A magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ is confined to a region $r \leq a$ and points out of the paper (the $z$-axis), $r=0$ being the centre of the circular region. A charged ring (charge $=Q$ ) of radius $b, b>a$ and mass $m$ lies in the $x-y$ plane with its centre at the origin. The ring is free to rotate and is at rest. The magnetic field is brought to zero in time $\Delta t$. Find the angular velocity $\omega$ of the ring after the field vanishes.
Since, the magnetic field is brought to zero in time $\Delta t$, the magnetic flux linked with the ring also reduces from maximum to zero. This, in turn, induces an emf in ring by the phenomenon of EMI. The induces emf causes the electric field $E$ generation around the ring.
The induced emf $=$ electric field $E \times(2 \pi b)($ Because $V=E \times d)$ ..... (i)
By Faraday's law of EMI
The induced emf $=$ rate of change of magnetic flux
$=$ rate of change of magnetic field $\times$ area
$$=\frac{B л a^2}{\Delta t}\quad\text{... (ii)}$$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
$$2 \pi b E=\mathrm{e} m f=\frac{B \pi a^2}{\Delta t}$$
Since, the charged ring experienced a electric force $=Q E$ This force try to rotate the coil, and the torque is given by
$$\begin{aligned} \text { Torque } & =b \times \text { Force } \\ & =Q E b=Q\left[\frac{B \pi a^2}{2 \pi b \Delta t}\right] b \\ & =Q \frac{B a^2}{2 \Delta t} \end{aligned}$$
If $\Delta L$ is the change in angular momentum
$$\Delta L=\text { Torque } \times \Delta t=Q \frac{B a^2}{2}$$
Since, initial angular momentum $=0$
Now, since $\quad$ Torque $\times \Delta t=$ Change in angular momentum
Final angular momentum $=m b^2 \omega=\frac{Q B a^2}{2}$
$$\omega=\frac{Q B a^2}{2 m b^2}$$
On rearranging the terms, we have the required expression of angular speed.
A rod of mass $m$ and resistance $R$ slides smoothly over two parallel perfectly conducting wires kept sloping at an angle $\theta$ with respect to the horizontal (figure). The circuit is closed through a perfect conductor at the top. There is a constant magnetic field B along the vertical direction. If the rod is initially at rest, find the velocity of the rod as a function of time.
Here, the component of magnetic field perpendicular the plane $=B \cos \theta$
Now, the conductor moves with speed $v$ perpendicular to $B \cos \theta$ component of magnetic field. This causes motional emf across two ends of rod, which is given by $=v(B \cos \theta) d$
This makes flow of induced current $i=\frac{v(B \cos \theta) d}{R}$ where, $R$ is the resistance of rod. Now, current carrying rod experience force which is given by $F=i B d$ (horizontally in backward direction).
Now, the component of magnetic force parallel to incline plane along upward direction $=F \cos \theta=i B d \cos \theta=\left(\frac{v(B \cos \theta) d}{R}\right) B d \cos \theta$ where, $v=\frac{d x}{d t}$
Also, the component of weight $(\mathrm{mg})$ parallel to incline plane along downward direction $=m g \sin \theta$.
Now, by Newton's second law of motion
$$\begin{aligned} m \frac{d^2 x}{d t^2} & =m g \sin \theta-\frac{B \cos \theta d}{R}\left(\frac{d x}{d t}\right) \times(B d) \cos \theta \\ \frac{d v}{d t} & =g \sin \theta-\frac{B^2 d^2}{m R}(\cos \theta)^2 v \\ \frac{d v}{d t} & +\frac{B^2 d^2}{m R}(\cos \theta)^2 v=g \sin \theta \end{aligned}$$
But, this is the linear differential equation. On solving, we get
$$v=\frac{g \sin \theta}{\frac{B^2 d^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{m R}}+A \exp \left(-\frac{B^2 d^2}{m R}\left(\cos ^2 \theta\right) t\right)$$
$A$ is a constant to be determine by initial conditions.
