In the given figure the magnetic flux through the loop increases according to the relation ϕβ(t)10t2+20t, where ϕβ is in milliwebers and t is in seconds. The magnitude of current through R=2Ω resistor at t=5s is ____ mA.
Answer: 60
Solution
Faraday's law gives the induced emf as the rate of change of flux:
∣ε∣=dtdϕB=dtd(10t2+20t)=(20t+20)mV
At t=5 s, ∣ε∣=120 mV. The loop carries only the 2Ω resistor, so
I=2Ω120mV=60mA
The magnitude of the current through the resistor is 60 mA.
