Q 11. Let us assume that the loop in question number 4 is stationary or constant but the current source which is feeding the electromagnet which is producing the magnetic field is slowly decreased. It was having an initial value of 0.3 T and the rate of reducing the field is 0.02 T / sec. If the cut is joined to form the loop having a resistance of . Calculate how much power is lost in the form of heat? What is the source of this power?


 

The sides of the rectangular loop are 8 cm and 2 cm.
Hence, the area of the rectangular wire loop,
A= length × width =8×2=16cm2=16×104m2
The initial value of the magnetic field, B' = 0.3T
Rate of decrease of the magnetic field, dBdt=0.02T/s
Emfdeveloped in the loop is given as: e=ddt
Where, dnull Change in flux through the loop area = AB
e=d(AB)dt=AdBdt=16×104×0.02=0.32×104V
The resistance of the loop, R= 1.6Ω
The current induced in the loop is given as:
i=eR=0.32×1041.6=2×105A
The power dissipated in the loop in the form of heat is given as:
P=i2R=(2×105)2×1.6=6.4×1010W
The source of this heat loss is an external agent, which is responsible for changing the magnetic field with time.
