Multiple choice physics magnetic fields and electromagnetism magnetic flux density magnetic flux electromagnetic induction

The magnetic flux through a stationary loop with resistance R varies during the interval of time T as $\phi  = at(T - t)$ ./ The heat generated during this time neglecting the inductance of the loop will be :

  1. $\dfrac{{{a^2}{T^3}}}{{3R}}$
  2. $\dfrac{{{a^2}{T^2}}}{{3R}}$
  3. $\dfrac{{{a^2}T}}{{3R}}$
  4. $\dfrac{{{a^3}{T^3}}}{{3R}}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

The induced emf is given by Faraday's law as e = -d(phi)/dt. Integrating the square of the current over time yields the total heat generated, H = integral((e^2)/R) dt. Evaluating this integral from t = 0 to t = T for phi = at(T - t) results in a^2 T^3 / (3R).

The magnetic flux through a coil is $4\times 10^{-4} W/b/m^2$ at time $t=0$.It reduces to $10\%$ of its original value in 't' seconds.If the induced e.m.f is $0.72 m V,$ then the time t is:

  1. $0.25 s$
  2. $0.05 s$
  3. $0.75 s$
  4. $1 s$

B Correct answer
Explanation

As given in question

magnetic turn $=(\phi _1) = 4 \times 10^{-4}wb/m^2$
at $t = 0$
At, $t =t _2$, the turn reduces to $10\%$, means 
$\phi _2 = 0.9\ \phi _1$
As, per the farady's law,
In duced Emf $= \dfrac{Nd\ \phi}{dt}$
$e = \dfrac{nd\phi}{dt}$      ...(1)
$e = 0.72mu$ pur in (1), take $N = 1$ turns are constant
$0.72 \times 10^{-3} = \dfrac{-(\phi _2-\phi _1)}{(t _2-t _1)}$
$0.72\times 10^{-3} = \dfrac{-(0.9-2)\phi _1}{(t _2-0)}$
$t _2 = \dfrac{(0.1)\times (4\times 10^{-4})}{(0.72\times 10^{-3})}$
$t _2 = 0.05\ sec$

The ratio of magnetic inductions at the centre of a circular coil of radius a and on its axis at a distance equal to its radius, will be -

  1. $\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } $
  2. $\frac { \sqrt { 2 } }{ 1 } $
  3. $\frac { 1 }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } } $
  4. $\frac { 2\sqrt { 2 } }{ 1 } $

D Correct answer
Explanation

The magnetic induction at the center of a circular coil of radius a carrying current I is B_c = mu_0 I / (2a). The magnetic induction on its axis at a distance x = a is B_a = mu_0 I a^2 / (2(a^2 + a^2)^(3/2)) = mu_0 I / (4 sqrt(2) a). Taking the ratio B_c / B_a gives 2 sqrt(2) / 1.

Light with an energy flux of $18 w/cm^2$ falls on a non-reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface has an area of $20 cm^2$. Find the average force exerted on the surface during a 30 minute time

  1. $1.2 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } N$
  2. $2 .4\times 10 ^ { - 6 } N$
  3. $2.16 \times 10 ^ { - 3 } \mathrm { N }$
  4. $1.5\times 10 ^ { - 6 } N$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The total energy falling on the surface is $U = \left( {18W/c{m^2}} \right) \times \left( {20c{m^2}} \right) \times \left( {30 \times 60} \right) = 6.48 \times {10^5}J$

therefore$,$ the total momentum delivered is 
$P = \dfrac{U}{c} = \dfrac{{\left( {6.48 \times {{10}^5}J} \right)}}{{\left( {3 \times {{10}^8}\,m/s} \right)}} = 2.16 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,kgm/s$
The average force exerted on the surface is 
$F = \dfrac{p}{t} =  = \dfrac{{2.16 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{0.18 \times {{10}^4}}} = 1.2 \times {10^{ - 6}}N$
Hence,
option $(A)$ is correct answer.

The electric field in a certain region is $\left( 10\hat { i } +5\hat { j }  \right) \times { 10 }^{ 4 }N/C$. What is the flux due to this field over an area of $\left( 3\hat { i } +3\hat { j }  \right) \times { 10 }^{ -2 }{ m }^{ 2 }$ in ${ Nm }^{ 2 }/C?$

  1. $4.5\times { 10 }^{ 3 }$
  2. $3.5\times { 10 }^{ 3 }$
  3. $2.5\times { 10 }^{ 3 }$
  4. $1.5\times { 10 }^{ 3 }$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Electric flux is the dot product of the electric field vector and the area vector. Phi = (10i + 5j) * 10^4 * (3i + 3j) * 10^-2 = (30 + 15) * 10^2 = 45 * 10^2 = 4.5 * 10^3 Nm^2/C.

Current flowing through a long solenoid is varied. Then, magnetic flux density of the magnetic field inside varies ::

  1. inversely with $I$
  2. inversely with ${ I }^{ 2 }$
  3. directly with $I$
  4. directly with ${ I }^{ 2 }$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is given by B = mu0 * n * I, where n is the number of turns per unit length. Thus, B is directly proportional to the current I.
