Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field. If the loop is rotated about its diameter, what happens to the induced EMF?
  • Step 1: Understand that a circular loop is placed in a magnetic field.
  • Step 2: Know that the loop can rotate about its diameter.
  • Step 3: Recognize that when the loop rotates, the angle between the magnetic field and the loop changes.
  • Step 4: Remember that magnetic flux is the product of the magnetic field strength and the area of the loop perpendicular to the field.
  • Step 5: Realize that even though the angle changes, the area of the loop and the strength of the magnetic field remain constant.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since the magnetic flux does not change, there is no induced EMF.
  • Electromagnetic Induction – The principle that a changing magnetic flux through a loop induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the loop.
  • Magnetic Flux – The product of the magnetic field strength and the area of the loop perpendicular to the field, which determines the induced EMF.
  • Rotation and Magnetic Field Interaction – Understanding how the orientation of a loop in a magnetic field affects the magnetic flux and induced EMF.
