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 m s-1 (see figure). The e.m.f induced at the time the left arm of the frame is at x=10 cm from the wire is

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

Solution

dϕ=μ0i2πyady

ϕ=μ0ia2πxx+adyy=μ0ia2πlnx+a-lnx

E.m.f=-dϕdt=-μ0ia2π1x+adxdt-1xdxdt

=μ0ia2πa.vxx+a=μ02π.ia2vxx+a=2×10-7×1×0.12×100.1×0.2=1μV

Alternative method:

Consider two sides which are perpendicular to the velocity as case of motional e.m.f.

E=E1-E2=B1B2V l

=μ0I2π1x-1x+aV l

=2×10-7×110.1-10.2×10×0.1

=10-6 V=1 μV
