There are two circular coils P and Q placed coaxially at a distance x from each other. Radius of P is a, and that of Q is b and a gt gt b. Current I is established in P for some time. Find the charge that flows through Q in this time interval.

Answer»

Solution :Magnetic field due to the coil P at a distance x from its centre on its axis is given by the following relation:
`B=(mu_(0)Ia^(2))/(2(a^(2)+x^(2))^(3 // 2))`
Since coils are coaxial hence magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of coil Q. Coil Q is very small, hence, we can assume field to be the same everywhere on the plane of coil Q Magnetic flux linked with the coil Q can be written as follows:
`phi=B(PIB^(2))=(mu_(0)Ia^(2))/(2(a^(2)+x^(2))^(3 // 2))(pib^(2))`
`phi=(mu_(0)piIa^(2)b^(2))/(2(a^(2)+x^(2))^(3 // 2))`
Let current is turned off in time interval `Deltat` then final flux becomes zero and hence change in flux is same as initial flux.
`DELTAPHI=(mu_(0)piIa^(2)b^(2))/(2(a^(2)+x^(2))^(3 // 2))` ...(i)
Average emf induced in the coil Q.
`EPSILON=(Deltaphi)/(Deltat)`
Average current through the coil Q can be written as follows:
`i=(epsilon)/(R)=(1)/(R)(Deltaphi)/(Deltat)`
hence, charge flow through the coil Q can be written as follows:
`Deltaq=iDeltat=(Deltaphi)/(R)`
Substituting AP from equation (i) we get charge flow through the coil Q as follows:
`Deltaq=(mu_(0)piIa^(2)b^(2))/(2R(a^(2)+x^(2))^(3 // 2))`
