Question: Q. 5. A metallic rod of length $l$ and resistance $R$ is rotated with a frequency $v$, with one end hinged at the centre and the other end at the circumference of a circular metallic ring of radius $l$, about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field $B$ parallel to the axis is present everywhere.
(i) Derive the expression for the induced emf and the current in the rod.
(ii) Due to the presence of the current in the rod and of the magnetic field, find the expression for the magnitude and direction of the force acting on this rod.

Solution:
Ans. (i) In one revolution
Change of area, $\quad d A=\pi l^{2}$
$\therefore$ change of magnetic flux
$$ \begin{align*} d \phi=\vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d A} & =B \cdot d A \cos 0^{\circ} \ & =B \pi l^{2} \end{align*} $$
(a) Induced emf, $\varepsilon=B \pi l^{2} / T=B \pi l^{2} v \quad 1 / 2$
(b) Induced current in the rod, $I=\frac{\varepsilon}{R}=\frac{\pi \nu B l^{2}}{R} \quad 1$
(ii) Force acting on the rod, $F=I l B$
$$ =\frac{\pi v B^{2} l^{3}}{R} $$
The external force required to rotate the rod opposes the Lorentz force acting on the rod/ external force acts in the direction opposite the Lorentz force.
(iii) Power required to rotate the rod
$$ \begin{align*} \text { Power } & =\text { Force } \times \text { velocity } \ P & =F \times v \ P & =\frac{\pi v B^{2} l^{3}}{R} \times v \end{align*} $$

Detailed Answer :
(i) In a revolution, change in Area $=\pi l^{2}$
Given, $\quad$ Magnetic field $=B$
$$ \begin{array}{ll} \because & d \phi=\vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d A} \ \text { or } & d \phi=B \cdot \pi l^{2} \cos 0^{\circ} \ \text { or } & d \phi=B \pi l^{2} \end{array} $$
Now, induced emf
$$ \text { or } \begin{align*} & \varepsilon=\frac{d \phi}{d t} \ & \varepsilon=\frac{B \pi l^{2}}{T} \ & \because \frac{1}{T}=v \ & \varepsilon=B \pi l^{2} v \delta \ & \text { and } \quad \ &=\frac{B \pi l^{2} v}{R} \tag{1}\ & F=I l B \ &=\frac{B \pi l^{2} v}{R} l B \tag{1}\ &=\frac{B^{2} l^{3} \pi v}{R} \end{align*} $$
(ii)
According to law, the external force acts in the directionopposite toe lorentz force.
Power $=$ Force $\times$ velocity
$$ \begin{align*} & =\frac{B^{2} l^{3} \pi v}{R} \times v \ & =\frac{\pi v B^{2} l^{3} v}{R} \tag{2} \end{align*} $$

