Question 15 Marks
The current in a discharging LR circuit without the battery drops from 2.0A to 1.0A in 0.10s.
- Find the time constant of the circuit.
- If the inductance of the circuit is 4.0H, what is its resistance?
Answer
- For discharging circuit
$\text{i}=\text{i}_0\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\tau}$
$\Rightarrow1=2\text{e}^\frac{-0.1}{\tau}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{e}^\frac{-0.1}{\tau}$
$\Rightarrow\text{ln}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{ln}\Big(\text{e}^\frac{-0.1}{\tau}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow-0.693=\frac{-0.1}{\tau}$
$\Rightarrow\tau=\frac{0.1}{0.693}=0.144=0.14.$
- $\text{L}=4\text{H},\text{i}=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow0.14=\frac{4}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{4}{0.14}=28.57=28\Omega.$ View full question & answer→Question 25 Marks
Figure shows a situation similar to the previous problem. All parameters are the same except that a battery of emf $\in$ and a variable resistance R are connected between O and C. The connecting wires have zero resistance. No external force is applied on the rod (except gravity, forces by the magnetic field and by the pivot). In what way should the resistance R be changed so that the rod may rotate with uniform angular velocity in the clockwise direction? Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and the angle $\theta$ made by the rod OA with the horizontal.

Answer
$\text{emf}=\frac{1}{2}\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2$ [from previous problem]
Current $= \frac{\text{e}+\text{E}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2+\text{E}}{\text{R}}$
$=\frac{\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2 +2\text{E}}{2\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{mg} \cos \theta =\text{ilB}$ [Net force acting on the rod is O]
$\Rightarrow \text{mg}\cos\theta =\frac{\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2+2\text{E}}{2\text{R}}\text{a}\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow \text{R}=\frac{\big(\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2+2\text{E}\big)\text{ab}}{2\text{mg}\cos\theta}$ View full question & answer→Question 35 Marks
What are the values of the self-induced emf in the circuit of the previous problem at the times indicated therein?
Answer
- For first case at $\text{t}=100 \ \text{ms}$
$\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=0.27$
Induced emf $=\text{L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=1\times0.27=0.27 \ \text{V }$

- For the third case at $\text{t}=1 \text{s}$
$\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=4.1\times10^{-9}\text{V}$
Induced emf $=\text{L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=4.1\times10^{-9}\text{V}$ View full question & answer→Question 45 Marks

The magnetic field in a region is given by $\vec{\text{B}}=\vec{\text{k}}\frac{\text{B}_0}{\text{L}}\text{y}$ where L is a fixed length. A conductihg rod of of length lies along the Y-axis between the origin and the point (0, L, 0). If the rod moves with a velocity $\text{v}=\text{v}_0\vec{\text{i}},$ find the emf induced between the ends of the rod.
Answer
$\vec{\text{B}}=\frac{\text{B}_0}{\text{L}}\text{y}\hat{\text{k}}$
L = Length of rod on y-axis
$\text{V}=\text{V}_{0}\hat{\text{i}}$
Considering a small length by of the rod
$\text{dE}=\text{B V}\text{dy}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dE}=\frac{\text{B}_0}{\text{L}}\text{y}\times\text{V}_0\times\text{dy}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dE}=\frac{\text{B}_0\text{V}_0}{\text{L}}\text{ydy}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}=\frac{\text{B}_0\text{V}_0}{\text{L}}\int\limits_0^\text{L}\text{ydy}$
$=\frac{\text{B}_0\text{V}_0}{\text{L}}\Big[\frac{\text{y}^2}{2}\Big]^\text{L}_0=\frac{\text{B}_0\text{V}_0}{\text{L}}\frac{\text{L}^2}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\text{B}_0\text{V}_0\text{L}$ View full question & answer→Question 65 Marks
A coil of resistance $40\Omega$ is connected across a 4.0V battery 0.10s after the battery is connected, the current in the coil is 63mA. Find the inductance of the coil.
Answer$\text{R} = 40\ \Omega, \ \text{E}=4\text{V}, \ \text{t}=0.1, \ \text{i}=63\text {mA}$${\text{i}}=\text{i}_0-\ \Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{\text{tR}}{\text{2}}\Big) $
$\Rightarrow \ 63\ \times10^{-3}=\frac{4}{40}\ \Big(1-\text{e}^{0.1\times\ \frac{40}{\text{L}}}\Big) $
$\Rightarrow\ 63\ \times\ 10^{-3}\ =10^{-1}\Big(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-4}{\text{L}}}\Big) $
$\Rightarrow\ 63\ \times\ 10^{-2}=\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{-4}{\text{L}}\Big) $
$\Rightarrow\ 1\ -0.63=\text{e}^{\frac{-4}{\text{L}}}\Rightarrow\text{e}^\frac{-4}{\text{L}}=0.37 $
$\Rightarrow\frac{-4}{\text{L}}=\text{In}(0.37)=-0.994 $

