Practice Questions

  1. When the coil is rotated between the pole pieces of a magnet as shown, how often will the magnetic flux linked with the coil be maximum and minimum during one complete rotation of the coil?

Ans: According to Faraday’s law when the magnetic flux linking a circuit changes, an electromotive force is induced in the circuit proportional to the rate of change of the flux linkage.

So, when  rectangular coil is rotated in a uniform magnetic field about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the direction of the field, then the induced voltage in the coil =dtdϕ​ ⇒ e.m.f= dϕ

⇒ e.m.f = NABωcosθ

where θ is the angle between the plane of the coil and the lines of force.

So, the induced emf in the coil is maximum when cosθ is maximum or θ is zero means when the plane of the coil is parallel to the field.

  1. A rectangular loop has dimensions of 0.50m and 0.60m. The values of B are 0.02T and 45°, respectively. Calculate the magnetic flux at the surface.

Ans: Given:

Dimensions of rectangular loop = 0.50m and 0.60m,

B = 0.02T

θ = 45°

Magnetic flux formula is given by

ΦB = B A Cosθ

Area, A = 0.50 × 0.60

= 0.3 m2

ΦB = 0.02 × 0.3 × Cos 45

ΦB = 0.00312 Wb

  1. A perpendicular field of force of magnitude 0.1 T is applied to an oblong loop with dimensions of three cm by 5 cm. How does one calculate the magnetic flux through the loop?

Ans: With formula ΦB = BACosθ, magnetic flux is defined because of the product of field, area, and therefore the angle between B and a unit vector perpendicular to the surface.

Here, the loop is positioned perpendicular to the force field B, namely the angle between B and a unit vector normal to the surface n is zero θ = 0⁰. Therefore, applying the formula we get,

=(0.1)(0.03×0.05)cos0∘

=15×10⁻⁻⁵

Wb =0.15 Wb
