Magnetics question

2020 · 4 Sep · Shift 2 · Q59

JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsMCQ+4 / −1
A circular coil has moment of inertia 0.8 kg m2 around any diameter and is carrying current to produce a magnetic moment of 20 Am2 . The coil is kept initially in a vertical position and it can rotate freely around a horizontal diameter. When a uniform magnetic field of 4 T is applied along the vertical,it starts rotating around its horizontal diameter. The angular speed the coil acquires after rotating by 60o will be:
  1. A
    10 π\piπ rad s–1
  2. B
    20 π\piπ rad s–1
  3. C
    10(3)1/410{\left( 3 \right)^{1/4}}10(3)1/4 rad s–1
  4. D
    20 rad s–1

Correct answer: C

  1. Given data
  • Moment of inertia about the horizontal diameter: I=0.8 kg m2I = 0.8\ \text{kg m}^2I=0.8 kg m2
  • Magnetic moment of coil: m=20 A m2m = 20\ \text{A m}^2m=20 A m2
  • Magnetic field: B=4 TB = 4\ \text{T}B=4 T
  • Initial rotation from vertical position through: θ=60∘\theta = 60^\circθ=60∘
  1. Magnetic potential energy

For a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field, U=−mBcos⁡ϕU = -mB\cos\phiU=−mBcosϕ where ϕ\phiϕ is the angle between magnetic moment m⃗\vec mm and magnetic field B⃗\vec BB.

Since the coil is initially in a vertical plane, its magnetic moment is horizontal. The field is applied vertically.

So initially, ϕi=90∘\phi_i = 90^\circϕi​=90∘ Hence, Ui=−mBcos⁡90∘=0U_i = -mB\cos 90^\circ = 0Ui​=−mBcos90∘=0

After rotating by 60∘60^\circ60∘ about the horizontal diameter, the normal to the coil (and hence magnetic moment) makes angle ϕf=30∘\phi_f = 30^\circϕf​=30∘ with the vertical field.

Thus, Uf=−mBcos⁡30∘U_f = -mB\cos 30^\circUf​=−mBcos30∘

  1. Use conservation of energy

The decrease in magnetic potential energy becomes rotational kinetic energy: 12Iω2=Ui−Uf\frac12 I\omega^2 = U_i - U_f21​Iω2=Ui​−Uf​

So, 12Iω2=0−(−mBcos⁡30∘)=mBcos⁡30∘\frac12 I\omega^2 = 0 - (-mB\cos 30^\circ) = mB\cos 30^\circ21​Iω2=0−(−mBcos30∘)=mBcos30∘

Substitute values: 12(0.8)ω2=20⋅4⋅32\frac12(0.8)\omega^2 = 20\cdot 4 \cdot \frac{\sqrt3}{2}21​(0.8)ω2=20⋅4⋅23​​

0.4ω2=4030.4\omega^2 = 40\sqrt30.4ω2=403​

ω2=4030.4=1003\omega^2 = \frac{40\sqrt3}{0.4} = 100\sqrt3ω2=0.4403​​=1003​

Therefore, ω=1003=1034 rad s−1\omega = \sqrt{100\sqrt3} = 10\sqrt[4]{3}\ \text{rad s}^{-1}ω=1003​​=1043​ rad s−1

  1. Match with options

This corresponds to: 10 31/4 rad s−1\boxed{10\,3^{1/4}\ \text{rad s}^{-1}}1031/4 rad s−1​

So the correct option is C.