Answer
$\text{L}=5.0\text{H}, \ \text{R}=100\Omega, \ \text{emf}=2.0\text{v}$
$\text{t}=20\text{ms}=20\times10^{-3}\text{s}=2\times10^{-2}\text{s }$

Figure shows a straight, long wire carrying a current i and a rod of length l coplanar with the wire and perpendicular to it. The rod moves with a constant velocity v in a direction parallel to the wire. The distance of the wire from the centre of the rod is x. Find motional emf induced in the rod.

AnswerIn this case $\vec{\text{B}}$ varies Hence considering a small element at centre of rod of length dx at a dist x from the wire.$\vec{\text{B}}=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{X}}$
so, $\text{de}=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{x}}\times\text{vxdx}$$\text{e}=\int\limits^\text{e}_0\text{de}=\frac{\mu_0\text{iv}}{2\pi}=\int\limits^{\text{x}+\frac{\text{t}}{2}}_{\text{x}-\frac{\text{t}}{2}}\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}$

Answer
The 2 resistances $\frac{\text{r}}{4}$ and $\frac{3\text{r}}{4}$ are in parallel.
$\text{R}'=\frac{\frac{\text{r}}{4}\times\frac{3\text{r}}{4}}{\text{r}}=\frac{3\text{r}}{16} $

$=\text{B}\times\frac{\text{a}}{2}\omega\times\text{a}=\frac{\text{B}\text{a}^2\omega}{2}$
$\text{i}=\frac{\text{e}}{\text{R}'}=\frac{\text{B}\text{a}^2\omega}{2\text{R}'}=\frac{\text{B}\text{a}^2\omega}{2\times\frac{3\text{r}}{16}}$

Consider the circuit shown in figure:
- Find the current through the battery a long time after the switch S is closed.
- Suppose the switch is again opened at $t = 0$. What is the time constant of the discharging circuit?
- Find the current through the inductor after one time constant.

Answer
- Because the switch is closed, the battery gets connected across the L‒R circuit. The current in the L‒R circuit after t seconds after connecting the battery is given by
$\text{i}=\text{i}_0\Big(\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{t}}{\tau}}\Big)$
$i_0$ = Steady state current
$\tau=$ Time constant $=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}}$
After a long time, $\text{t}\rightarrow\infty$
Now,
Current in the inductor, $i = i_0 (1 - e^0) = 0$
Thus, the effect of inductance vanishes.
$\text{i}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{R}_{\text{net}}}$
$=\frac{\in}{\frac{\text{R}_1\times\text{R}_2}{\text{R}_1+\text{R}_2}}=\frac{\in\big(\text{R}_1+\text{R}_2\big)}{\text{R}_1\text{R}_2}$
- When the switch is opened the resistors are in series.
The time constant is given by
$\tau=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}_\text{net}}=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}_1+\text{R}_2}.$
- The inductor will discharge through resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$.
The current through the inductor after one time constant is given by
$\text{t}=\tau$
$\therefore$ Current, $\text{i}=\text{i}_0\Big(\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{t}}{\tau}}\Big)$
Here,
$\text{i}_0=\frac{\in}{\text{R}_1+{\text{R}_2}}$
$\therefore \ \text{i}=\frac{\in}{\text{R}_1+{\text{R}_2}}\times\frac{1}{\text{e}}$ View full question & answer→Question 135 Marks
A wire ab of length l, mass m and resistance R slides on a smooth, thick pair of metallic rails joined at the bottom as shown in figure. The plane of the rails makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A vertical magnetic field B exists in the region. If the wire slides on the rails at a constant speed v, show that$\text{B}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{mgR}\sin\theta}{\text{vl}^2\cos^2\theta}}$

Answer
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{Blv}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\text{B}\times\text{l}\cos\theta\times\text{v}\cos\theta}{\text{R}}$
$=\frac{\text{Blv}}{\text{R}}\cos^2\theta$
$\text{F}=\text{ilB}=\frac{\text{Blv}\cos^2\theta\times\text{lB}}{\text{R}}$
Now, $\text{F}=\text{mg} \ \sin\theta$ [Force due to gravity which pulls downwards] Now, $\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}\cos^2\theta}{\text{R}}=\text{mg} \ \sin\theta$$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Rmg}\sin\theta}{\text{vl}^2\cos^2\theta}}$ View full question & answer→Question 145 Marks
The system containing the rails and the wire of the previous problem is kept vertically in a uniform horizontal magnetic field B that is perpendicular to the plane of the rails (figure). It is found that the wire stays in equilibrium. If the wire ab is replaced by another wire of double its mass, how long will it take in falling through a distance equal to its length?

