A square loop of side 2.0 cm is placed inside a long solenoid that has 50 turns per centimetre and carries a sinusoidally varying current of amplitude 2.5 A and angular frequency 700rads−1. The central axes of the loop and solenoid coincide. The amplitude of the emf induced in the loop is x×10−4V. The value of x is ____ (Take, π=722)
Answer: 44
Solution
The magnetic field inside the solenoid is B=μ0nI, where n=50 turns/cm =5000 turns/m. The flux through the square loop is Φ=B⋅A=μ0nIA, where A=(2×10−2)2=4×10−4 m². The induced emf is ε=−dtdΦ=−μ0nAdtdI. For I=I0sin(ωt), dtdI=I0ωcos(ωt). The amplitude of emf is ε0=μ0nAI0ω=4π×10−7×5000×4×10−4×2.5×700=44×10−4 V. Therefore, x=44.
