A magnetic field induction is changing in magnitude at a constant rate dBdt\dfrac{dB}{dt}. The plane of a circular loop of radius rr of copper wire (mass mm and radius aa) is placed perpendicular to the field. The induced current in the loop is {\rho=specificresistance,= specific resistance,\delta = density of copper}

Options

  1. A2πρδmdBdt\dfrac{2\pi\rho\delta}{m}\dfrac{dB}{dt}
  2. Bm2πρδdBdt\dfrac{m}{2\pi\rho\delta}\dfrac{dB}{dt}
  3. Cm4πρδdBdt\dfrac{m}{4\pi\rho\delta}\dfrac{dB}{dt}
  4. D4πρδmdBdt\dfrac{4\pi\rho\delta}{m}\dfrac{dB}{dt}

Correct answer

C. m4πρδdBdt\dfrac{m}{4\pi\rho\delta}\dfrac{dB}{dt}

Step-by-step solution

The induced electromotive force in the circular loop is given by Faraday's law of induction:

E=AdBdt=πr2dBdtE = A \dfrac{dB}{dt} = \pi r^2 \dfrac{dB}{dt}

The resistance of the copper wire forming the loop is:

R=ρlA′=ρ2πrπa2R = \rho \dfrac{l}{A'} = \rho \dfrac{2\pi r}{\pi a^2}

The induced current in the loop is:

I=ER=πr2dBdtρ2πrπa2=πra22ρdBdtI = \dfrac{E}{R} = \dfrac{\pi r^2 \dfrac{dB}{dt}}{\rho \dfrac{2\pi r}{\pi a^2}} = \dfrac{\pi r a^2}{2\rho} \dfrac{dB}{dt}

The mass of the copper wire is the product of its volume and density:

m=(πa2)(2πr)δ=2π2a2rδm = (\pi a^2)(2\pi r)\delta = 2\pi^2 a^2 r \delta

Rearranging the above expression yields:

πra2=m2πδ\pi r a^2 = \dfrac{m}{2\pi \delta}

Substituting this into the expression for the induced current, we get:

I=12ρ(m2πδ)dBdt=m4πρδdBdtI = \dfrac{1}{2\rho} \left( \dfrac{m}{2\pi \delta} \right) \dfrac{dB}{dt} = \dfrac{m}{4\pi \rho \delta} \dfrac{dB}{dt}

Answer: m4πρδdBdt\dfrac{m}{4\pi\rho\delta}\dfrac{dB}{dt}
