MCQ
A mathematical representation of electromagnetic wave is given by the two equations $E = E_{max}\,\, cos (kx -\omega\,t)$ and $B = B_{max} cos\, (kx -\omega\,t),$ where $E_{max}$ is the amplitude of the electric field and $B_{max}$ is the amplitude of the magnetic field. What is the intensity in terms of $E_{max}$ and universal constants $μ_0, \in_0.$
  • A
    $I=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {\frac{\mu_0}{\in_0}E^2_{max}}$

A highly conducting ring of radius $R$ is perpendicular to and concentric with the axis of a long solenoid as shown in fig. The ring has a narrow gap of width d in its circumference. The solenoid has cross sectional area A and a uniform internal field of magnitude $B_0$. Now beginning at $t = 0$, the solenoid current is steadily increased to so that the field magnitude at any time t is given by $B(t)$ = $B_0$ + $\alpha$t where $\alpha > 0$. Assuming that no charge can flow across the gap, the end of ring which has excess of positive charge and the magnitude of induced $e.m.f$. in the ring are respectively