Answer
Given Blv = mg …(1) When wire is replaced we have 2mg - Blv = 2ma [where a → acceleration]$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{2\text{mg}-\text{Blv}}{2\text{m}}$
Now, $\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^2$$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2\text{mg}-\text{Blv}}{2\text{m}}\times\text{t}^2 \ \big[\therefore \ \text{s}=\text{l}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{t}=\sqrt{\frac{4\text{ml}}{2\text{mg}-\text{Blv}}}=\sqrt{\frac{4\text{ml}}{2\text{mg}-\text{mg}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{l}}{\text{g}}}$ [from (1)] View full question & answer→Question 155 Marks
Figure shows a square loop of side 5cm being moved towards right at a constant speed of 1cm/s. The front edge enters the 20cm wide magnetic field at t = 0. Find the emf induced in the loop at:
- t = 2s
- t = 10s
- t = 22s
- t = 30s.

Answeru = 1cm/', B = 0.6T
- At t = 2sec, distance moved = 2 × 1cm/s = 2cm
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\frac{0.6\times(2\times5- 0)\times10^{-4}}{2}=3\times10^{-4}\text{V}$
- At t = 10sec
distance moved = 10 × 1 = 10cm
The flux linked does not change with time
$\therefore$ E = 0
- At t = 22sec
distance = 22 × 1 = 22cm
The loop is moving out of the field and 2cm outside.
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\text{B}\times\frac{\text{dA}}{\text{dt}}$
$=\frac{0.6\times(2\times5\times10^{-4})}{2}=3\times10^{-4}\text{V}$
- At t = 30sec
The loop is total outside and flux linked = 0
$\therefore$ E = 0. View full question & answer→Question 165 Marks

- When the switch is thrown to the middle rail
$\text{E}=\text{Bvl}$

- The switch is thrown to the lower rail
$\text{E}=\text{Bvl}$
$=1\times5\times10^{-2}\times2\times10^{-2}=20\times10^{-4}$

Find the total heat produced in the loop of the previous problem during the interval $0$ to $30s$ if the resistance of the loop is $4.5\text{m}\Omega.$
AnswerAs heat produced is a scalar prop. So, net heat produced = $H_a + H_b + H_c + H_d$$\text{R}=4.5\text{m}\Omega=4.5\times10^{-3}\Omega$
$\text{e}=3\times10^{-4}\text{V}$
$\text{i}=\frac{\text{e}}{\text{R}}=\frac{3\times10^{-4}}{4.5\times10^{-3}}=6.7\times10^{-2}\text{Amp}$
$\text{H}_{\text{a}}=(6.7\times10^{-2})^2\times4.5\times10^{-3}\times5$
$\text{H}_{\text{b}}=\text{H}_{\text{d}}=0$ [since emf is induced for 5sec]
$\text{H}_{\text{c}}=(6.7\times10^{-2})^2\times4.5\times10^{-3}\times5$

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:
- In the loop abc.
- In the segment bc.
- In the segment ac.
- In the segment ab.

Answer
- 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.
- e = Bv × l
= Bv(bc) + ve at C
- e = 0 as the velocity is not perpendicular to the length.
- e = Bv(bc) positive at ‘a’.
i.e. the component of ‘ab’ along the perpendicular direction.

Solenoid I:$\text{a}_1=4\text{cm}^2; \ \text{n}_1=\frac{4000}{0.2}\text{m}; \ \text{l}_1=20\text{cm}=0.20\text{m}$
Solenoid II:$\text{a}_1=8\text{cm}^2; \ \text{n}_2=\frac{2000}{0.1}\text{m}; \ \text{l}_2=10\text{cm}=0.10\text{m}$
$\text{B}=\mu_0\text{n}_2\text{i}$ let the current through outer solenoid be i.
$\phi=\text{n}_1\text{B.A}=\text{n}_1\text{n}_2\mu_0\text{i}\times\text{a}_1$
$=2000\times\frac{2000}{0.1}\times4\pi\times10^{-7}\times\text{i}\times4\times10^{-4}$
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=64\pi\times10^{-4}\times\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Big[\text{As E}=\frac{\text{mdi}}{\text{dt}}\Big]$
Now $\text{M}=\frac{\text{E}}{\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}}=64\pi\times10^{-4}\text{H}=2\times10^{-2}\text{H}.$ View full question & answer→Question 265 Marks
A wire of mass m and length l can slide freely on a pair of smooth, vertical rails (figure). A magnetic field B exists in the region in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the rails. The rails are connected at the top end by a capacitor of capacitance C. Find the acceleration of the wire neglecting any electric resistance.

