Figure shows a conducting circular loop of radius a placed in a uniform, perpendicular magnetic field B. A thick metal rod OA is pivoted at the centre O. The other end of the rod touches the loop at A. Tec entre O and a fixed point C on the loop are connected by a wire OC of resistance R. A force is applied at the middle point of the rod OA perpendicularly, so that the rod rotates clockwise at a uniform angular velocity ω. Find the force.


Given:


Radius = a


Magnetic field = B


Resistance = R


Angular velocity = w


Formula used:


Let us consider an element of length dr at a distance r from the centre.


Hence, induced emf on this portion … (i), where B = magnetic field, dr = length of element, w = angular velocity, r = distance from centre (since v = ωr)


Hence, integrating on both sides with suitable limits, we get



Now, current , where E = emf, resistance = R


=>


Hence, force on the rod (where I = current, a = length of rod, B = magnetic field) (Ans)

A rectangular metallic loop of length ℓ and width b is placed

coplanarly with a long wire carrying a current i figure. The loop is moved perpendicular to the wire with a speed v in the plane containing the wire and the loop. Calculate the emf induced in the loop when the rear end of the loop is at a distance a from the wire. Solve by using Faraday’s law for the flux through the loop and also by replacing different segments with equivalent batteries.

Consider the situation shown in the figure of the previous problem. Suppose the wire connecting O and C has zero resistance but the circular loop has a resistance R uniformly distributed along its length. The rod OA is made of rotate with a uniform angular speed ω as shown in the figure. Find the current in the rod when AOC = 90°.

Consider a variation of the previous problem figure. Suppose the circular loop lies in a vertical plane. The rod has a mass m. The rod and the loop have negligible resistances but the wire connecting O and C has a resistance R. The rod is made to rotate with a uniform angular velocity ω in the clockwise direction by applying a force at the midpoint of OA in a direction perpendicular to it. Find the magnitude of this force when the rod makes an angle θ with the vertical.
