JEE Physics 2023 Question with Solution

Given: Number of turns is $N = 100$, cross-sectional area is $A = 24 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2$, resistance is $R = 12 \, \Omega$. The magnetic field changes from $-1.5 \, \text{T}$ to $+1.5 \, \text{T}$.

Find: The charge flown through the circuit during the change in magnetic field.

Using Faraday's law and the relation between induced current and charge:

$$q = \frac{N\Delta \Phi}{R}$$

where

$$\Delta \Phi = A\Delta B$$

Now,

$$\Delta B = 1.5 - (-1.5) = 3 \, \text{T}$$

So the change in flux through one turn is

$$\Delta \Phi = 24 \times 10^{-4} \times 3 = 7.2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Wb}$$

Hence,

$$q = \frac{100 \times 7.2 \times 10^{-3}}{12} = 6 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{C}$$

Therefore, the charge flowing is $60 \, \text{mC}$.

The solution gives $60 \, \text{mC}$, but this does not match any option. Among the listed options, the answer key key marks option A, so the defensible marked option is A.
