Find the current in the wire for the configuration shown in figure. Wire $P Q$ has negligible resistance. $B$, the magnetic field is coming out of the paper. $\theta$ is a fixed angle made by $P Q$ travelling smoothly over two conducting parallel wires separated by a distance $d$.
The motional electric field $E$ along the dotted line $C D$ ( $\wedge$ to both $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ and along $\mathbf{V} \times \mathbf{B}$ ) $=v B$
Therefore, the motional emf along $P Q=($ length $P Q) \times($ field along $P Q)$
$$\begin{aligned} & =(\text { length } P Q) \times(v B \sin \theta) \\ & =\left(\frac{d}{\sin \theta}\right) \times(v B \sin \theta)=v B d \end{aligned}$$
This induced emf make flow of current in closed circuit of resistance $R$. $I=\frac{d v B}{R}$ and is independent of $q$.
A (current versus time) graph of the current passing through a solenoid is shown in figure. For which time is the back electromotive force $(u)$ a maximum. If the back emf at $t=3 \mathrm{~s}$ is $e$, find the back emf at $t=7 \mathrm{~s}, 15 \mathrm{~s}$ and 40 s. $O A, A B$ and $B C$ are straight line segments.
The back electromotive force in solenoid is $(u)$ a maximum when there is maximum rate 0 change of current. This occurs is in $A B$ part of the graph. So maximum back emf will be obtained between $5 \mathrm{~s} Since, the back emf at $t=3 \mathrm{~s}$ is $e$ Also, the rate of change of current at $t=3, \mathrm{~s}=$ slope of $O A$ from $t=0 \mathrm{~s}$ to $t=5 \mathrm{~s}=1 / 5 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s}$. So, we have If $u=L 1 / 5\left(\right.$ for $\left.t=3 \mathrm{~s}, \frac{d I}{d t}=1 / 5\right)$ ( $L$ is a constant). Applying $\varepsilon=-L \frac{d I}{d t}$ Similarly, we have for other values For $5 \mathrm{~s} Thus, at $t=7 \mathrm{~s}, u_1=-3 \mathrm{e}$ For $10 \mathrm{~s} $$u_2=L \frac{2}{20}=\frac{L}{10}=\frac{1}{2} e$$ For $t>30 \mathrm{~s}, u_2=0$ Thus, the back emf at $t=7 \mathrm{~s}, 15 \mathrm{~s}$ and 40 s are $-3 e, e / 2$ and 0 respectively.
There are two coils $A$ and $B$ separated by some distance. If a current of $2 A$ flows through $A$, a magnetic flux of $10^{-2} \mathrm{~Wb}$ passes through $B$ (no current through $B$ ). If no current passes through $A$ and a current of 1 A passes through $B$, what is the flux through $A$ ?
Applying the mutual inductance of coil $A$ with respect to coil $B$
$$M_{21}=\frac{N_2 \phi_2}{I_1}$$
Therefore, we have
$$\text { Mutual inductance }=\frac{10^{-2}}{2}=5 \mathrm{mH}$$
Again applying this formula for other case
$$N_1 \phi_1=M_{12} I_2=5 \mathrm{mH} \times 1 \mathrm{~A}=5 \mathrm{mWb}$$
A magnetic field $\mathbf{B}=B_0 \sin (\omega t) \hat{\mathbf{k}}$ covers a large region where a wire $A B$ slides smoothly over two parallel conductors separated by a distance $d$ (figure). The wires are in the $x-y$ plane. The wire $A B$ (of length $d$ ) has resistance $R$ and the parallel wires have negligible resistance. If $A B$ is moving with velocity $v$, what is the current in the circuit. What is the force needed to keep the wire moving at constant velocity?
Let us assume that the parallel wires at are $y=0$ i.e., along $x$-axis and $y=d$. At $t=0, A B$ has $x=0$, i.e., along $y$-axis and moves with a velocity $v$. Let at time $t$, wire is at $x(t)=v t$.