Answer
Let the rod has a velocity v at any instant,
Then, at the point,
e = Blv
Now, q = c × potential = ce = CBlv
Current $\text{l}=\frac{\text{dq}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}\text{CBlv}$
$\text{CBl}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=\text{CBla}$ (where a → acceleration)
From figure, force due to magnetic field and gravity are opposite to each other.
So, mg – IlB = ma
$\Rightarrow\text{mg}-\text{CBla}\times\text{lB}=\text{ma}$
$\Rightarrow\text{ma}+\text{CB}^2\text{l}^2\text{a}=\text{mg}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}\big(\text{m}+\text{CB}^2\text{l}^2\big)=\text{mg}$
$\Rightarrow \text{a}=\frac{\text{mg}}{\text{m}+\text{CB}^2\text{l}^2}$ View full question & answer→Question 275 Marks
Figure shows a metallic wire of resistance $0.20\Omega$ sliding on a horizontal, U-shaped metallic rail. The separation between the parallel arms is $20cm$. An electric current of $2.0\mu\text{A}$ passes through the wire when it is slid at a rate of $20cms^{-1}$. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is $3.0 \times 10^{-5} T$, calculate the dip at the place.

Answer$\text{l}=20\text{cm}=20\times10^{-2}\text{m}$$\text{v}=20\text{cm}/\text{s}=20\times10^{-2}\text{m}/\text{s}$
$\text{B}_{\text{H}}=3\times10^{-5}\text{T}$
$\text{i}=2\mu\text{A}=2\times10^{-5}\text{A}$
$\text{R}=0.2\Omega$
$\text{i}=\frac{\text{B}_\text{v}\text{lv}}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}_{\text{v}}=\frac{\text{iR}}{\text{lv}}=\frac{2\times10^{-6}\times2\times10^{-1}}{20\times10^{-2}\times20\times10^{-2}}=1\times10^{-5} \ \text{Tesla}$
$\tan\delta=\frac{\text{B}_\text{v}}{\text{B}_\text{H}}=\frac{1\times10^{-5}}{3\times10^{-5}}=\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow\delta(\text{dip})=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)$

A constant current exists in an inductor-coil connected to a battery. The coil is short-circuited and the battery is removed. Show that the charge flown through the coil after the short-circuiting is the same as that which flows in one time constant before the short-circuiting.
Answer
In this case there is no resistor in the circuit.
So, the energy stored due to the inductor before and after removal of battery remains same. i.e.
$\text{V}_1=\text{V}_2=\frac{1}{2}\text{Li}^2$
So, the current will also remain same.
Thus charge flowing through the conductor is the same. View full question & answer→Question 305 Marks
Find the mutual inductance between the straight wire and the square loop of figure.

Answer
We know,
$\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\text{E}=\text{M}\times\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
From the question,
$\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}(\text{i}_0\sin\omega\text{t})=\text{i}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}$
$\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\text{E}\frac{\mu_0\text{ai}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}}{2\pi}\text{ln}\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big]$
Now, $\text{E}=\text{M}\times\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
$\frac{\mu_0\text{ai}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}}{2\pi}\text{ln}\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big]=\text{M}\times\text{i}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}$

- In which intervals is the emf not constant? Neglect the behaviour near the ends of 10ms intervals.

Answer
- $\phi_2=\text{B}.\text{A}=0.01\times2\times10^{-3}=2\times10^{-5}$
$\phi_1=0$
$\text{e}=-\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\frac{-2\times10^{-5}}{10\times10^{-3}}=-2\text{mV}$
$\phi_3=\text{B}.\text{A}=0.03\times2\times10^{-3}=6\times10^{-5}$
$\text{d}\phi=4\times10^{-5}$
$\text{e}=-\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=-4\text{mV}$
$\phi_4=\text{B}.\text{A}=0.01\times2\times10^{-3}=2\times10^{-5}$
$\text{d}\phi=-4\times10^{-5}$
$\text{e}=-\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=4\text{mV}$
$\phi_5=\text{B}.\text{A}=0$
$\text{d}\phi=-2\times10^{-5}$
$\text{e}=-\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=2\text{mV}$

