through a uniform horizontal magnetic field of $0.5 \ Gauss$ perpendicular to the length of the wire. The induced $EMF$ across the wire after it travels a vertical distance of $200 \ m$ is . . . . . . $mV$.
A
$0.2 \sqrt{10}$
B
$20 \sqrt{10}$
C
$2 \sqrt{10}$
D
$200 \sqrt{10}$

Solution

(B) The induced $EMF$ $(\varepsilon)$ in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by $\varepsilon = Bv\ell$.
First, calculate the velocity $(v)$ of the wire after falling a distance $(h = 200 \ m)$ under gravity using the equation $v^2 = u^2 + 2gh$. Since the initial velocity $(u = 0)$, $v = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 200} = \sqrt{4000} = 20\sqrt{10} \ m/s$.
The magnetic field $(B)$ is $0.5 \ Gauss = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \ T$.
The length of the wire $(\ell)$ is $20 \ m$.
Substituting these values into the $EMF$ formula: $\varepsilon = (0.5 \times 10^{-4} \ T) \times (20\sqrt{10} \ m/s) \times (20 \ m)$.
$\varepsilon = 20\sqrt{10} \times 10^{-4} \times 10 = 20\sqrt{10} \times 10^{-3} \ V$.
Since $1 \ V = 1000 \ mV$, the induced $EMF$ is $20\sqrt{10} \ mV$.

$XPQY$ is a vertical smooth long loop having a total resistance $R$, where $PX$ is parallel to $QY$ and the separation between them is $l$. $A$ constant magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of the loop exists in the entire space. $A$ rod $CD$ of length $L$ $(L > l)$ and mass $m$ is made to slide down from rest under gravity as shown in the figure. The terminal speed acquired by the rod is . . . . . . $m/s$. ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity)
Question diagram
A
$ \frac{2mgR}{B^{2}l^{2}} $
B
$ \frac{8mgR}{B^{2}l^{2}} $
C
$ \frac{2mgR}{B^{2}L^{2}} $
D
$ \frac{mgR}{B^{2}l^{2}} $

Solution

(D) When the rod moves with a terminal velocity $v$, the induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ in the rod is $e = Bvl$.
Since the rod is part of a closed circuit with resistance $R$, the induced current is $i = \frac{e}{R} = \frac{Bvl}{R}$.
The magnetic force acting on the rod is $F_m = ilB = (\frac{Bvl}{R})lB = \frac{B^{2}l^{2}v}{R}$, which acts upwards.
At terminal velocity, the gravitational force $mg$ is balanced by the magnetic force $F_m$.
Therefore, $mg = F_m = \frac{B^{2}l^{2}v}{R}$.
Solving for $v$, we get $v = \frac{mgR}{B^{2}l^{2}}$.

$A$ $1 \ m$ long metal rod $AB$ completes the circuit as shown in the figure. The area of the circuit is perpendicular to the magnetic field of $0.10 \ T$. If the resistance of the total circuit is $2 \ \Omega$, then the force needed to move the rod towards the right with a constant speed $(v)$ of $1.5 \ m/s$ is . . . . . . $N$.
Question diagram
A
$7.5 \times 10^{-2}$
B
$5.7 \times 10^{-3}$
C
$5.7 \times 10^{-2}$
D
$7.5 \times 10^{-3}$

Solution

(D) The motional electromotive force $(EMF)$ induced in the rod is given by $\varepsilon = B l v$.
Given: $B = 0.10 \ T$, $l = 1 \ m$, $v = 1.5 \ m/s$, and $R = 2 \ \Omega$.
The induced current in the circuit is $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{B l v}{R}$.
The magnetic force acting on the rod is $F_B = I l B = \left( \frac{B l v}{R} \right) l B = \frac{B^2 l^2 v}{R}$.
To move the rod with a constant speed, the external force $F_{ext}$ must be equal and opposite to the magnetic force $F_B$.
$F_{ext} = F_B = \frac{B^2 l^2 v}{R}$.
Substituting the values:
$F_{ext} = \frac{(0.1)^2 \times (1)^2 \times 1.5}{2} = \frac{0.01 \times 1 \times 1.5}{2} = \frac{0.015}{2} = 0.0075 \ N$.
$F_{ext} = 7.5 \times 10^{-3} \ N$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ metal rod of length $L$ rotates about one end at origin with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$. The magnetic field radially falls off as $B(r) = B_0 e^{-\lambda r}$; $\lambda$ being a positive constant. The emf induced (neglecting the centripetal force on electrons in the rod) is :
A
$B_0 \omega [\frac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L} (\frac{1}{\lambda^2} + \frac{L}{\lambda})]$
B
$B_0 \omega [\frac{1}{\lambda^2} + e^{-\lambda L} (\frac{1}{\lambda^2} + \frac{L}{\lambda})]$
C
$B_0 \omega [\frac{4}{\lambda^2} - e^{-2\lambda L} (\frac{1}{\lambda^2} + \frac{2L}{\lambda})]$
D
$B_0 \omega [\frac{3}{\lambda^2} - e^{-3\lambda L} (\frac{3}{\lambda^2} + \frac{L}{\lambda})]$

