Q 3. A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm2 placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to 4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?


 

Number of turns on the solenoid – 15 turn / cm = 1500 turn / m

Number of turns per unit length, n = 1500 turns

The solenoid has a small loop of the area, A=2.0cm2=2×104m2

The current carried by the solenoid changes from 2 A to 4 A.

Therefore, Change in current in the solenoid, di = 4 – 2 = 2 A

Change in time, dt = 0.1 s

Induced emf in the solenoid is given by Faraday's law as:

                                                         e dϕdt                        (1)

Where,

 = Induced flux through the small loop  = BA                                 . . . (2)

B = Magnetic fieldnullni

null = Permeability of free space =4π×107H/m

Hence, equation (1) can be reduced to:

e=ddt(BA)=0n×(didt)=2×104×4π×107×1500×20.1=7.54×106V

Hence, the induced voltage in the loop is