Eddy Currents, Selfand Mutual Induction and AC Generator
Revision Notes
Eddy Currents
- Current loops inducedin moving conductors are called eddy currents. They can create significant drag, called as magnetic damping.
Eddy currents give rise to magnetic fields that oppose any external change in the magnetic field.
Mathematically,
$$ i=\frac{e}{R} $$
Eddy currents are induced electric currents that flow in a circular path
Eddy currents flowing in a material will generate their own secondary magnetic field that opposes the coil’s primary magnetic field.
Mutual Induction
The production of induced emf in a circuit, when the current in the neighbouring circuit changes is called mutual induction.
When the circuit of the primary coil is closed or opened, deflection is produced in the galvanometer of the secondary coil. This is due to the mutual induction.
$>$ The mutual induction between two coils depends on the following factors :
- The number of turns of primary and secondary coils.
- The shape, size or geometry of the two coils. i.e., the area of cross-section and the length of the coils.
Coefficient of mutual induction :
- Suppose, the instantaneous current in the primary coil is $I$. Let the magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil be $\phi$. It is found that the magnetic flux is proportional to the current. i.e.,
$$ \begin{equation*} \phi \propto I \text { or } \phi=M I \tag{i} \end{equation*} $$
where, $M$ is the constant of proportionality. It is called coefficient of mutual induction.
The induced emf $\varepsilon$ in the secondary coil is given by
$$ \begin{equation*} \varepsilon=-\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-M \frac{d I}{d t} \tag{ii} \end{equation*} $$
The negative sign is in accordance with the Lenz’s law i.e., the induced emf in the secondary coil opposes the variation of current in the primary coil.
From the equation (ii), we find
Therefore,
If $n_{1}, n_{2}$ be the number of turns in primary and secondary coils permit length and $r$ be their radius, then coefficient of mutual inductance is given as
Self-Induction :
The production of induced emf in a circuit, when the current in the same circuit changes is known as selfinduction.
Suppose the instantaneous current in the circuit Is $I$ and if the magnetic flux linked with the solenoid is $\phi$, then it is found that :
$$ \begin{equation*} \phi \propto 1 \text { or } \phi=L I \tag{i} \end{equation*} $$
where, $L$ is the constant of proportionality. It is called coefficient of self-induction.
The induced emf $\varepsilon$ in the coil is given by
$$ \begin{equation*} \varepsilon=-\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-L \frac{d I}{d t} \tag{ii} \end{equation*} $$
The negative sign is in accordance with the Lenz’s law i.e., the induced emf opposes the variation of current in the coil. From the equation (ii), we find :
$$ \begin{equation*} L=\varepsilon /(d I / d t) \tag{iii} \end{equation*} $$
Then, the coefficient of self-induction is the ratio of induced emf in the circuit to the rate of change of the current in the circuit.
Unit of $\mathrm{L}:$ The unit of self-induction is also called henry (symbol H). From equation (ii), we find that if
$$ \begin{aligned} d \mathrm{I} / d t & =1 \mathrm{AS}^{-1} \text { and } \varepsilon=1 \mathrm{~V} \ L & =1 \mathrm{H} \Rightarrow \text { Unit of } H=\mathrm{VA}^{-1} \mathrm{~s} \end{aligned} $$
If a rod of length $l$ moves perpendicular to a magnetic field $B$ with a velocity $v$, then the induced emf produced across it, is given by
In general, we have,
$$ \begin{aligned} & \varepsilon=\overrightarrow{b B l} \ & \varepsilon=\vec{B} \cdot(\vec{v} \times \vec{l}) \end{aligned} $$
If a metallic rod of length $l$ rotates about one of its ends in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the induced emf produced across its ends is given by
$$ \varepsilon=\frac{B \omega l^{2}}{2}=\frac{B 2 \pi f l^{2}}{2}=B A f $$
Here, $\omega=$ angular velocity of rotation, $A=\pi l^{2}=$ area of circle and $f=$ frequency of rotation.
Inductance in the electrical circuit is equivalent to the inertia (mass) in mechanics.
- When a bar magnet is dropped into a coil, the electromagnetic induction in the coil opposes its motion, so the magnet falls with acceleration less than that due to gravity.
The inductance of a coil depends on the following factors :
- area of cross-section,
- number of turns
- permeability of the core.
D Unit of induction, $H=\frac{\mathrm{Wb}}{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{Vs}}{\mathrm{A}}=\Omega$.s
The inductance of a circular coil is given by :
or
$$ \begin{aligned} & L=\frac{\phi}{I}=\frac{B A N}{I}=\frac{\mu}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{(2 \pi N I)}{r I} \times A N \ & L=\frac{\mu N^{2}}{2 r} A=\frac{\mu N^{2}}{2 r} \times \pi r^{2} \ & L=\frac{\mu N^{2} \pi r}{2} \end{aligned} $$
The inductance of a solenoid of length $l$ is given by
or
$$ \begin{aligned} & L=\frac{\phi}{I}=\frac{B A N}{I}=\left(\frac{\mu N I}{l}\right) \frac{A N}{I} \ & {\left[\because B=\frac{\mu N I}{l}\right]} \ & L=\frac{\mu N^{2} A}{l}=\mu n^{2} A l=\mu n^{2} V \ & {\left[\because n=\frac{N}{l}\right]} \end{aligned} $$
$$ \left[\because B=\frac{\mu}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 \pi N I}{r}\right] $$
Here, $n=N / l=$ number of turns per unit length and $V=\mathrm{A} l=$ volume of the sonoid.
If two coils of inductance $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ are coupled together, then their mutual inductance is given by
where, $k$ is called the coupling constant.
$$ M=k \sqrt{L_{1} L_{2}} $$
The value of $k$ lies between 0 and 1 .
For perfectly coupled coils, $k=1$, it means that the magnetic fluxytprimary coil is completely linked with the secondary coil.
Eddy currents do not cause sparking.
If a current $I$ is set up in a coil of inductance $L$, then the magnetic field energy stored in it is given by
AC Generator

- It is based on the principle of mutual induction. It has mainly three components :
- Rotator Coil : It can rotate about an axis on a shaft.
- Stator Coil : It provides magnetic field.
- Commutator : It is pair of slip rings and carbon brushes. It will facilitate flow of current between moving coil and stationary circuit.
Know the Terms

For Mutual Inductor
The inductance in series is given by
Mutual Inductance of two coils is given by
$$ M=\frac{\mu_{0} \mu_{r} N_{P} N_{S} A_{P}}{I_{P}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mu_{r} N_{P} N_{S} A_{S}}{I_{P}} $$
where, $\mu_{0}$ is the permeability of fee space $\left(4 \pi \times 10^{-7}\right)$
