Q.

A square frame of side 10 cm and a long straight wire carrying current 1 A are in the plane of the paper. Starting from close to the wire, the frame moves towards the right with a constant speed of 10 ms-1 (see figure).                  [2020]

The e.m.f. induced at the time the left arm of the frame is at x=10 cm from the wire is:

1 2 μV  
2 1 μV  
3 0.75 μV  
4 0.5 μV  

Ans.

(2)

In the given question,

Current flowing through the wire, I=1 A

Speed of the frame, v=10 ms-1

Side of square loop, l=10 cm

Distance of square frame from current carrying wire, x=10 cm

We have to find, e.m.f. induced e=?

According to Biot-Savart's law,

B=μ0I dl sinθ4πx2=4π×10-74π×1×10-1(10-1)2=10-6 

Induced e.m.f., e=Blv=10-6×10-1×10=1 μV
