A wire loop with a radius of 1 cm, having a resistance of 1 mOhm, is penetrated by a uniform magnetic field
A wire loop with a radius of 1 cm, having a resistance of 1 mOhm, is penetrated by a uniform magnetic field, the induction lines of which are perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The magnetic field induction changes smoothly at a rate of 0.01 T / s. How much heat will be released in a loop in 1 minute?
r = 1 cm = 0.01 m.
R = 1 mΩ = 0.001 Ω.
ΔВ / t = 0.01 T / s.
T = 1 min = 60 s.
∠α = 0 °.
Q -?
The released amount of heat Q is expressed by the Joule-Lenz law: Q = EMF2 * T / R, where EMF is the electromotive force of induction, T is time, R is the resistance of the wire loop.
When the magnetic induction changes in the wire loop, an induction current arises.
EMF = ΔФ / t – Faraday’s law.
The change in the magnetic flux ΔФ in the loop is expressed by the formula: ΔФ = Δ (B * S) * cosα.
Since the area of the loop S does not change, then ΔФ = S * cosα * ΔB.
EMF = S * cosα * ΔB / t.
The area of the loop S is expressed by the formula: S = P * r ^ 2.
EMF = P * r ^ 2 * cosα * ΔB / t.
EMF = 3.14 * (0.01 m) ^ 2 * cos 0 ° * 0.01 T / s = 3.14 * 10 ^ -6 V.
Q = (3.14 * 10 ^ -6 V) 2 * 60 s / 0.001 Ohm = 6 * 10 ^ -7 J.
Answer: Q = 6 * 10 ^ -7 J of thermal energy is released in the wire loop.
