Questions  

A semicircular wire of radius R is rotated with constant angular velocity about an axis passing through one end and perpendicular to the plane of the wire. There is a uniform magnetic field of strength B. The induced emf between the ends is

a
BωR2/2
b
2BωR2
c
is variable
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

We connect a conducting wire from A to C and complete the semicircular loop.The emf in the semicircular loop iszero be cause its magnetic flux does not change.∴ emf of section APC + emf of  section CQA = 0∴ emf of section APC = emf of section AQC=2BR2ω

The diagram shows a circuit having a coil of resistance R=2.5Ω and inductance L connected to a conducting rod PQ which can slide on a perfectly conducting circular ring of radius 10 cm with its centre at 'P'. Assume that friction and gravity are absent and a constant uniform magnetic field of 5 T exists as shown in figure.

At t = 0, the circuit is switched on and simultaneously a time varying external torque is applied on the rod so that it rotates about P with a constant angular velocity 40 rad/s. Find magnitude of this torque (in milli Nm) when current reaches half of its maximum value. Neglect the self-inductance of the loop formed by the circuit.