A coil having an inductance L and a resistance R is connected to a battery of emf $\in.$ Find the time taken for the magnetic energy stored in the circuit to change from one fourth of the steady-state value to half of the steady-state value.
AnswerMaximum current $=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{R}}$ In steady state magnetic field energy stored $=\frac{1}{2}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}$ The fourth of steady state energy $=\frac{1}{8}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}$ One half of steady energy $=\frac{1}{4}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}$$\frac{1}{8}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}=\frac{1}{2}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}\Big(1-\text{e}\frac{\text{-t}_1\text{R}}{\text{L}}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow1-\text{e} \ \frac{\text{t}_1\text{R}}{\text{L}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{e}\frac{\text{t}_1\text{R}}{\text{L}}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow\text{t}_1\frac{\text{R}}{\text{L}}=\text{ln}2\Rightarrow\text{t}_1=\tau\text{ln}2$
Again $\frac{1}{4}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}=\frac{1}{2}\text{L}\frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}\Big(1-\text{e}\frac{\text{-t}_2\text{R}}{\text{L}}\Big)^2$$\Rightarrow\text{e}\frac{\text{t}_2\text{R}}{\text{L}}=\frac{\sqrt2-1}{\sqrt2}=\frac{2-\sqrt2}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{t}_2=\tau\Bigg[\text{ln}\Big(\frac{1}{2-\sqrt2} \Big)+\text{ln2}\Bigg]$
So, $\text{t}_2-\text{t}_1=\tau\text{ln}\frac{1}{2-\sqrt2}$

- Find the magnitude of the electric field E at a point on the circumference of the circle.
- Consider a point P on the side of the square circumscribing the circle. Show that the component of the induced electric field at P along ba is the same as the magnitude found in part (a).

Answer
- Work done per unit test charge
$=\phi\text{E}.\text{dl}$ (E = electric field)
$\phi\text{E}.\text{dl}=\text{e}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ \phi\ \text{dl}=\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ 2\pi\text{r}=\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}\times\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ 2\pi\text{r}=\pi\text{r}^2\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ =\frac{\pi\text{r}^2}{2\pi}\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{r}}{2}\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}$
- When the square is considered
$\phi\text{E}\ \text{dl}\ =\text{e}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ \times\ 2\text{r}\ \times\ 4=\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}\big(2\text{r}\big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ =\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}\frac{4\text{r}^2}{8\text{r}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}\ =\frac{\text{r}}{2}\frac{\text{dB}}{\text{dt}}$

An LR circuit has L = 1.0H and $\text{R}=20\Omega.$ It is connected across an emf of 2.0V at t = 0. Find $\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$ at:
- t = 100ms
- t = 200ms
- t = 1.0s
Answer$\text{L}=1.0 \text{H}, \ \text{R}=20 \Omega, \ \text{emf}=2.0\text{V }$$\tau=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}}=\frac{1}{20}=0.05 $
$\text{i}_0=\frac{\text{e}}{\text{R}}=\frac{2}{20}=0.1\text{A} $
$\text{i}=\text{i}_0(1-\text{e}^{-\text{t}})=\text{i}_0-\text{i}_0\text{e}^{-\text{t}} $
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{di}_0}{\text{dt}}\Big(\text{i}_0\times-\frac{1}{\tau}\times\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\tau}\Big)=\frac{\text{i}_0}{\tau}\text{e}^\frac{-\text{e}}{\tau }$
So,
- $\text{t}=100\text{ms}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{0.1}{0.05}\times\text{e}^\frac{-0.1}{0.0.05}=0.27 \text{A}$
- $\text{t}=200\text{ms}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{0.1}{0.05}\times\text{e}^\frac{-0.2}{0.05}=0.0366 \text{A }$
- $\text{t}=1\text{s}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{0.1}{0.05}\times\text{e}^\frac{-1}{0.05}=4\times10^{-9}\text{A }$

Find the value of $\frac{\text{t}}{\tau}$ for which the current in an LR circuit builds up to:
- 90%,
- 99%
- 99·9% of the steady-state value.
AnswerWe know $\text{i}=\text{i}_0\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}\Big)$
- $\frac{90}{100}\text{i}_0=\text{i}_0\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}\big)$
$\Rightarrow0.9=1-\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}=0.1$
Taking in from both sides
$\text{ln}\ \text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}=\text{ln}\ 0.1 $
$\Rightarrow-\text{t}=-2.3$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{t}}{\text{r}}=2.3$
- $\frac{99}{100}\text{i}_0=\text{i}_0\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{e}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}=0.01$
$\text{lne}^\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}=\text{ln}\ 0.01$
$\frac{-\text{t}}{\text{r}}=-4.6$
$\frac{\text{t}}{\text{r}}=4.6$

- The time constant.
- The time elapsed before the current reaches 0.63 of its steady-state value.

