Q.

Consider an LC circuit, with inductance L = 0.1 H and capacitance C=10-3 F, kept on a plane. The area of the circuit is 1 m2. It is placed in a constant magnetic field of strength B0, which is perpendicular to the plane of the circuit. At time t=0, the magnetic field strength starts increasing linearly as B=B0+βt with β=0.04 Ts-1. The maximum magnitude of the current in the circuit is _______ mA.                          [2022]


Ans.

(4)

Induced emf, E=|dϕdt|=ddt(BA)=Addt(B0+βt)=Aβ=1×0.04=0.04 V

So, the circuit can be drawn as

By KVL,    E=Ldidt+qC

⇒  Ldidt=E-qC

Since i=dqdt,

⇒  d2qdt2=-1LC(q-CE)

Comparing it with the equation of SHM, we get

q=CE+Asin(ωt+ϕ),  where ω=1LC

So,  i=Aωcos(ωt+ϕ)

At t=0, q=0 and i=0

So, O=CE+Asinϕ  ⇒  Asinϕ=-CE    ⋯(i)

       O=cosϕ  ⇒  ϕ=π2    ⋯(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

        A=-CE

So, i=-CE ωcos(ωt+π2)=CE ωsinωt

Therefore, imax=CEω=10-3×0.04×10.1×10-3=4 mA
