A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field 0.04 T0.04\text{ T} with its plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The radius of the loop starts shrinking at 2 mm/s2\text{ mm/s}. The induced emf in the loop when the radius is 2 cm2\text{ cm} is:

A

3.2πμV3.2\pi\mu\text{V}

B

4.8πμV4.8\pi\mu\text{V}

C

0.8πμV0.8\pi\mu\text{V}

D

1.6πμV1.6\pi\mu\text{V}

Step-by-Step Solution

According to Faraday's Law of Induction, the magnitude of the induced emf (ε|\varepsilon|) is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux (ΦB\Phi_B) .

  1. Formula: The magnetic flux through the loop is ΦB=BA=B(πr2)\Phi_B = B \cdot A = B(\pi r^2), where BB is the magnetic field and rr is the radius. Differentiating with respect to time tt: ε=dΦBdt=ddt(Bπr2)|\varepsilon| = \left| \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} \right| = \left| \frac{d}{dt} (B \pi r^2) \right| Since BB is constant, we use the chain rule for the changing radius: ε=Bπd(r2)dt=Bπ(2r)drdt|\varepsilon| = B \pi \frac{d(r^2)}{dt} = B \pi (2r) \left| \frac{dr}{dt} \right|

  2. Given Values: Magnetic Field B=0.04 T=4×102 TB = 0.04 \text{ T} = 4 \times 10^{-2} \text{ T} Radius r=2 cm=2×102 mr = 2 \text{ cm} = 2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}

  • Rate of shrinking drdt=2 mm/s=2×103 m/s\left| \frac{dr}{dt} \right| = 2 \text{ mm/s} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m/s}
  1. Calculation: Substituting the values into the derived equation: ε=(4×102)×π×2(2×102)×(2×103)|\varepsilon| = (4 \times 10^{-2}) \times \pi \times 2(2 \times 10^{-2}) \times (2 \times 10^{-3}) ε=(4×2×2×2)π×10223|\varepsilon| = (4 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2) \pi \times 10^{-2-2-3} ε=32π×107 V|\varepsilon| = 32 \pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ V} ε=3.2π×106 V|\varepsilon| = 3.2 \pi \times 10^{-6} \text{ V} Since 106 V=1μV10^{-6} \text{ V} = 1 \mu\text{V}: ε=3.2πμV|\varepsilon| = 3.2\pi \mu\text{V}
