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 = \((\frac{Blv}{R})^2.R\) = \(\frac{B^2l^2v^2}{R}\) |
