The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation step by step. The charge \( q \) is uniformly distributed along the periphery of a non-conducting circular disc that can rotate about a horizontal axis through its center. A cylindrical region with a varying magnetic field \( B = kt \) is present. We will find the induced electric field and the forces acting on the disc. ### Step 1: Understanding the Magnetic Field The magnetic field is given by \( B = kt \), where \( k \) is a constant and \( t \) is time. This indicates that the magnetic field is increasing linearly with time. **Hint:** Remember that the magnetic field is varying with time, which will lead to an induced electric field. ### Step 2: Calculate the Induced EMF The induced electromotive force (EMF) \( \epsilon \) in a closed loop can be calculated using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction: \[ \epsilon = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} \] where \( \Phi_B \) is the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop. For a circular loop of radius \( R \): \[ \Phi_B = B \cdot A = B \cdot \pi R^2 \] Substituting \( B = kt \): \[ \Phi_B = kt \cdot \pi R^2 \] Now, differentiate this with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} = \pi R^2 k \] Thus, the induced EMF becomes: \[ \epsilon = -\pi R^2 k \] **Hint:** The negative sign indicates the direction of the induced EMF according to Lenz's law, but we will focus on its magnitude for calculating the induced electric field. ### Step 3: Calculate the Induced Electric Field The induced electric field \( E \) around the circular path can be related to the induced EMF: \[ \epsilon = E \cdot 2\pi R \] Substituting for \( \epsilon \): \[ -\pi R^2 k = E \cdot 2\pi R \] Solving for \( E \): \[ E = -\frac{kR}{2} \] **Hint:** The induced electric field is directed in a way to oppose the change in magnetic flux. ### Step 4: Calculate the Force on the Charge The force \( F \) acting on the charge \( q \) due to the induced electric field is given by: \[ F = qE \] Substituting for \( E \): \[ F = q \left(-\frac{kR}{2}\right) = -\frac{qkR}{2} \] **Hint:** The negative sign indicates the direction of the force, which is opposite to the direction of the electric field. ### Step 5: Considering the Weight of the Disc The weight of the disc is given by \( mg \). For the disc to be in equilibrium, the upward force due to the electric field must balance the downward gravitational force: \[ mg = \frac{qkR}{2} \] **Hint:** This equation relates the mass of the disc to the charge and the induced electric field. ### Step 6: Solve for Mass \( m \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ m = \frac{qkR}{2g} \] **Hint:** This equation shows how the mass of the disc is influenced by the charge distribution, the rate of change of the magnetic field, and the gravitational acceleration. ### Final Answer The mass \( m \) of the disc is given by: \[ m = \frac{qkR}{2g} \]
