(a) A rectangular coil rotates in a uniform magnetic field. Obtain an expression for induced emf and current at any instant. Also find their peak values. Show the variation of induced emf versus angle of rotation on a graph.
(b) An iron bar falling through the hollow region of a thick cylindrical shell made of copper experiences a retarding force. What can you conclude about the nature of the iron bar ? Explain.
(a) We know, the magnetic flux is given as ;
OR
We know,
So, On replacing the value of by
, we have
(b) The iron bar is a magnet and we know that when the bar magnet falls through the shell made up of copper, it produced a change in magnetic flux through it. Hence, the induced emf opposes the cause. (this is according to the Lenz's law) and hence bar experiences a retarding force.
