    7070

  • C

    3535

  • D

    140140

Answer

Correct answer:B

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: Magnetic field changes from 5000T5000 \, \text{T} to 3000T3000 \, \text{T} in 2s2 \, \text{s}. Induced emf is 22V22 \, \text{V}. Diameter of the coil is 0.02m0.02 \, \text{m}.

Find: Number of turns NN in the coil.

Using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction,

ε=NΔΦΔt\varepsilon = -N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

The magnetic flux through the coil is

Φ=BA\Phi = B A

Radius of the coil is

r=d2=0.022=0.01mr = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.01 \, \text{m}

So, area of the coil is

A=πr2=π(0.01)2=0.0001πm2A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.01)^2 = 0.0001\pi \, \text{m}^2

Change in magnetic field is

ΔB=BfinalBinitial=30005000=2000T\Delta B = B_{\text{final}} - B_{\text{initial}} = 3000 - 5000 = -2000 \, \text{T}

Hence, change in magnetic flux is

ΔΦ=AΔB=0.0001π(2000)=0.2πWb\Delta \Phi = A \cdot \Delta B = 0.0001\pi \cdot (-2000) = -0.2\pi \, \text{Wb}

Substituting in Faraday's law,

22=N0.2π222 = -N \cdot \frac{-0.2\pi}{2} 22=N0.2π222 = N \cdot \frac{0.2\pi}{2} 22=N0.1π22 = N \cdot 0.1\pi N=220.1πN = \frac{22}{0.1\pi} N220.31470N \approx \frac{22}{0.314} \approx 70

Therefore, the number of turns in the coil is 7070. The correct option is B.

Direct Substitution

Given: E=22V\mathcal{E} = 22 \, \text{V}, Bi=5000TB_i = 5000 \, \text{T}, Bf=3000TB_f = 3000 \, \text{T}, t=2st = 2 \, \text{s}, diameter d=0.02md = 0.02 \, \text{m}.

Find: Number of turns NN.

First calculate the radius and area:

r=0.01mr = 0.01 \, \text{m} A=π(0.01)2A = \pi (0.01)^2

Magnitude of change in magnetic field is

ΔB=2000T\Delta B = 2000 \, \text{T}

So,

Δϕ=(ΔB)A=(2000)(π)(0.01)2=0.2π\Delta \phi = (\Delta B)A = (2000)(\pi)(0.01)^2 = 0.2\pi

Now use

E=N(Δϕt)\mathcal{E} = N \left( \frac{\Delta \phi}{t} \right) 22=N(0.2π2)22 = N \left( \frac{0.2\pi}{2} \right) N=70N = 70

This works because the coil remains perpendicular to the magnetic field, so flux change depends directly on BABA. Therefore, the correct option is B.

Common mistakes

  • Using the diameter directly in the area formula is incorrect because the area of the coil depends on the radius. First convert d=0.02md = 0.02 \, \text{m} to r=0.01mr = 0.01 \, \text{m}, then use A=πr2A = \pi r^2.

  • Ignoring that emf depends on the rate of change of flux is wrong. Do not use only ΔΦ\Delta \Phi; divide by the given time 2s2 \, \text{s} in Faraday's law.

  • Taking ΔB=50003000\Delta B = 5000 - 3000 or 300050003000 - 5000 without understanding the sign can cause confusion. For finding the number of turns, use the magnitude of induced emf and the magnitude of flux change consistently.