Solution

(A) The motional emf $d\varepsilon$ induced in a small element $dr$ at distance $r$ is $d\varepsilon = (v) B(r) dr$, where $v = \omega r$.
Thus, $d\varepsilon = (\omega r) (B_0 e^{-\lambda r}) dr$.
Integrating from $r=0$ to $L$: $\varepsilon = \int_0^L \omega B_0 r e^{-\lambda r} dr$.
Using integration by parts $\int r e^{-\lambda r} dr = -\frac{r}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda r} - \frac{1}{\lambda^2} e^{-\lambda r}$.
Evaluating from $0$ to $L$: $\varepsilon = \omega B_0 [(-\frac{L}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda L} - \frac{1}{\lambda^2} e^{-\lambda L}) - (0 - \frac{1}{\lambda^2})]$.
Simplifying the expression: $\varepsilon = B_0 \omega [\frac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L} (\frac{1}{\lambda^2} + \frac{L}{\lambda})]$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ rectangular wire loop of sides $8 \text{ cm}$ and $3 \text{ cm}$ with a small cut is moving out of a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude $0.3 \text{ T}$ directed normal to the plane of the loop. The emf developed across the cut, if the velocity of the loop is $2 \text{ cm s}^{-1}$ in a direction normal to the shorter side of the loop, will be:
A
$1.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ V}$
B
$1.3 \times 10^{-4} \text{ V}$
C
$1.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ V}$
D
$4.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ V}$

Solution

(A) The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by the formula $\varepsilon = B l v$, where $B$ is the magnetic field strength, $l$ is the length of the conductor moving perpendicular to the field, and $v$ is the velocity of the conductor.
Given values are: $B = 0.3 \text{ T}$, $l = 3 \text{ cm} = 0.03 \text{ m}$ (since the velocity is normal to the shorter side, the length of the side cutting the field lines is $3 \text{ cm}$), and $v = 2 \text{ cm s}^{-1} = 0.02 \text{ m s}^{-1}$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\varepsilon = 0.3 \text{ T} \times 0.03 \text{ m} \times 0.02 \text{ m s}^{-1}$
$\varepsilon = 0.00018 \text{ V} = 1.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ V}$.
Therefore, the correct option is $A$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ long rectangular conducting loop of width '$l$',mass '$m$',and resistance '$R$' is placed partly in a perpendicular magnetic field '$B$'. With what velocity should it be pushed downwards so that it may continue to fall without any acceleration? ($g = $ acceleration due to gravity)
Question diagram
A
$\frac{B^2 l^2}{mgR}$
B
$\frac{mgR}{B^2 l^2}$
C
$\frac{B^2 l}{mgR^2}$
D
$\frac{mgR^2}{Bl}$

Solution

(B) When the loop moves downwards with velocity '$v$' in a magnetic field '$B$',an induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is generated across the width '$l$' of the loop, given by $\varepsilon = Blv$.
Since the loop has resistance '$R$',an induced current '$I$' flows through it, given by $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{Blv}{R}$.
The magnetic force '$F$' acting on the horizontal segment of the loop in the magnetic field is $F = BIl = B(\frac{Blv}{R})l = \frac{B^2 l^2 v}{R}$.
This force acts upwards, opposing the gravitational force '$mg$'.
For the loop to fall without any acceleration, the net force must be zero, which means the magnetic force must balance the gravitational force:
$F = mg$
$\frac{B^2 l^2 v}{R} = mg$
Solving for '$v$':
$v = \frac{mgR}{B^2 l^2}$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ square loop of area $25 \ cm^2$ has a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $40 \ T$. The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The work done in pulling the loop out of the magnetic field slowly and uniformly in $1 \ s$ will be:
A
$2.5 \times 10^{-3} \ J$
B
$1.0 \times 10^{-3} \ J$
C
$1.0 \times 10^{-4} \ J$
D
$5 \times 10^{-3} \ J$

