$O D B A C$ is a fixed rectangular conductor of negligible resistance ( $C O$ is not connected) and $O P$ is a conductor which rotates clockwise with an angular velocity $\omega$ (figure). The entire system is in a uniform magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ whose direction is along the normal to the surface of the rectangular conductor $A B D C$. The conductor $O P$ is in electric contact with $A B D C$. The rotating conductor has a resistance of $\lambda$ per unit length. Find the current in the rotating conductor, as it rotates by $180^{\circ}$.

Explanation

Let us consider the position of rotating conductor at time interval

$$t=0 \text { to } t=\frac{\pi}{4 \omega}(\text { or } T / 8)$$

the rod $O P$ will make contact with the side $B D$. Let the length $O Q$ of the contact at sometime $t$ such that $0

$$\begin{aligned} \phi & =B \frac{1}{2} Q D \times O D=B \frac{1}{2} l \tan \theta \times l \\ & =\frac{1}{2} B i^2 \tan \theta, \text { where } \theta=\omega t \end{aligned}$$

Applying Faraday's law of EMI,

Thus, the magnitude of the emf generated is $\varepsilon=\frac{d \phi}{d t}=\frac{1}{2} B l^2 \omega \sec ^2 \omega t$

The current is $I=\frac{\varepsilon}{R}$ where $R$ is the resistance of the rod in contact. where, $R \propto \lambda$

$$\begin{aligned} & R=\lambda x=\frac{\lambda l}{\cos \omega t} \\ \therefore\quad & I=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B l^2 \omega}{\lambda l} \sec ^2 \omega t \cos \omega t=\frac{B l \omega}{2 \lambda \cos \omega t} \end{aligned}$$

Let the length $O Q$ of the contact at some timet such that $\frac{\pi}{4 \omega}

$$\begin{aligned} & \phi=\left(l^2+\frac{1}{2} \frac{l^2}{\tan \theta}\right) B \\ \text{where,}\quad & \theta=\omega t \end{aligned}$$

Thus, the magnitude of emf generated in the loop is

$\varepsilon=\frac{d \phi}{d t}=\frac{1}{2} B l^2 \omega \frac{\sec ^2 \omega t}{\tan ^2 \omega t}$

The current is $I=\frac{\varepsilon}{R}=\frac{\varepsilon}{\lambda x}=\frac{\varepsilon \sin \omega t}{\lambda l}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B l \omega}{\lambda \sin \omega t}$

Similarly for $\frac{3 \pi}{4 \omega} < t < \frac{\pi}{\omega}$ or $\frac{3 T}{8} < t < \frac{T}{2}$, the rod will be in touch with $A C$.

The flux through $O Q A B D$ is given by

$$\phi=\left(2 l^2-\frac{l^2}{2 \tan \omega t}\right) B$$

And the magnitude of emf generated in loop is given by

$$\begin{aligned} & \varepsilon=\frac{d \phi}{d t}=\frac{B \omega l^2 \sec ^2 \omega t}{2 \tan ^2 \omega t} \\ & l=\frac{\varepsilon}{R}=\frac{\varepsilon}{\lambda x}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B l \omega}{\lambda \sin \omega t} \end{aligned}$$

These are the required expressions.

Consider an infinitely long wire carrying a current $I(t)$, with $\frac{d I}{d t}=\lambda=$ constant. Find the current produced in the rectangular loop of wire $A B C D$ if its resistance is $R$ (figure).

Explanation

Let us consider a strip of length $l$ and width $d r$ at a distance $r$ from infinite long current carrying wire. The magnetic field at strip due to current carrying wire is given by

Field $B(r)=\frac{\propto_0 I}{2 \pi r}$ (out of paper)

Total flux through the loop is

$$\text { Flux }=\frac{\propto_0 I}{2 \pi} l \int_{x_0}^x \frac{d r}{r}=\frac{\propto_0 I}{2 \pi} \ln \frac{x}{x_0}\quad\text{.... (i)}$$

The emf induced can be obtained by differentiating the eq. (i) wrt $t$ and then applying Ohm's law

$$\begin{aligned} &\frac{\varepsilon}{R}=I\\ &\text { We have, induced current }=\frac{1}{R} \frac{d \phi}{d t}=\frac{\varepsilon}{R}=\frac{\propto_0 I}{2 \pi} \frac{\lambda}{R} \ln \frac{x}{x_0}\quad\left(\because \frac{d \mathrm{I}}{d t}=\lambda\right) \end{aligned}$$

$A$ rectangular loop of wire $A B C D$ is kept close to an infinitely long wire carrying a current $I(t)=I_0(1-t / T)$ for $0 \leq t \leq T$ and $I(0)=0$ for $t>T$ (figure.). Find the total charge passing through a given point in the loop, in time $T$. The resistance of the loop is $R$.

Explanation

The emf induced can be obtained by differentiating the expression of magnetic flux linked wrtt and then applying Ohm's law

$$I=\frac{E}{R}=\frac{1}{R} \frac{d \phi}{d t}$$

We know that electric current

$$I(t)=\frac{d Q}{d t} \text { or } \frac{d Q}{d t}=\frac{1}{R} \frac{d \phi}{d t}$$

Integrating the variable separable form of differential equation for finding the charge $Q$ that passed in time $t$, we have

$$\begin{aligned} Q\left(t_1\right)-Q\left(t_2\right) & =\frac{1}{R}\left[\phi\left(t_1\right)-\phi\left(t_2\right)\right] \\ \phi\left(t_1\right) & =L_1 \frac{\alpha_0}{2 \pi} \int_x^{L_2+x} \frac{d x^{\prime}}{x^{\prime}} I\left(t_1\right) \quad\text{[Refer to the Eq. (i) of answer no.25] }\\ & =\frac{\alpha_0 L_1}{2 \pi} I\left(t_1\right) \ln \frac{L_2+x}{x} \end{aligned}$$

The magnitude of charge is given by,

$$\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\propto_0 L_1}{2 \pi} \ln \frac{L_2+x}{x}\left[I_0+0\right] \\ & =\frac{\propto_0 L_1}{2 \pi} I_1 \ln \left(\frac{L_2+x}{x}\right) \end{aligned}$$

This is the required expression.

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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

$$=\frac{m g R \sin \theta}{B^2 d^2 \cos ^2 \theta}\left(1-\exp \left(-\frac{B^2 d^2}{m R}\left(\cos ^2 \theta\right) t\right)\right)$$
