The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the induced electromotive force (emf) in a conducting circular loop placed in a uniform magnetic field as the radius of the loop shrinks. We will use Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Magnetic field strength, \( B = 0.04 \, T \) - Radius of the loop when calculating, \( r = 2 \, cm = 2 \times 10^{-2} \, m \) - Rate of change of radius, \( \frac{dr}{dt} = -2 \, mm/s = -2 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s \) (negative because the radius is shrinking) 2. **Calculate the area of the loop:** - The area \( A \) of a circular loop is given by: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] - Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ A = \pi (2 \times 10^{-2})^2 = \pi (4 \times 10^{-4}) = 4\pi \times 10^{-4} \, m^2 \] 3. **Use Faraday's law to find the induced emf:** - The induced emf \( \varepsilon \) is given by: \[ \varepsilon = -B \frac{dA}{dt} \] - We can express \( \frac{dA}{dt} \) in terms of \( r \): \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2) = \pi \cdot 2r \frac{dr}{dt} \] - Substituting \( r = 2 \times 10^{-2} \, m \) and \( \frac{dr}{dt} = -2 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s \): \[ \frac{dA}{dt} = \pi \cdot 2(2 \times 10^{-2}) \cdot (-2 \times 10^{-3}) = -8\pi \times 10^{-5} \, m^2/s \] 4. **Substituting into the emf formula:** - Now substitute \( B \) and \( \frac{dA}{dt} \) into the emf equation: \[ \varepsilon = -B \frac{dA}{dt} = -0.04 \cdot (-8\pi \times 10^{-5}) = 0.04 \cdot 8\pi \times 10^{-5} \] - Calculating this gives: \[ \varepsilon = 3.2 \times 10^{-6} \pi \, V \] 5. **Convert to microvolts:** - Since \( 10^{-6} \) is equivalent to micro, we can express the final answer as: \[ \varepsilon = 3.2 \pi \, \mu V \] ### Final Answer: The induced emf in the loop when the radius is \( 2 \, cm \) is: \[ \varepsilon = 3.2 \pi \, \mu V \]
