(iii) the average emf induced in the loop over a long period. (iv) if resistance of loop is R, amount of charge flown in time t = 0 to t = 2T. (v) heat produced in time t = 0 to t = 2T.

Answer» Initially, plane of loop is `_|_^(ar)` to the field. Let at any time, normal to loop makes an angle `theta` with magnetic field `theta=omegat`.
The flux passing through loop,
`phi_(B)=MB_(0)Scos theta=MB_(0)b^(2)cosomegat`
`rArr" "e=-(dphi_(B))/(dt)=MB_(0)b^(2)omega sin omegat=e_(0)sinomegat,`

(ii) For emf to be maximum, then sin `omegat` should be equal to 1.
`rArr" "e_(max)=e_(0)`
(iii) Long period means one time period, i.e., `0rarrT`
We know that average emf is given as
`bar(e)=(int_(0)^(T)edt)/(int_(0)^(T)dt)=(1)/(T).e_(0)int_(0)^(T)sinomegatdt=0" "(becauseint_(0)^(T)sinomegatdt=0)`
(iv) Using the relation, induced current,
`i=(e)/(R)=(e_(0))/(R)sinomegat=i_(0)sinomegat`
where, `i_(0)=(e_(0))/(R)`.
We know q = idt
So, for time `Orarr2T`,
`q=int_(0)^(2T)"idt"=i_(0)int_(0)^(2T)sinomegatdt=0`
(v) Heat (H) generated in a loop during time `0rarr2T`, is given as
`H=int_(0)^(2T)(e^(2))/(R)dt=(e_(0)^(2))/(0)int_(0)^(2T)sin^(2)omegatdt`
`=(e_(0)^(2))/(R).2.(T)/(2)=(e_(0)^(2))/(R).(2pi)/(omega)=(2pie_(0)^(2))/(omegaR)" "(becauseT=(2pi)/(omega))`

Answer» Here, `E_(v) = 20 V, v = 750 Hz, R = 100 Omega, C mu F = 10^(-5) F, L = 0.1803 H, Delta theta = 10^(@)C, ms = 2 J//.^(@)C`
`X_(L) = 2 pi v L = 2 xx (22)/(7) xx 750 xx 0.1803 Omega = 850 Omega, X_(C ) = (1)/(2 pi v C) = (1)/(2 xx (22)/(7) xx 750 xx 10 xx 10^(-6)) Omega = 21.2 Omega`
`Z = sqrt(R^(2) + (X_(L) - X_(C))^(2)) = sqrt(100^(2) + (850 - 21.2)^(2)) = 834.8 Omega`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(Z) = (20)/(834.8) = 0.02395`
As `I_(v)^(2) Rt = (ms) Delta theta = 2 xx 10 = 20 :. t = 20//I_(v)^(2) R = (20)/((0.02395)^(2) xx 100) = 348.7 s`

The phenomenon of generating current/e.m.f. in a circuit by changing magnetic field linked with the circuit is called electromagnetic induction (EMI). In our daily lives, we use (EMI) in many ways without even realiaing it. Read the above passage and answer the following question : (i) What is the most universal application of EMI ? (ii) How is the phenomenon being used to enhance the safety of all our important establishments ?

Answer» (i) The most universal application of the phenomenon of EMI is in the generation of electricity all over the world. Electricity is the eighth wonder of modern civilized world. It is just impossible to imagine the world without electricity as nothing works without electric power. And this electric power generation is based on hte phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. We are using electricity every moment without realizing the phenomenon of EMI, used in its production.
(ii) All key estabishments like airports, railway stations, bus terminals, shopping malls, defence, scientific research areas etc. are provided with metal detectors at their main entrance. The visitors are to pass through the are of the detector and they are subjected to a series of magnetic field pulses. If the visitor has some metal object like knife, dagger, pistol etc. on his person, the currents induced in these objects create their own magnetic field echo, which is detected. The safety inspectors on duty can then check the visitor more thoroughly.

Self-inductance of a coil is 50mH. A current of 1 A passing through the coil reduces to zero at steady rate in 0.1 s, the self-induced emf isA. 5 VB. 0.05 VC. 50 VD. 0.5 V

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Here, `L=50xx10^(-3)H`
`(dI)/(dt)=((1-0))/(0.1)=10`
emf, `e=(L.dI)/(dt)=50xx10^(-3)xx10`
`=50xx10^(-2)=0.5V`

Current in a circuit falls form 0.5 A to 0.0 A in 0.1 s. If an average e.m.f. of 200 V is induced, give an estimate of the self inductance of the circuit ?

Answer» Here, `(dI)/(dt) = ((I_(2) - I_(1)))/(t) = (0.0 - 0.5)/(0.1) = - 50 As^(-1), e = 200 V, L = ?`
As `|e| = L |(dI)/(dt)| :. L = (|e|)/(|dI // dt|) = (200)/(50) = 4 H`

In a coil current falls from 5 A to 0 A in 0.2 s. If an average emf of 150 V is induced, then the self inductance of the coil isA. 4HB. 2 HC. 3 HD. 6 H

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Here `(dI)/(dt)=(0-5)/(0.2)=-25A s^(-1),epsi=150V`
`As |epsi|=|(dI)/(dt)|`
`:. L=(|epsi|)/(|dI//dt|)=(250)/(25)=6H`
