A conducting loop of face-area A and resistance R is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field B. The loop is withdrawn completely from the field. Find the charge which flows through any cross-section of the wire in the process. Note that it is independent of the shape of the loop as well as the way it is withdrawn.
Given:
Face area of loop =A
Resistance of loop=R
Magnetic field intensity =B
Magnetic flux(ϕ) through the loop is given by the formula
![]()
![]()
Where B=magnetic field intensity
A=area of cross section
θ =angle between area vector and magnetic field
initially loop is perpendicular to the applied magnetic field hence initial flux is
![]()
Finally, when the loop is withdrawn from the field flux is given by
![]()
Now,
Average induced emf in time interval Δt is given by
…(i)
Where
are flux across the cross section at time intervals
respectively
Using eqn.(i) we get
![]()
Current flowing in the loop is calculated by using formula
![]()
Hence the charge (Q) flowing through the loop is
![]()
Therefore, charge flowing through any cross-section of the wire is BA/R
