Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 450

Question: A conducting disc of conductivity a has a radius ‘a’ and thickness ‘f. If the magnetic field B is applied in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the disc changes with time at the rate of dBdt=α . Calculate the power dissipated in the disc due to the induced current.

Options:

A) πtσa48α2

B) πtσa44α2

C) πtσa42α2

D) 2πtσa43α2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Consider an elemental circle of thickness dr.

The induced emf in the circular path of radius r is

ε=ddt(πr2B)=πr2α

The resistance of circular path is The length of the path being 2πr

and tdr is the cross sectional area of current flow.

For the element the power dissipated inside the path is dP=ε2R=πtσ2α2r3dr

The total dissipated power P is P=πtσ2α20ar3

dr=πtσa48α2
