A metal rod of length rotates about one end at origin with a uniform angular velocity . The magnetic field radially falls off as ; being a positive constant. The emf induced (neglecting the centripetal force on electrons in the rod) is :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The motional emf induced in a small element of length at a distance from the origin is given by:
Since the rod is rotating with angular velocity , the velocity of the element is .
The total emf induced dEr = 0r = LE = \int_0^L B_0 \omega r e^{-\lambda r} drE = B_0 \omega \int_0^L r e^{-\lambda r} dr\int r e^{-\lambda r} dr = r \left( \dfrac{e^{-\lambda r}}{-\lambda} \right) - \int 1 \cdot \left( \dfrac{e^{-\lambda r}}{-\lambda} \right) dr= -\dfrac{r}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda r} - \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} e^{-\lambda r}0L\int_0^L r e^{-\lambda r} dr = \left[ -\dfrac{L}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda L} - \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} e^{-\lambda L} \right] - \left[ 0 - \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} e^0 \right]= \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L} \left( \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda} \right)E = B_0 \omega \left[ \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L} \left( \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda} \right) \right]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda}\right)\right]
Since the rod is rotating with angular velocity , the velocity of the element is .
The total emf induced dEr = 0r = LE = \int_0^L B_0 \omega r e^{-\lambda r} drE = B_0 \omega \int_0^L r e^{-\lambda r} dr\int r e^{-\lambda r} dr = r \left( \dfrac{e^{-\lambda r}}{-\lambda} \right) - \int 1 \cdot \left( \dfrac{e^{-\lambda r}}{-\lambda} \right) dr= -\dfrac{r}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda r} - \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} e^{-\lambda r}0L\int_0^L r e^{-\lambda r} dr = \left[ -\dfrac{L}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda L} - \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} e^{-\lambda L} \right] - \left[ 0 - \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} e^0 \right]= \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L} \left( \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda} \right)E = B_0 \omega \left[ \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L} \left( \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda} \right) \right]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda}\right)\right]
