Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The problem involves a conducting circular loop placed in a uniform magnetic field with its plane perpendicular to the field. The radius of the loop is expanding at a constant rate, and we are asked to find the magnitude of the induced emf in the loop at an instant when the radius of the loop is 2 cm2 \mathrm{~cm} .

The magnetic flux through a circular loop of radius rr and area A=πr2A = \pi r^2 placed in a uniform magnetic field BB perpendicular to the plane of the loop is given by:

ΦB=BA=Bπr2\Phi_B = B A = B \pi r^2

The induced emf in the loop is given by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction:

E=−dΦBdt\mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}

In this case, the radius of the loop is expanding at a constant rate of 10−3 m/s10^{-3} \mathrm{~m/s} , which means that the rate of change of the area of the loop is:

dAdt=ddt(πr2)=2πrdrdt=2π(0.02 m)(10−3 m/s)=4×10−5 m2/s\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (\pi r^2) = 2 \pi r \frac{dr}{dt} = 2 \pi (0.02 \mathrm{~m}) (10^{-3} \mathrm{~m/s}) = 4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m^2/s}

The magnetic flux through the loop is changing at this rate, and the induced emf in the loop is given by:

E=∣dΦBdt∣=∣dBdtdAdt∣=∣BdAdt∣=∣0.4 T×4×10−5 m2/s∣=16πμV\mathcal{E} = \left|\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}\right| = \left|\frac{dB}{dt} \frac{dA}{dt}\right| = \left|B \frac{dA}{dt}\right| = \left|0.4 \mathrm{~T} \times 4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m^2/s}\right| = 16 \pi \mu \mathrm{V}

Therefore, the magnitude of the induced emf in the loop at an instant when the radius of the loop is 2 cm2 \mathrm{~cm} is 50.2450.24 ≃\simeq 50 μV\mu \mathrm{V} .
