JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 1st September Evening Shift - No. 2)

A square loop of side 20 cm and resistance 1$$\Omega$$ is moved towards right with a constant speed v0. The right arm of the loop is in a uniform magnetic field of 5T. The field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop and is going into it. The loop is connected to a network of resistors each of value 4$$\Omega$$. What should be the value of v0 so that a steady current of 2 mA flows in the loop?

102 m/s
10$$-$$2 cm/s

Explanation

According to given circuit diagram, equivalent resistance between point P and Q.

$${R_{PQ}} = (4 + 4)||(4 + 4)$$

$$ = {{8 \times 8} \over {8 + 8}} = 4\,\Omega $$

The equivalent circuit can be drawn as,

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Physics - Electromagnetic Induction Question 64 English Explanation
Equivalent resistance, Req = 4 + 1 = 5 $$\Omega$$

Magnetic field, B = 5T

The side of the square loop, I = 20 cm = 0.20 m

The steady value of the current, I = 2 mA = 2 $$\times$$ 10-3 A

Induced emf, e = Bv0I

Induced current, I = e / Req

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$$2 \times {10^{ - 3}} = {{5 \times {v_0} \times 0.2} \over 5}$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ v0 = 10-2 m/s = 1 cm/s

$$\therefore$$ The value of v0 = 1 cm/s, so that a steady current of 2 mA flows in the loop.
