Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 511
Question: An infinitesimally small bar magnet of dipole moment is pointing and moving with the speed v in the - direction. A small closed circular conducting loop of radius a and negligible self- inductance lies in the y-z plane with its center at x = 0, and its axis coinciding with the x-axis. Find the force opposing the motion of the magnet, if the resistance of the loop is R. Assume that the distance x of the magnet from the center of the loop is much greater than a.
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
-
Flux passing through the coil The induced emf in the coil Current in the coilThe magnetic moment of the loop
Now the potential energy of the loop placed in the magnetic field is
Now,Since by Newton’s third law, action and reaction are equal.
Therefore, the above calculated force is acting on the magnet. The direction of the force is in
direction by Lenz’s law.
