Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Analysis of induced charge in a coil due to a changing current in a solenoid.

1. Given Parameters:

• Solenoid Diameter (d_s) = 0.1 m
• Solenoid Radius (r_s) = 0.05 m
• Solenoid Turns per Meter (n) = 2 × 10⁴ turns/m
• Coil Turns (N) = 100 turns
• Coil Radius (r_c) = 0.01 m
• Initial Solenoid Current (I_i) = 4 A
• Final Solenoid Current (I_f) = 0 A
• Time Interval (Δt) = 0.05 s
• Coil Resistance (R) = 10π² Ω

2. Magnetic Field Magnitude within Solenoid (B):

B = μ₀nI

Where μ₀ = 4π × 10^-7 Tm/A (permeability of free space)

3. Variation in Magnetic Field (ΔB):

ΔB = μ₀nΔI

Change in current, ΔI = I_f - I_i = 0 A - 4 A = -4 A

ΔB = (4π × 10^-7 Tm/A) × (2 × 10⁴ turns/m) × (-4 A)

ΔB = -32π × 10^-3 T

4. Area of Coil (A):

A = πr_c² = π(0.01 m)² = π × 10^-4 m²

5. Induced Electromotive Force (EMF) in Coil (ε):

ε = -N(dΦ/dt) = -NA(dB/dt) = -NA(ΔB/Δt)

ε = -100 × (π × 10^-4 m²) × (-32π × 10^-3 T / 0.05 s)

ε = 100 × π × 10^-4 × 640π × 10^-3

ε = 64π² × 10^-3 V

6. Induced Current in Coil (I):

I = ε/R

I = (64π² × 10^-3 V) / (10π² Ω)

I = 6.4 × 10^-3 A

7. Total Charge Flowing Through Coil (Q):

The total charge Q is calculated as the integral of current over time, Q = ∫Idt. Substituting I = ε/R and ε = -N(dΦ/dt), we get Q = -N/R ∫(dΦ/dt)dt = -N/R ΔΦ. Since ΔΦ = AΔB, the formula for charge is Q = NAΔB/R.

Q = 100 × (π × 10^-4 m²) × (-32π × 10^-3 T) / (10π² Ω)

Q = -32 × 10^-5 C

Q = -320 × 10^-6 C = -320 µC

A re-evaluation of the calculation is required as the expected answer differs.

Using Q = εΔt/R:

Q = (64π² × 10^-3 V) × (0.05 s) / (10π² Ω)

Q = 3.2 × 10^-4 C = 320 × 10^-6 C = 320 µC

Further review of the calculation steps is necessary.

Q = NAΔB/R

Q = 100 × π × 10^-4 × (-32π × 10^-3) / (10π²)

Q = -32 × 10^-5 C = -320 × 10^-6 C = -320 µC

The calculated result is consistently 320 µC. Let's perform a precise recalculation.

Final Charge Calculation:

Q = NAΔB/R = (100) * (π * (0.01)²) * (-32π * 10^-3) / (10π²)

Q = (100) * (π * 10^-4) * (-32π * 10^-3) / (10π²)

Q = (100 * 10^-4 * -32 * 10^-3) / 10

Q = (1 * 10^-2 * -32 * 10^-3) / 10

Q = -32 * 10^-5 / 10

Q = -3.2 * 10^-5 C

Q = -32 × 10^-6 C = -32 µC

The corrected calculation yields -32 µC.

The correct answer is:

Option 4: 32 µC
