JEE AdvancedPhysicsMagnetismMCQ+3 / −1
A point charge Q is moving in a circular orbit of radius R in the xy-plane with an angular velocity ω\omegaω. This can be considered as equivalent to a loop carrying a steady current Qω2π{{Q\omega } \over {2\pi }}2πQω​. A uniform magnetic field along the positive z-axis is now switched on, which increases at a constant rate from 0 to B in one second. Assume that the radius of the orbit remains constant. The application of the magnetic field induces an emf in the orbit. The induced emf is defined as the work done by an induced electric field in moving a unit positive charge around a closed loop. It is known that, for an orbiting charge, the magnetic dipole moment is proportional to the angular momentum with a proportionality constant γ\gammaγ.The magnitude of the induced electric field in the orbit at any instant of time during the time interval of the magnetic field change is

Correct answer: B

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Identify the relevant physical principles. The problem involves a changing magnetic field creating an induced electric field. This phenomenon is described by Faraday's Law of Induction. The law relates the induced electromotive force (EMF) to the rate of change of magnetic flux. The EMF is also related to the line integral of the induced electric field around a closed loop.

  2. Faraday's Law of Induction. Faraday's Law states that the induced EMF, ε, in a closed loop is equal to the negative time rate of change of the magnetic flux, ΦBΦ_BΦB​, through the loop. ε=−dΦBdtε = -{{dΦ_B} \over {dt}}ε=−dtdΦB​​

  3. Calculate the Magnetic Flux (ΦBΦ_BΦB​). The charge moves in a circular orbit of radius R in the xy-plane. The area of this orbit (loop) is A = πR². The magnetic field B(t) is uniform and directed along the positive z-axis, which is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. Therefore, the magnetic flux through the loop is: ΦB=B⃗⋅A⃗=B(t)Acos⁡(0°)=B(t)πR2Φ_B = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A} = B(t) A \cos(0°) = B(t) πR²ΦB​=B⋅A=B(t)Acos(0°)=B(t)πR2

  4. Calculate the Rate of Change of Magnetic Flux. We can now substitute the expression for ΦBΦ_BΦB​ into Faraday's Law. The problem states that the radius R of the orbit remains constant. ε=−ddt(B(t)πR2)=−πR2dBdtε = -{{d} \over {dt}}(B(t) πR²) = -πR² {{dB} \over {dt}}ε=−dtd​(B(t)πR2)=−πR2dtdB​

  5. Determine the Rate of Change of the Magnetic Field (dB/dt). The magnetic field increases at a constant rate from 0 to a final magnitude B in one second. Thus, the rate of change dB/dt is constant: dBdt=ΔBΔt=Bfinal−Binitialtfinal−tinitial=B−01−0=B{{dB} \over {dt}} = {{ΔB} \over {Δt}} = {{B_{final} - B_{initial}} \over {t_{final} - t_{initial}}} = {{B - 0} \over {1 - 0}} = BdtdB​=ΔtΔB​=tfinal​−tinitial​Bfinal​−Binitial​​=1−0B−0​=B The units are Tesla/second.

  6. Calculate the Magnitude of the Induced EMF. Substituting the value of dB/dt into the equation for EMF, we find the magnitude of the induced EMF: ∣ε∣=∣−πR2B∣=πR2B|ε| = |-πR² B| = πR² B∣ε∣=∣−πR2B∣=πR2B

  7. Relate EMF to the Induced Electric Field (E). The problem defines the induced EMF as the work done by the induced electric field (E) in moving a unit positive charge around the closed loop. This is mathematically expressed as the line integral of the electric field around the loop: ε=∮E⃗⋅dl⃗ε = \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l}ε=∮E⋅dl Due to the cylindrical symmetry of the setup (uniform magnetic field along the axis of a circular loop), the induced electric field lines must be concentric circles in the xy-plane. The magnitude of the electric field, E, will be constant at all points on the circular orbit of radius R. The vector E⃗\vec{E}E is tangential to the orbit, and so is the line element dl⃗d\vec{l}dl. Thus, E⃗⋅dl⃗=Edl\vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} = E dlE⋅dl=Edl. The integral becomes: ∣ε∣=∮Edl=E∮dl=E×(circumference of the orbit)|ε| = \oint E dl = E \oint dl = E \times (\text{circumference of the orbit})∣ε∣=∮Edl=E∮dl=E×(circumference of the orbit) ∣ε∣=E(2πR)|ε| = E (2πR)∣ε∣=E(2πR)

  8. Solve for the Magnitude of the Induced Electric Field (E). We now have two expressions for the magnitude of the induced EMF. By equating them, we can solve for E: E(2πR)=πR2BE (2πR) = πR² BE(2πR)=πR2B E=πR2B2πRE = {{πR² B} \over {2πR}}E=2πRπR2B​ E=BR2E = {{BR} \over {2}}E=2BR​ This is the magnitude of the induced electric field at any instant during the one-second interval, as dB/dt is constant.

  9. Compare with Options. The calculated value E = BR/2 matches option B.

The extra information about the charge Q, angular velocity ω, and the proportionality between magnetic dipole moment and angular momentum is not needed to solve for the induced electric field and can be disregarded for this specific question.
