Q. 52
A conducting disc of radius r rotates with a small but constant angular velocity ω about its axis. A uniform magnetic field B exists parallel to the axis of rotation. Find the motional emf between the center and the periphery of the disc.
Answer :
Given:
Radius = r
Angular velocity = w
Magnetic field = B
Diagram:
Formula used:
In this case, the velocity will increase radially.
Let us consider a strip of width dx at a distance x from the centre.
Hence, induced emf of this portion will be , where B = magnetic field, dx = width of the element, x = distance of the element from the centre, w = angular velocity
Hence, integrating on both sides using proper limits, we get
=> Total motional emf (Ans)

Figure shows a conducting disc rotating about its resistance R is connected between the centre and the rim. Calculate the current in the resistor. Does it enter the disc or leave it at the centre? The radius of the disc is 5.0 cm, angular speed ω = 10 rad/s, B = 0.40 T and R = 10 Ω.

The magnetic field in a region is given by where L is a fixed length. A conducting rod of length L lies along the Y-axis between the origin and the point (0, L, 0). If the rod moves with a velocity v = v0
, find the emf induced between the ends of the rod.
Consider the following statements:
(A) An emf can be induced by moving a conductor in a magnetic field.
(B) An emf can be induced by changing the magnetic field.

If the magnetic fields outside a copper box are suddenly changed, what happens to the magnetic field inside the box? Such low-resistivity metals are used to form enclosures which shield objects inside them against varying magnetic fields.
HC Verma - Concepts of Physics Part 2The current generation Ig, shown in figure, sends a constant current i through the circuit. The wire cd is fixed and ab is made to slide on the smooth, thick rails with a constant velocity v towards right. Each of these wires has resistance r. Find the current through the wire cd.
