Question
A right-angled triangle abc, made from a metallic wire, moves at a uniform speed v in its plane as shown in figure. A uniform magnetic field B exists in the perpendicular direction. Find the emf induced:
  1. In the loop abc.
  2. In the segment bc.
  3. In the segment ac.
  4. In the segment ab.

Answer


  1. Zero as the components of ab are exactly opposite to that of bc. So they cancel each other. Because velocity should be perpendicular to the length.
  2. e = Bv × l
= Bv(bc) + ve at C
  1. e = 0 as the velocity is not perpendicular to the length.
  2. e = Bv(bc) positive at ‘a’.
i.e. the component of ‘ab’ along the perpendicular direction.

A rectangular metallic loop of length l and width b is placed coplanarly with a long wire carrying a current i. The loop is moved perpendicular to the wire with a speed v in the plane containing the wire and the loop. Calculate the emf induced in the loop when the rear end of the loop is at a distance a from the wire. Solve by using Faraday's law for the flux through the loop and also by replacing different segments with equivalent batteries.
In the Auger process an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive, calculate the kinetic energy of an n = 4 Auger electron emitted by Chromium by absorbing the energy from a n = 2 to n = 1 transition.
