An $$LCR$$ circuit is equivalent to a damped pendulum. In an
$$LCR$$ circuit the capacitor is charged to $${Q_0}$$ and then connected to the $$L$$ and $$R$$ as shown below :
If a student plots graphs of the square of maximum charge
$$\left( {Q_{Max}^2} \right)$$ on the capacitor with time($$t$$) for two different values $${L_1}$$ and $${L_2}\left( {{L_1} > {L_2}} \right)$$ of $$L$$ then which of the following represents this graph correctly ? (plots are schematic and not drawn to scale)
A
B
C
D
Answer :
From $$KVL$$ at any time $$t$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{q}{c} - iR - L\frac{{di}}{{dt}} = 0 \cr
& i = - \frac{{dq}}{{dt}} \Rightarrow \frac{q}{c} + \frac{{dq}}{{dt}}R + \frac{{L{d^2}q}}{{d{t^2}}} = 0 \cr
& \frac{{{d^2}q}}{{d{t^2}}} + \frac{R}{L}\frac{{dq}}{{dt}} + \frac{q}{{Lc}} = 0 \cr} $$
From damped harmonic oscillator, the amplitude is given by $$A = {A_0}e - \frac{{dt}}{{2m}}$$
Double differential equation $$\frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} + \frac{b}{m}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} + \frac{k}{m}x = 0$$
$${Q_{\max }} = {Q_o}e - \frac{{Rt}}{{2L}} \Rightarrow Q_{\max }^2 = Q_o^2e - \frac{{Rt}}{L}$$
Hence damping will be faster for lesser self inductance.

A rod $$PQ$$ of length $$L$$ moves with a uniform velocity $$v$$ parallel to a long straight wire carrying a current $$i,$$ the end $$P$$ remaining at a distance $$r$$ from the wire. The emf induced across the rod is
A
$$\frac{{{\mu _0}i{v^2}}}{{2\pi }}\ln \left( {\frac{{r + L}}{r}} \right)$$
B
$$\frac{{{\mu _0}{i^2}{v^2}}}{{2\pi }}\ln \left( {\frac{{{r^2} + L}}{r}} \right)$$
C
$$\frac{{{\mu _0}iv}}{{2\pi }}\ln \left( {\frac{{r + L}}{r}} \right)$$
D
$$\frac{{{\mu _0}iv}}{{2\pi }}\ln \left( {\frac{{{r^2} + {L^2}}}{{{L^2}}}} \right)$$
Consider a small element of length $$dx$$ of the rod at a distance $$x$$ and $$\left( {x + dx} \right)$$ from the wire.
The emf induced across the element
$$de = B\,v\,dx\,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
We know that magnetic field $$B$$ at a distance $$x$$ from a wire carrying a current $$i$$ is given by
$$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{2\pi }}.\frac{i}{x}\,.....\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
From eqs. (i) and (ii),
$$de = \frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{2\pi x}}v\,dx\,......\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)$$
The emf $$e$$ induced in the entire length of the rod $$PQ$$ is given by
$$\eqalign{
& e = \int {de} = \int_P^Q {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{2\pi }}\frac{i}{x}} v\,dx \cr
& = \int_r^{r + L} {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{2\pi }}\frac{i}{x}} v\,dx \cr
& = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{2\pi }}i\,v\int_r^{r + L} {\frac{{dx}}{x}} \cr
& = \frac{{{\mu _0}iv}}{{2\pi }}{\log _e}\left( {\frac{{r + L}}{r}} \right) \cr} $$

A sliding wire of length $$0.25\,m$$ and having a resistance of $$0.5\,\Omega $$ moves along conducting guiding rails $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ with a uniform speed of $$4\,m/s.$$ A magnetic field of $$0.5\,T$$ exists normal to the plane of $$ABCD$$ directed into the page. The guides are short-circuited with resistances of 4 and $$2\,\Omega $$ as shown. The current through the sliding wire is :
A
$$0.27\,A$$
B
$$0.37\,A$$
C
$$1.0\,A$$
D
$$0.72\,A$$
Answer :
$$0.27\,A$$
The induced emf across the sliding wire
$$e = Bv\ell = 0.5 \times 4 \times 0.25 = 0.5\,V$$
The effective circuit is shown in figure.
The equivalent resistance of the circuit
$$\eqalign{
& r = \frac{{4 \times 2}}{{4 + 2}} + 0.5 = 1.83\,\Omega \cr
& {\text{Now,}}\,i = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{{0.5}}{{1.83}} = 0.27\,A \cr} $$