- The power dissipated in Joule heating at this instant.
Answer$\text{L}=4.0\text{H}, \ \text{R}=10\Omega, \ \text{E}=4\text{V}$
- Time constant $=\tau=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}}=\frac{4}{10}=0.4\text{ s}.$

The rectangular wire-frame, shown in figure, has a width d, mass m, resistance R and a large length. A uniform magnetic field B exists to the left of the frame. A constant force F starts pushing the frame into the magnetic field at $t = 0$.
- Find the acceleration of the frame when its speed has increased to v.
- Show that after some time the frame will move with a constant velocity till the whole frame enters into the magnetic field. Find this velocity $v_0$.
- Show that the velocity at time t is given by $\text{v}=\text{v}_0\Big(1-\text{e}^{-\frac{\text{ft}}{\text{mv}_0}}\Big)$

Answer
- emf developed = Bdv (when it attains a speed v)
Current $=\frac{\text{Bdv}}{\text{R}}$
Force $=\frac{\text{B}\text{d}^2\text{v}^2}{\text{R}}$
This force opposes the given force
Net F $=\text{F}-\frac{\text{B}\text{d}^2\text{v}^2}{\text{R}}=\text{RF}-\frac{\text{B}\text{d}^2\text{v}^2}{\text{R}}$
Net acceleration $=\frac{\text{RF}-\text{B}^2\text{d}^2\text{v}}{\text{mR}}$
- Velocity becomes constant when acceleration is 0.
$\frac{\text{F}}{\text{m}}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{d}^2\text{v}_0}{\text{mR}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{F}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{B}^2\text{d}^2\text{v}_0}{\text{mR}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}_0=\frac{\text{FR}}{\text{B}^2\text{d}^2}$
- Velocity at line t
$\text{a}=-\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow\int_{0}^{\text{v}}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{RF}-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}}=\int_{0}^{\text{t}}\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{mR}}$
$\Rightarrow\Big[\text{l}_\text{n}\big[\text{RF}-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}\big]\frac{1}{-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2}\Big]_0^{\text{v}} \ \Big[\frac{\text{t}}{\text{Rm}}\Big]_0^{\text{t}} $
$\Rightarrow\Big[\text{l}_\text{n}\big(\text{RF}-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}\big)\Big]_{0}^{\text{v}}=\frac{-\text{tl}^2\text{B}^2}{\text{Rm}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}_\text{n}\big(\text{RF}-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}\big)-\text{ln}(\text{RF})=\frac{-\text{t}^2\text{B}^2\text{t}}{\text{Rm}}$
$\Rightarrow1-\frac{\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}}{\text{Rf}}=\text{e}^{\frac {-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{t}}{\text{Rm}}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}}{\text{Rf}}=1-\text{e}^{\frac {-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{t}}{\text{Rm}}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{\text{FR}}{\text{l}^2\text{B}^2}\Big(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}_0\text{t}}{\text{Rv}_0\text{m}}}\Big)=\text{v}_0(1-\text{e}^{-\text{Fv}_0\text{m}})$ View full question & answer→Question 565 Marks
Figure shows a square frame of wire having a total resistance r placed coplanarly with a long, straight wire. The wire carries a current i given by $\text{i}=\text{i}_0\sin\omega\text{t}.$ Find
- The flux of the magnetic field through the square frame.
- The emf induced in the frame.
- The heat developed in the frame in the time interval 0 to $\frac{20\pi}{\omega}.$

Answer
Considering an element dx at a dist x from the wire. We have
- $\phi=\text{B.A.}$
$\text{d}\phi=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}\times\text{adx}}{2\pi\text{x}}$
$\phi=\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{d}\phi=\frac{\mu_0\text{ia}}{2\pi}\int\limits^{\text{a}+\text{b}}_\text{b}\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}=\frac{\mu_0\text{ia}}{2\pi}\text{In}\left\{1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\right\}$
- $\text{e}=\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}\frac{\mu_0\text{ia}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big]$
$=\frac{\mu_0\text{a}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{n}}\Big]\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}(\text{i}_0\sin\omega\text{t})$
$=\frac{\mu_0\text{ai}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big]$
- $\text{i}=\frac{\text{e}}{\text{r}}=\frac{\mu_0\text{ai}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}}{2\pi\text{r}}\text{In}\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big]$
$\text{H}=\text{i}^2\text{rt}$
$=\Big[\frac{\mu\text{ai}_0\omega\cos\omega\text{t}}{2\pi\text{r}}\text{In}\Big(1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big)\Big]^2\times\text{r}\times\text{t}$
$=\frac{\mu_0^2\times\text{a}^2\times\text{i}^2_0\times\omega^2}{4\pi\times\text{r}^2}\text{In}^2\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big]\times\text{r}\times\text{}\frac{20\pi}{\omega}$
$=\frac{5\mu_0^2\text{a}^2\text{i}^2_0\times\omega}{2\pi\text{r}}\text{In}^2\Big[1+\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big] \ \Big[\therefore\text{t}=\frac{20\pi}{\omega}\Big]$ View full question & answer→Question 575 Marks
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.

