A thin wire AC shaped as a semi-circle of diameter d rotates with a constant angular frequency (omega) in a uniform magnetic field of indcution vec(B). The vector vec(omega) is parallel to vec(B) and the rotation axis XY passes through the end A of the wire and is perpendicular to the diameter AC (see Fig.). vec(B) is directed left to right in the plane of the paper. The value of the line intergral I=int vec(E)* d vec(r) taken along the wire form the point A to the point C will be (omega Bd^(2))/(?). What interger should be inserted in place of question mark.

Solution :It is clear that the diameter AC TRACES out a circle as the given wire rotates about axis XY. The emf developed by induction between the ends A and C of the given semicircular wire is the sme as if a straight wire AC were rotating PERPENDICULAR to field B.
Hence flux linked=`phi_(B)=B(1/2(AC)^(2)theta)`
where `theta` is the angle traced in time t.
By Faraday's law, the induced emf `E=oint vec(E)*dvec(L)`
But we also have , `oint E*dl = e =-(d phi_(B))/(dt)`
`oint E*dr = -(d)/(dt) (1/2 (d)^(2)theta)B`
`=-1/2 d^(2)B((d theta)/(dt))=-(B)/(2) omega d^(2)`
But we desire only the `int_(C )^(A) E*dr` which will be `1/2` or `oint E*dr`.
Hence `oint_(C)^(A) E*dr = -(B)/(2) omega d^(2)`.