A conductor of length $$0.4\,m$$ is moving with a speed of $$7\,m/s$$ perpendicular to a magnetic field of intensity $$0.9\,Wb/{m^2}.$$ The induced emf across the conductor is
A
$$1.26\,V$$
B
$$2.52\,V$$
C
$$5.04\,V$$
D
$$25.2\,V$$
Answer :
$$2.52\,V$$
Given, length of conductor $$\left( l \right) = 0.4\,m$$
speed $$\left( v \right) = 7\,m/s$$
Magnetic field $$\left( B \right) = 0.9\,Wb/{m^2}$$
Induced emf, $$e = Blv\sin \theta \,\,\left[ {\theta = {{90}^ \circ }\,{\text{as}}\,B\,{\text{is}}\, \bot \,v} \right]$$
$$\eqalign{
& = 0.9 \times 0.4 \times 7 \times \sin {90^ \circ } \cr
& = 2.52\,V \cr} $$

Eddy currents are produced when
A
a metal is kept in varying magnetic field
B
a metal is kept in steady magnetic field
C
a circular coil is placed in a magnetic field
D
current is passed through a circular coil
Answer :
a metal is kept in varying magnetic field
Eddy currents are the currents induced in the body of a conductor when the amount of magnetic flux linked with the conductor changes.
e.g. when we move a metal plate out of a magnetic field, the relative motion of the field and the conductor again induces a current in the conductor for which conduction electrons move in closed loops forming circular eddy currents in such a way that it opposes the magnetic field that created it as if the electrons are caught in an eddy or whirlpool. It is also called Foucault current.

An infinitesimally small bar magnet of dipole moment $$\overrightarrow M $$ is pointing and moving with the speed $$v$$ in the $${\hat x}$$- direction. A small closed circular conducting loop of radius $$a$$ and negligible self-inductance lies in the $$y-z$$ plane with its center at $$x =0,$$ and its axis coinciding with the $$x$$-axis. Find the force opposing the motion of the magnet, if the resistance of the loop is $$R.$$ Assume that the distance $$x$$ of the magnet from the center of the loop is much greater than $$a.$$
A
$$\frac{{21}}{4}\frac{{\mu _0^2{M^2}{a^4}v}}{{R{x^8}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{16}}{3}\frac{{{\mu _0}{M^2}{a^2}{v^2}}}{{R{x^3}}}$$
C
$$\frac{3}{{23}}\frac{{{\mu _0}Ma{v^2}}}{{R{x^3}}}$$
$$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{2\pi }}\frac{M}{{{x^3}}}$$
$$\therefore $$ Flux passing through the coil $$ = B{a^2}$$
$$\therefore $$ The induced emf in the coil
$$\eqalign{
& e = \frac{{ - d\phi }}{{dt}} = - \frac{d}{{dt}}\left[ {\frac{{{\mu _0}M{a^2}}}{2} \times \frac{1}{{{x^3}}}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{3{\mu _0}M{a^2}}}{{2{x^4}}}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}\left[ {\because v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{3{\mu _0}M{a^2}}}{{2{x^4}}} \times v \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Current in the coil $$ = I = \frac{e}{R} = \frac{{3{\mu _0}M{a^2}v}}{{2{x^4}R}}$$
The magnetic moment of the loop
$$M' = I \times A = \frac{{3{\mu _0}M{a^2}v}}{{2{x^4}R}} \times {\left( {\pi a} \right)^2}$$
Now the potential energy of the loop placed in the magnetic field is
$$\eqalign{
& U = - M'B\cos {180^ \circ } = \frac{{3{\mu _0}M{a^2}v \times \pi {a^2}}}{{2{x^4}R}} \times \frac{{{\mu _0}M}}{{2\pi {x^3}}} \cr
& \therefore U = \frac{{3\mu _0^2{M^2}{a^4}v}}{{4R{x^7}}} \cr
& {\text{Now,}}\,\,\left| {\vec F} \right| = - \frac{{dU}}{{dx}} \cr
& \therefore F = \frac{{21}}{4}\frac{{\mu _0^2{M^2}{a^4}v}}{{R{x^8}}} \cr} $$
Since by Newton’s third law, action and reaction are equal. Therefore, the above calculated force is acting on the magnet. The direction of the force is in $$ - \hat i$$ direction by Lenz’s law.
