A square loop PQRS having 10 turns, area 3.6×10−3m2 and resistance 100Ω is slowly and uniformly being pulled out of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B=0.5T as shown. Work done in pulling the loop out of the field in 1.0 s is ____ ×10−6J.
Answer: 3
Solution
Induced emf ε=NBℓv, current i=RNBℓv, and the retarding force on the side in the field is F=NBiℓ=RN2B2ℓ2v. Work to pull the loop out a distance ℓ (with v=ℓ/t, ℓ2=A):