Now, the motional emf across $A B$ is
$$=\left(B_0 \sin \omega t\right) v d(-\hat{\mathbf{j}})$$
emf due to change in field (along $O B A C$ )
$$=-B_0 \omega \cos \omega t x(t) d$$
Total emf in the circuit $=$ emf due to change in field (along $O B A C$ ) + the motional emf across $A B$
$$=-B_0 d[\omega x \cos (\omega t)+v \sin (\omega t)]$$
Electric current in clockwise direction is given by
$$=\frac{B_0 d}{R}(\omega x \cos \omega t+v \sin \omega t)$$
The force acting on the conductor is given by $F=i l B \sin 90 \Upsilon=i l B$
Substituting the values, we have
$$\begin{aligned} \text { Force needed along } \mathbf{i} & =\frac{B_0 d}{R}(\omega x \cos \omega t+v \sin \omega t) \times d \times B_0 \sin \omega t \\ & =\frac{B_0^2 d^2}{R}(\omega x \cos \omega t+v \sin \omega t) \sin \omega t \end{aligned}$$
This is the required expression for force./p>
A conducting wire $X Y$ of mass $m$ and negligible resistance slides smoothly on two parallel conducting wires as shown in figure. The closed circuit has a resistance $R$ due to $A C$. $A B$ and $C D$ are perfect conductors. There is a magnetic field $\mathbf{B}=B(t) \hat{\mathbf{k}}$
(i) Write down equation for the acceleration of the wire $X Y$.
(ii) If $\mathbf{B}$ is independent of time, obtain $v(t)$, assuming $v(0)=u_0$
(iii) For (ii), show that the decrease in kinetic energy of $X Y$ equals the heat lost in .
Let us assume that the parallel wires at are $y=0$, i.e., along $x$-axis and $y=l$. At $t=0, X Y$ has $x=0$ i.e., along $y$-axis.
(i) Let the wire be at $x=x(t)$ at timet .
The magnetic flux linked with the loop is given by
$$\begin{aligned} & \qquad \phi=\mathbf{B} \cdot \mathbf{A}=B A \cos 0=B A \\ & \text { at any instant } t \quad \text { Magnetic fluX }=B(t)(l \times x(t)) \\ & \text { Total emf in the circuit }=\text { emf due to change in field (along } X Y A C)+ \text { the motional emf } \\ & \text { across } X Y \end{aligned}$$
$E=-\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-\frac{d B(t)}{d t} l x(t)-B(t) l v(t) \quad$ [second term due to motional emf]
Electric current in clockwise direction is given by
$$I=\frac{1}{R} E$$
The force acting on the conductor is given by $F=i l B \sin 90 \Upsilon=i l B$
Substituting the values, we have
$$\text { Force }=\frac{I B(t)}{R}\left[-\frac{d B(t)}{d t} I x(t)-B(t) I v(t)\right] \hat{\mathbf{i}}$$
Applying Newton's second law of motion,
$$m \frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=-\frac{I^2 B(t)}{R} \frac{d B}{d t} x(t)-\frac{I^2 B^2(t)}{R} \frac{d x}{d t}\quad\text{.... (i)}$$
which is the required equation.
(ii) If $\mathbf{B}$ is independent of time i.e., $B=$ Constant Or
$$\frac{d B}{d t}=0$$
Substituting the above value in Eq (i), we have
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}+\frac{I^2 B^2}{m R} \frac{d x}{d t} & =0 \\ \text{or}\quad\frac{d v}{d t}+\frac{I^2 B^2}{m R} v & =0 \end{aligned}$$
Integrating using variable separable form of differential equation, we have
$$v=A \exp \left(\frac{-I^2 B^2 t}{m R}\right)$$
Applying given conditions,
$$\begin{aligned} & \text { at } t=0, v=u_0 \\ & v(t)=u_0 \exp \left(-I^2 B^2 t / m R\right) \end{aligned}$$
This is the required equation.
(iii) Since the power consumption is given by $P=I^2 R$
Here,
$$\begin{aligned} I^2 R & =\frac{B^2 I^2 V^2(t)}{R^2} \times R \\ & =\frac{B^2 I^2}{R} u_0^2 \exp \left(-2 I^2 B^2 t I m R\right) \end{aligned}$$
Now, energy consumed in time interval $d t$ is given by energy consumed $=P d t=I^2 R d t$
Therefore, total energy consumed in time $t$
$$\begin{aligned} & \left.=\int_0^t I^2 R d t=\frac{B^2 I^2}{R} u_0^2 \frac{m R}{2 I^2 B^2}\left[1-e^{-\left(l^2 B^2 t / m r\right.}\right)\right] \\ & =\frac{m}{2} u_0^2-\frac{m}{2} v^2(t) \\ & =\text { decrease in kinetic energy. } \end{aligned}$$
This proves that the decrease in kinetic energy of $X Y$ equals the heat lost in $R$.
