Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 515

Question: A nonconducting ring of mass m and radius R has a charge Q uniformly distributed over its circumference. The ring is placed on a rough horizontal surface such that the plane of the ring is parallel to the surface. A vertical magnetic field $ B=B_{0}t^{2} $ tesla is switched on. After 2 second from switching on the magnetic field the ring is just about to rotate about vertical axis through its centre. Then

Options:

A) the induced electric field is quadratic in time t

B) the force tangential to the ring is $ 9B_{0}QRt $

C) until 2 seconds, the friction force does not come into play

D) the friction coefficient between the ring and the surface is $ \frac{2B_{0}RQ}{mg} $ .

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Magnitude of induced electric field due to change in magnetic flux is given by

    $ \oint{\overset{\to }{\mathop{E}},}.d\overset{\to }{\mathop{\ell }},=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=A\frac{dB}{dt} $ $ (\because N=1,and,\cos ,\theta =1) $

    or $ E.\ell =\pi R^{2}(2B_{0}t) $ $ ( \frac{dB}{dt}=2B_{0}t ) $

    Here, E = induced electric field due to change in magnetic flux

    $ E(2\pi R)=2\pi R^{2}B_{0}t $ or $ E=B_{0}Rt $

    Hence, $ F=QE=B_{0}QRt $ This force is tangential to ring.

    Ring starts rotating when torque of this force is greater than the torque due to maximum friction $ ({f_{\max }}=\mu mg) $ or when $ {\tau_{F}}\ge {\tau_{{f_{\max }}}} $

    Taking the limiting case, $ {\tau_{F}}={\tau_{{f_{\max }}}} $

    or $ F.R=(\mu mg)R $

    It is given that ring starts rotating after 2 seconds So, putting t=2 seconds,

    we get $ \mu =\frac{2B_{0}RQ}{mg} $
