A circular copper loop is placed perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T. Due to external forces, the area of the loop decreases at a rate of 1.26 x 10^-3 m^2/s. Determine the induced emf in the loop.

Answer:

[tex]6.3\cdot 10^{-4} V[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Faraday-Newmann-Lenz, the induced emf in the loop is given by:

[tex]\epsilon=-\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}[/tex] (1)

where [tex]\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}[/tex] is the rate of variation of the magnetic flux through the loop.

We know that the magnetic flux through the loop is given by

[tex]\Phi = BA[/tex]

where B is the magnetic field and A is the area of the loop. Since the magnetic field is constant, we can write the variation of flux as

[tex]\Delta \Phi = B \Delta A[/tex]

So eq.(1) becomes

[tex]\epsilon=-B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}[/tex]

and the problem gives us:

[tex]B=0.50 T[/tex] is the magnetic field

[tex]\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}=-1.26\cdot 10^{-3} m^2/s[/tex] is the rate at which the area changes

Substituting into the equation, we find

[tex]\epsilon=-(0.50 T)(-1.26\cdot 10^{-3} m^2/s)=6.3\cdot 10^{-4} V=0.63 mV[/tex]
