STANDARD Physics Motional EMF MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field, B = 0.025 T with its plane perpendicular to the loop. The radius of the loop is made to shrink at a constant rate of 1 mm s⁻¹. The induced emf when the radius is 2 cm, is

A

2π μV

B

μV

C

π/2 μV

D

2 μV

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The emf induced in a shrinking loop is given by ε = -d(BA)/dt. Here, A = πr² and dr/dt = -1 mm/s = -0.001 m/s. Thus, ε = B × 2πr × dr/dt = 0.025 × 2π × 0.02 × (-0.001) = -2π μV.
