Step-by-step Derivation
1. Model the physical setup and interpret the current
The problem describes a long circular tube carrying a current I along its curved surface. For a long tube, this setup is equivalent to an ideal solenoid or a cylindrical current sheet. The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is uniform and parallel to its axis.
The current is given as . The phrase "carries a current I along its curved surface" over a length of m implies that this total current is distributed over the length of the tube. This gives rise to a surface current density (current per unit axial length), , flowing azimuthally (in circles around the tube's axis).
2. Calculate the magnetic field inside the tube
The magnetic field inside a long solenoid (or a cylindrical current sheet) is given by . This field is uniform inside the tube and directed along its axis.
3. Calculate the magnetic flux through the wire loop
The wire loop is placed coaxially inside the tube. It has a radius of m. The area of the loop is . Since the magnetic field is uniform and parallel to the axis of the loop, the magnetic flux through the loop is:
4. Find the induced e.m.f. in the loop
According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) is the negative time derivative of the magnetic flux:
5. Calculate the induced current in the loop
The loop has a resistance of . Using Ohm's law, the induced current is:
6. Determine the magnetic moment of the loop
The magnetic moment () of a current loop is given by the product of the current in the loop and its area:
7. Compare with the given expression to find N
The problem states that the magnetic moment of the loop is . By comparing this with our derived expression, we can find the value of N:
8. Substitute the given values
We are given:
- Length of the tube, m
- Radius of the loop, m
- Resistance of the loop,
- Angular frequency, rad/s (from the argument of cosine)
For integer-type questions in JEE, it's common to use the approximation .
Using a more precise value, , we get , which rounds to 6.
Thus, the integer value of N is 6.
