Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 2]PhysicsElectromagnetic Induction
Comprising 1000 turns, a coil with a radius of 10 cm and a resistance of 40 is positioned such that its plane is vertical and its axis aligns parallel to the magnetic meridian. This coil is connected to a galvanometer and subsequently rotated by an angle of 180^ about its vertical diameter. Determine the charge that flows through the galvanometer, given that the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is B
Options
- A3.0 10⁻⁵ C
- B0.75 10⁻⁵ C
- C1.5 10⁻⁵ C
- D6.0 10⁻⁵ C
Correct answer
C. 1.5 10⁻⁵ C
Step-by-step solution
Initial magnetic flux linked with the coil is _i = NBA (0^ ) = NBA Final magnetic flux linked with the coil after 180^ rotation is _f = NBA (180^ ) = -NBA Magnitude of change in magnetic flux is | | = | _f - _i| = 2NBA The charge flowing through the circuit is given by q = | | R = 2NBA R Substituting the given values: N = 1000 B = 3.0 10⁻⁵ T A = r^2 = (0.1)^2 = 0.01 m ^2 R = 40 q = 2 1000 3.0 10⁻⁵ 0.01 40 q = 60 10⁻⁵ 40 = 1.5 10⁻⁵ C
