Question

A circular conducting loop of radius 21.0 cm is located in a region of homogeneous magnetic field of magnitude 0.900 T pointing perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The loop is connected in series with a resistor of 199 . The magnetic field is now increased at a constant rate by a factor of 2.30 in 21.0s.
a. Calculate the magnitude of the induced emf in the loop while the magnetic field is increasing.

b. Calculate the magnitude of the current induced in the loop while the field is increasing.

Explanation / Answer

Area of the loop, A = pi*r^2

= pi*0.21^2

= 0.1385 m^2

a) Induced emf = the rate of change if magnetic flux

= A*(B2 - B1)/t

= 0.1385*(2.3*0.9 - 0.9)/21

= 7.72*10^-3 volts

b) induced current = Induced emf/R

= 7.72*10^-3/199

= 3.88*10^-5 A