Answer
Using Faraday’' law Consider a unit length dx at a distance x$\text{B}=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{x}}$
Area of strip $=\text{b} \ \text{dx}$$\text{d}\phi=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\phi=\int\limits^{\text{a}+1}_\text{a}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{x}}\text{bdx}$
$=\frac{\mu_o\text{i}}{2\pi}\text{b}\int\limits^{\text{a}+1}_\text{a}\Big(\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}\Big)=\frac{\mu_0\text{ib}}{2\pi}\log\Big(\frac{\text{a}+\text{l}}{\text{a}}\Big)$
$\text{Emf}=\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\text{dt}\Big[\frac{\mu_0\text{ib}}{2\pi}\text{log}\Big(\frac{\text{a}+\text{l}}{\text{a}}\Big)\Big]$
$=\frac{\mu_0\text{ib}}{2\pi}\frac{\text{a}}{\text{a}+\text{l}}\Big(\frac{\text{va}-(\text{a}+\text{l})\text{v}}{\text{a}^2}\Big)$ $\Big($ Where $\frac{\text{da}}{\text{dt}}=\text{V}\Big)$
$=\frac{\mu_0\text{ib}}{2\pi}\frac{\text{a}}{\text{a}+\text{l}}\frac{\text{vl}}{\text{a}^2}=\frac{\mu_0\text{ibvl}}{2\pi(\text{a}+\text{l})\text{a}}$
The velocity of AB and CD creates the emf. since the emf due to AD and BC are equal and opposite to each other.
$\text{B}_{\text{AB}}=\frac{\mu_o\text{i}}{2\pi\text{a}} \ \Rightarrow \ \text{E.m.f.} \ \text{AB}=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{a}}\text{bv}$
Length b, velocity v.$\text{B}_{\text{CD}}=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi(\text{a}+\text{l})}$
$\Rightarrow \text{E.m.f.} \ \text{CD}=\frac{\mu_0\text{ibv}}{2\pi(\text{a}+\text{l})}$
Length b, velocity v.Net emf $=\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{a}}\text{bv}-\frac{\mu_0\text{ibv}}{2\pi\text{a}(\text{a}+\text{l})}=\frac{\mu_0\text{ibvl}}{2\pi\text{a}(\text{a}+\text{l})}$ View full question & answer→Question 585 Marks
Consider the situation shown in figure. The wire PQ has mass m, resistance r and can slide on the smooth, horizontal parallel rails separated by a distance l. The resistance of the rails is negligible. A uniform magnetic field B exists in the rectangular region and a resistance R connects the rails outside the field region. At $t = 0$, the wire PQ is pushed towards right with a speed $v_0$. Find
- The current in the loop at an instant when the speed of the wire PQ is v.
- The acceleration of the wire at this instant.
- The velocity vas a functions of x.
- The maximum distance the wire will move.

Answer
- When the speed is V
Emf = Blv
Resistance = r + r
Current $=\frac{\text{Blv}}{\text{r}+\text{R}}$
- Force acting on the wire =ilB
$=\frac{\text{BlvlB}}{\text{r}+\text{R}}=\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{r}+\text{R}}$
Acceleration on the wire $=\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{m}(\text{r}+\text{R})}$
- $\text{v}=\text{v}_0+\text{at}=\text{v}_0 -\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{m}(\text{r}+\text{R})}\text{t}$ [force is opposite to velocity]
$=\text{v}_0 -\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{x}}{\text{m}(\text{r}+\text{R})}$
- $\text{a}=\text{v}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{x}}{\text{m}(\text{r}+\text{R})}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dx}=\frac{\text{dvm}(\text{R}+\text{r})}{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{m}(\text{R}+\text{r})\text{v}_0}{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}$ View full question & answer→Question 595 Marks
A conducting wire ab of length l, resistance r and mass m starts sliding at $t = 0$ down a smooth, vertical, thick pair of connected rails as shown in figure. A uniform magnetic field B exists in the space in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the rails.
- Write the induced emf in the loop at an instant t when the speed of the wire is v.
- What would be the magnitude and direction of the induced current in the wire?
- Find the downward acceleration of the wire at this instant.
- After sufficient time, the wire starts moving with a constant velocity. Find this velocity $v_m$.
- Find the velocity of the wire as a function of time.
- Find the displacement of the wire as a function of time.
- Show that the rate of heat developed in the wire is equal to the rate at which the gravitational potential energy is decreased after steady state is reached.

