Electromagnetic Induction - Result Question 23

23. A conducting square frame of side ’ $a$ ’ and a long staight wire carrying current I are located in the same plane as shown in the figure. The frame moves to the right with a constant velocity ’ $V$ ‘. The emf induced in the frame will be proportional to

[2015]

(a) $\frac{1}{(2 x-a)^{2}}$

(b) $\frac{1}{(2 x+a)^{2}}$

(c) $\frac{1}{(2 x-a)(2 x+a)}$

(d) $\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Emf induced in side 1 of frame $e_1=B_1 V \ell$

$ B_1=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi(x-a / 2)} $

Emf induced in side 2 of frame $e_2=B_2 V \ell$

$B_2=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi(x+a / 2)}$

Emf induced in square frame $e=B_1 V \ell-B_2 V \ell$

$ =\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi(x-a / 2)} \ell V-\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi(x+a / 2)} \ell V $

or, e $\propto \frac{1}{(2 x-a)(2 x+a)}$
