Question
  1. Obtain an expression for the mutual inductance between a long straight wire and a square loop of side a as shown in Fig.
  2. Now assume that the straight wire carries a current of 50A and the loop is moved to the right with a constant velocity, v = 10\m/s. Calculate the induced emf in the loop at the instant when x = 0.2m. Take a = 0.1m and assume that the loop has a large resistance.

Answer

  1. Take a small element dy in the loop at a distance y from the long straight wire (as shown in the given figure).

Magnetic flux associated with element dy, $\text{d}\phi=\text{BdA}$

Where,

dA = Area of element dy = ady

B = Magnetic field at distance y

$=\frac{\mu_0\text{I}}{2\pi\text{y}}\text{s}$

I = Current in the wire

$\mu_0=\text{Permeability of free space}=4\pi\times10^{-7}\text{Tm}\text{A}^{-1}$

$\therefore\ \text{d}\phi=\frac{\mu_0\text{Ia}}{2\pi}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{y}}\text{s}$

$\phi=\frac{\mu_0\text{Ia}}{2\pi}\int\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{y}}$

y tends from x to a + x.s

$\therefore\ \phi=\frac{\mu_0\text{I}\text{a}^{\text{a}+\text{x}}}{2\pi}\int_{\text{x}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{y}}$

$=\frac{\mu_0\text{Ia}}{2\pi}\big[\log_{\text{e}}\text{ y}\big]_{\text{x}}^{\text{a}+\text{x}}$

$=\frac{\mu_0\text{Ia}}{2\pi}\log_{\text{e}}\Big(\frac{\text{a}+\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)$

For mutual inductance M, the flux is given as:

$\phi=\text{mI}$

$\therefore\ \text{mI}=\frac{\mu_0\text{Ia}}{2\pi}\log_{\text{e}}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}+1\Big)$

$\text{m}=\frac{\mu_0\text{a}}{2\pi}\log_{\text{e}}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}+1\Big)$

  1. Emf induced in the loop, $\text{e}=\text{B}'\text{av}\Big(\frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\Big)\text{av}$ Given,

I = 50A

x = 0.2m

a = 0.1m

v = 10m/s

$\text{BQv}=\frac{\text{M}\text{v}^2}{\text{r}}$

$\therefore\ \text{B}2\pi\text{r}\lambda\text{r}^2=\frac{\text{Mv}}{\text{r}}$

$\text{v}=\frac{\text{B}2\pi\text{r}\lambda\text{r}^2}{\text{M}}$

$\text{For }\text{r}\leq\text{a}\text{ and }\text{a}<\text{R},\ \text{we get}:$

$(\text{i})=-\frac{2\text{B}_0\text{a}^2\lambda}{\text{MR}}\text{k}$

e = 5 × 10-5V

A small particle travelling with a velocity u collides elastically with a spherical body of equal mass and of radius r initially kept at rest. The centre of this spherical body is located a distance (p < r) away from the direction of motion of the particle. Find the final velocities of the two particles.

[Hint: The force acts along the normal to the sphere through the contact. Treat the collision as onedimensional for this direction. In the tangential direction no force acts and the velocities do not change].
