A magnetic field in a certain region is given by B=B0 cosω t k^ and a coil of radius a with resistance R is placed in the x-y plane with its centre at the origin in the magnetic field (figure). Find the magnitude and the direction of the current at (a, 0, 0) at

             

Hint: The current in the coil depends on the rate of change of magnetic flux.
Step 1: At any instant, flux passes through the ring is given by;
ϕ=B.A=BAcosθ=BA                             θ=0
or                                   ϕ=B0πa2cos ωt
By Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction,
The magnitude of induced emf is given by;
ε=-dt=B0πa2ωsinωt
This causes the flow of induced current, which is given by;
 I=B0πa2ωsinωt/R
Step 2: Now, finding the value of current at different instants, so we have current at:
t=π2ω
I=B0πa2ωR along j^
Because sinωt=sinω×π2ω=sinπ2=1
 At t=πω, I=Bπa2ωRsinπ=0
Here, sinωt=sinω×πω=sinπ=0
t=32πω
I=Bπa2ωR along -j^
sinωt=sinω×3π2ω=sin3π2=-1
