A single loop of wire with an area of 0.0780 m2 is in a uniform magnetic field that has an initial value of 3.80 T, is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, and is decreasing at a constant rate of 0.240 T/s .

Requried:
If the loop has a resistance of 0.700Ω. Find the current induced in the loop.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The induced current is 26.7 mA

Explanation:

Given;

area of the loop, A = 0.078 m²

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 3.8 T

change in the magnetic field strength, dB/dt = 0.24 T/s

The induced emf is calculated as;

[tex]emf = - \frac{d \phi}{dt} \\\\emf = -\frac{dB.A}{dt} \\\\emf = A (\frac{dB}{dt} )\\\\emf = 0.078(0.24)\\\\emf = 0.0187 \ V[/tex]

The resistance of the loop = 0.7 Ω

The induced current is calculated as;

[tex]V = IR\\\\I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{emf}{R} = \frac{0.0187}{0.7} = 0.0267 \ A = 26.7 \ mA[/tex]
