Figure shows a rectangular conducting loop PQSR in which arm RS of length ‘l’ is movable. The loop is kept in a uniform magnetic field B directed downwards perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The arm RS is moved with a uniform speed v. Deduce an expression for :(i) The emf induced across the arm RS. (ii) The external force required to move the arm, and (iii) The power dissipated as heat.

Answer»

(i). The mobile free electrons in arm RS are driven from S to R, according to Fleming’s left hand rule. 

Each charge ‘q’ within the arm RS moves with velocity \(\vec{V}\) and experiences a magnetic force, 

F = |q| vB.

Work done in moving the charge +q from R to S, 

W = F × RS

= (q v B)× l

∴ emf induced = work done per unit charge

i.e.,

e = \(\frac{W}{q}\)

\(\frac{qvBl}{q}\)

= Blv.

(ii). If R is the resistance of the loop PQRS at a given instant, the induced current is :

I = \(\frac{e}{R}\)

\(\frac{Blv}{R}\)

∴The magnitude of force on the conductor RS moving in the magnetic field is :

F = BIl 

= B(\(\frac{Blv}{R}\)).l 

\(\frac{B^2l^2v}{R}\)

The direction of this force is opposite to the velocity of the conductor.

∴ |Fext|= |F| 

(According to Newton’s 3rd law)

Fext \(\frac{B^2l^2v}{R}\) 

(iii) Power required to push the conductor with velocity 'v':

P =Fext × v 

\(\frac{B^2l^2v}{R}\) \(\times\) v

\(\frac{B^2l^2v^2}{R}\)

As the conductor is pushed mechanically,

Power dissipated as heat,

P = I2R

\((\frac{Blv}{R})^2.R\) 

\(\frac{B^2l^2v^2}{R}\)
