Electromagnetic Induction question

2021 · 27 Aug · Shift 2 · Q48

JEE MainPhysicsElectromagnetic InductionMCQ+4 / −1
A constant magnetic field of 1T is applied in the x > 0 region. A metallic circular ring of radius 1m is moving with a constant velocity of 1 m/s along the x-axis. At t = 0s, the centre of O of the ring is at x = −-− 1m. What will be the value of the induced emf in the ring at t = 1s? (Assume the velocity of the ring does not change.)

Correct answer: C

  1. Given data
  • Magnetic field in region x>0x>0x>0: B=1 TB = 1\,\text{T}B=1T
  • Radius of ring: r=1 mr = 1\,\text{m}r=1m
  • Speed of ring along +x+x+x direction: v=1 m/sv = 1\,\text{m/s}v=1m/s
  • At t=0t=0t=0, centre is at x=−1 mx=-1\,\text{m}x=−1m

We need induced emf at t=1 st=1\,\text{s}t=1s.


  1. Position of the centre at t=1 st=1\,\text{s}t=1s

Since the ring moves with constant velocity 1 m/s1\,\text{m/s}1m/s,

xc=−1+(1)(1)=0x_c = -1 + (1)(1) = 0xc​=−1+(1)(1)=0

So at t=1 st=1\,\text{s}t=1s, the centre of the ring is exactly on the boundary x=0x=0x=0.


  1. Magnetic flux through the ring

Magnetic field exists only in the region x>0x>0x>0. Therefore, at this instant, exactly the right half of the ring lies inside the magnetic field.

Flux through the ring is

Φ=B×(area of ring in x>0)\Phi = B \times (\text{area of ring in } x>0)Φ=B×(area of ring in x>0)

At t=1 st=1\,\text{s}t=1s, area inside field = area of semicircle:

A=πr22=π2A = \frac{\pi r^2}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2}A=2πr2​=2π​

But induced emf is not just from flux value; it is from rate of change of flux:

E=∣dΦdt∣=B∣dAdt∣\mathcal{E} = \left|\frac{d\Phi}{dt}\right| = B\left|\frac{dA}{dt}\right|E=​dtdΦ​​=B​dtdA​​


  1. Rate of change of area at the boundary position

As the circle enters the field region, the area inside the field changes at a rate equal to

dAdt=v×(length of chord cut by the boundary)\frac{dA}{dt} = v \times (\text{length of chord cut by the boundary})dtdA​=v×(length of chord cut by the boundary)

Here the boundary is the line x=0x=0x=0. When the centre is at x=0x=0x=0, this line passes through the diameter of the circle, so chord length is the full vertical diameter:

chord length=2r=2 m\text{chord length} = 2r = 2\,\text{m}chord length=2r=2m

Thus,

dAdt=v(2r)=1×2=2 m2/s\frac{dA}{dt} = v(2r) = 1 \times 2 = 2\,\text{m}^2/\text{s}dtdA​=v(2r)=1×2=2m2/s

Hence,

E=BdAdt=1×2=2 V\mathcal{E} = B\frac{dA}{dt} = 1 \times 2 = 2\,\text{V}E=BdtdA​=1×2=2V


  1. Check options
  • A: 1 V1\,\text{V}1V ❌
  • B: 2π V2\pi\,\text{V}2πV ❌
  • C: 2 V2\,\text{V}2V ✅
  • D: 0 V0\,\text{V}0V ❌

  1. Final answer

The induced emf at t=1 st=1\,\text{s}t=1s is

2 V\boxed{2\,\text{V}}2V​