The required expression of velocity as a function of time is given by
$$=\frac{m g R \sin \theta}{B^2 d^2 \cos ^2 \theta}\left(1-\exp \left(-\frac{B^2 d^2}{m R}\left(\cos ^2 \theta\right) t\right)\right)$$
Find the current in the sliding rod $A B$ (resistance $=R$ ) for the arrangement shown in figure. $B$ is constant and is out of the paper. Parallel wires have no resistance, $v$ is constant. Switch $S$ is closed at time $t=0 .$
The conductor of length $d$ moves with speed $v$, perpendicular to magnetic field $B$ as shown in figure. This produces motional emf across two ends of rod, which is given by $=v B d$. Since, switch $S$ is closed at time $t=0$. capacitor is charged by this potential difference. Let $Q(t)$ is charge on the capacitor and current flows from $A$ to $B$.
Now, the induced current
$$I=\frac{v B d}{R}-\frac{Q}{R C}$$
On rearranging the terms, we have
$$\frac{Q}{R C}+\frac{d Q}{d t}=\frac{v B d}{R}$$
This is the linear differential equation. On solving, we get
$$\begin{aligned} & Q=v B d C+A e^{-t / R C} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad Q=v B d C\left[1-e^{-t / R C}\right] \quad \text { (At time } t=0, Q=0=A=-v B d c \text { ). } \end{aligned}$$
Differentiating, we get $I-\frac{v B d}{R} e^{-t / R C}$
This is the required expression of current.
Find the current in the sliding rod $A B$ (resistance $=R$ ) for the arrangement shown in figure. B is constant and is out of the paper. Parallel wires have no resistance, $\mathbf{v}$ is constant. Switch $S$ is closed at time $t=0$.
The conductor of length $d$ moves with speed $v$, perpendicular to magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ as shown in figure. This produces motional emf across two ends of rod, which is given by $=v B d$.
Since, switch $S$ is closed at time $t=0$. current start growing in inductor by the potential difference due to motional emf.
Applying Kirchhoff's voltage rule, we have
$$-L \frac{d I}{d t}+v B d=I R \text { or } L \frac{d I}{d t}+I R=v B d$$
This is the linear differential equation. On solving, we get
$$\begin{aligned} I & =\frac{v B d}{R}+A e^{-R t / 2} \\ \text { At } t & =0 \quad I=0 \\ \Rightarrow\quad A & =-\frac{v B d}{R} \Rightarrow I=\frac{v B d}{R}\left(1-e^{-R t / L}\right) \end{aligned}$$
This is the required expression of current.
A metallic ring of mass $m$ and radius $l$ (ring being horizontal) is falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field. If $z$ is the vertical direction, the $z$-component of magnetic field is $B_z=B_0(1+\lambda z)$. If $R$ is the resistance of the ring and if the ring falls with a velocity $v$, find the energy lost in the resistance. If the ring has reached a constant velocity, use the conservation of energy to determine $v$ in terms of $m, B$, $\lambda$ and acceleration due to gravity $g$.
The magnetic flux linked with the metallic ring of mass $m$ and radius $l$ falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field whose $z$-component of magnetic field is $B_z=B_0(1+\lambda z)$ is
$$\phi=B_z\left(\pi l^2\right)=B_0(1+\lambda z)\left(\pi l^2\right)$$
Applying Faraday's law of EMI, we have emf induced given by $\frac{d \phi}{d t}=$ rate of change of flux
Also, by Ohm's law
$$B_0\left(\pi l^2\right) \lambda \frac{d z}{d t}=I R$$
On rearranging the terms, we have $\quad I=\frac{\pi l^2 B_0 \lambda}{R} v$
Energy lost/second $$=I^2 R=\frac{\left(\pi l^2 \lambda\right)^2 B_0^2 v^2}{R}$$
This must come from rate of change in $\mathrm{PE}=m g \frac{d z}{d t}=m g v$ [as kinetic energy is constant for $v=$ constant]
Thus, $$m g v=\frac{\left(\pi l^2 \lambda B_0\right)^2 v^2}{R} \text { or } v=\frac{m g R}{\left(\pi l^2 \lambda B_0\right)^2}$$
This is the required expression of velocity.
