Magnetic flux and induced emf

Question

Two concentric coplanar circular loops made of wire with resistance per unit length 104Ω/m, have diameters 0.2 m and 2 m. A time varying potential difference (4 + 2.5t) volt is applied to the larger loop. The current (in A) in the smaller loop is _________________.

Difficult
Solution

The situation described in question is shown in figure

The magnetic induction at O, due to the current in large loop is given as

 where  B0=μ0i2R i=VR=(4+2.5t)(2πR)ρ B0=μ02R(4+2.5t)(2πR)ρ

Here we consider that the central loop is very small i.e., r << R, so the field may be considered as constant within the loop. Thus within the loop the field is B0 so the flux through smaller loop is given as

ϕ=B0×πr2=μ02R(4+2.5t)(2πR)ρπr2

Induced emf in the smaller loop is given as

e=dϕdt=μ0r24R2ρ×(2.5)

Thus current i in the smaller loop is given as

i=eR=μ0r24R2ρ×2.5×12πrρ i=2.5μ0r8πR2ρ2i=2.5×4π×107(0.1)8π×1×108=1.25A