Solution

(B) The area of the square loop is $A = 25 \ cm^2 = 25 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$. The side length of the loop is $l = \sqrt{A} = 5 \times 10^{-2} \ m$.
The magnetic field $B = 40 \ T$ and resistance $R = 10 \ \Omega$.
When the loop is pulled out of the magnetic field with velocity $v$, the induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is $\varepsilon = Blv$.
The time taken to pull the loop out is $t = 1 \ s$. The velocity is $v = l/t = (5 \times 10^{-2} \ m) / (1 \ s) = 5 \times 10^{-2} \ m/s$.
The induced $EMF$ is $\varepsilon = 40 \times (5 \times 10^{-2}) \times (5 \times 10^{-2}) = 0.1 \ V$.
The power dissipated as heat is $P = \varepsilon^2 / R = (0.1)^2 / 10 = 0.01 / 10 = 10^{-3} \ W$.
The work done is equal to the heat dissipated: $W = P \times t = 10^{-3} \ W \times 1 \ s = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} \ J$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ metal rod of length '$L$' completes the circuit as shown. The area of the circuit is perpendicular to the magnetic field '$B$'. The total resistance of the circuit is '$R$'. The force needed to move the rod in the direction as shown with a constant speed '$V$' is
Question diagram
A
$\frac{BVL}{R}$
B
$\frac{B^2 L^2 V}{R}$
C
$\frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R}$
D
$\frac{BLV^2}{R}$

Solution

(B) When a metal rod of length '$L$' moves with a constant velocity '$V$' in a magnetic field '$B$',an induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is generated across the rod, given by $\varepsilon = BLV$.
Since the rod completes a circuit with total resistance '$R$',the induced current '$I$' flowing through the circuit is $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{BLV}{R}$.
The magnetic force '$F_m$' acting on the current-carrying rod in the magnetic field is given by $F_m = I L B$.
Substituting the value of '$I$',we get $F_m = (\frac{BLV}{R}) L B = \frac{B^2 L^2 V}{R}$.
To move the rod at a constant speed, an external force '$F$' must be applied equal and opposite to the magnetic force. Therefore, the required force is $F = \frac{B^2 L^2 V}{R}$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ straight line conductor of length $0.4 \ m$ is moved with a speed of $7.0 \ ms^{-1}$ perpendicular to a magnetic field of intensity $0.8 \ Wb \ m^{-2}$. The induced e.m.f. across the conductor is (in $V$)
A
$2.24$
B
$2.80$
C
$3.20$
D
$5.60$

Solution

(A) The induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) $\varepsilon$ in a conductor moving perpendicular to a magnetic field is given by the formula: $\varepsilon = B \cdot l \cdot v$
Where:
$B = 0.8 \ Wb \ m^{-2}$ (Magnetic field intensity)
$l = 0.4 \ m$ (Length of the conductor)
$v = 7.0 \ ms^{-1}$ (Speed of the conductor)
Substituting the values:
$\varepsilon = 0.8 \times 0.4 \times 7.0$
$\varepsilon = 0.32 \times 7.0$
$\varepsilon = 2.24 \ V$
Thus, the induced e.m.f. across the conductor is $2.24 \ V$.

An aeroplane having a wing span of $30 \ m$ flies due north with a speed of $170 \ m/s$. If the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is $B = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \ T$, the potential difference between the tips of the wings will be: (in $mV$)
A
$136.4$
B
$183.6$
C
$272.8$
D
$367.2$

Solution

(B) The motional electromotive force $(EMF)$ induced across the wings of an aeroplane moving through a magnetic field is given by the formula: $\varepsilon = B \cdot l \cdot v$
Where:
$B = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \ T$ (Magnetic field)
$l = 30 \ m$ (Wing span)
$v = 170 \ m/s$ (Velocity)
Substituting the values into the equation:
$\varepsilon = (3.6 \times 10^{-5}) \times 30 \times 170$
$\varepsilon = 3.6 \times 5100 \times 10^{-5}$
$\varepsilon = 18360 \times 10^{-5} \ V$
$\varepsilon = 0.1836 \ V$
Converting to millivolts $(mV)$:
$0.1836 \ V = 183.6 \ mV$
Therefore, the potential difference between the tips of the wings is $183.6 \ mV$.

In the figure shown, the conductor $PQ$ of length $l$ is moved from $x = 0$ to $x = b$ and then up to $x = 2b$ with a constant velocity $\vec{v}$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and extends from $x = 0$ to $x = b$, and it is zero for $x > b$. The magnitude of the emf induced in the conductor is:
Question diagram
A
$Blv$ for $0 \le x < b$ and $0$ for $b \le x < 2b$
B
$0$ for $0 \le x < b$ and $Blv$ for $b \le x < 2b$
C
$Blv$ for all $x$ from $0$ to $2b$
D
$0$ for all $x$ from $0$ to $2b$

Solution

(A) The motional emf induced in a conductor of length $l$ moving with velocity $v$ in a magnetic field $B$ is given by $\varepsilon = Blv$, provided the velocity, magnetic field, and length are mutually perpendicular.
Step $1$: For the region $0 \le x < b$, the conductor is moving through a uniform magnetic field $B$. Thus, the induced emf is $\varepsilon = Blv$.
Step $2$: For the region $x > b$, the magnetic field $B = 0$. Therefore, the induced emf is $\varepsilon = B \cdot l \cdot v = 0 \cdot l \cdot v = 0$.
Conclusion: The induced emf is $Blv$ for $0 \le x < b$ and $0$ for $b \le x < 2b$.