Answer
- When the speed of wire is V
emf developed = BlV
- Induced current is the wire $=\frac{\text{Blv}}{\text{R}}$ (from b to a)
- Down ward acceleration of the wire
$=\frac{\text{mg}-\text{F}}{\text{m}}$ due to the current
$=\text{mg}-\text{il}\frac{\text{B}}{\text{m}}=\text{g}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{V}}{\text{Rm}}$
- Let the wire start moving with constant velocity. Then acceleration = 0
$\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{V}}{\text{Rm}}\text{m}=\text{g}$
$\Rightarrow\text{V}_\text{m}=\frac{\text{gRm}}{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}$
- $\frac{\text{dV}}{\text{dt}}=\text{a}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dV}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{mg}-\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\frac{\text{v}}{\text{R}}}{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\frac{\text{mg}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\frac{\text{v}}{\text{R}}}{\text{R}}}{\text{m}}}=\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\int\limits_{0}^{\text{v}}\frac{\text{mdv}}{\text{mg}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{R}}}=\int\limits_{0}^{\text{t}}\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{m}}{\frac{-\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}{\text{R}}}\Big(\log\text{mg}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{R}}\Big)_{0}^{\text{v}}=\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-\text{mR}}{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}=\log\Big[\log\Big(\text{mg}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{R}}\Big)-\log(\text{mg})\Big]=\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow\log\Bigg[\frac{\text{mg}-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{R}}}{\text{mg}}\Bigg]=\frac{-\text{tB}^2\text{l}^2}{\text{mR}}$
$\Rightarrow\log\Big[1-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{Rmg}}\Big]=\frac{-\text{tB}^2\text{l}^2}{\text{mR}}$
$\Rightarrow1-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{Rmg}}=\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{t}\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}{\text{mR}}}$
$\Rightarrow\bigg(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}{\text{mR}}}\bigg)=\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{\text{Rmg}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{\text{Rmg}}{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}\Big(1-\text{e}^{-\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}{\text{mR}}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\text{v}_{\text{m}}\Big(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{gt}}{\text{vm}}}\Big) \ \Big[\text{v}_\text{m}=\frac{\text{Rmg}}{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2}\Big]$
- $\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=\text{v}\Rightarrow\text{ds}=\text{v} \ \text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\text{s}=\text{vm}\int\limits_0^\text{t}\Big(1-\text{e}^{\frac{-\text{gt}}{\text{vm}}}\Big)\text{dt}$
$=\text{V}_\text{m}\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\text{V}_\text{m}}{\text{g}}\text{e}^\frac{\text{-gt}}{\text{vm}}\Big)=\Big(\text{V}_\text{m}\text{t}+\frac{\text{V}^2_\text{m}}{\text{g}}\text{e}^\frac{\text{-gt}}{\text{vm}}\Big)-\frac{\text{V}^2_\text{m}}{\text{g}}$
$=\text{V}_\text{m}\text{t}-\frac{\text{V}^2_\text{m}}{\text{g}}\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{\text{-gt}}{\text{vm}}\Big)$
- $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}=\text{mgs}=\text{mg}\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dt}}=\text{mgV}_\text{m}\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{\text{-gt}}{\text{vm}}\Big)$
$\frac{\text{d}_\text{H}}{\text{dt}}=\text{i}^2\text{R}=\text{R}\Big(\frac{\text{LBV}}{\text{R}}\Big)^2=\frac{\text{L}^2\text{B}^2\text{V}^2}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{L}^2\text{B}^2}{\text{R}}\text{V}^2_\text{m}\Big(1-\text{e}^\frac{\text{-gt}}{\text{vm}}\Big)^2$
After steady state i.e. $\text{T}\rightarrow\infty$
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}\text{mgs}=\text{mgV}_\text{m}$
$\frac{\text{dH}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{L}^2\text{B}^2}{\text{R}}\text{V}^2_\text{m}=\frac{\text{L}^2\text{B}^2}{\text{R}}\text{V}_\text{m}\frac{\text{mgR}}{\text{L}^2\text{B}^2}=\text{mgV}_\text{m}$
