Question
In a uniform magnetic field of induction $$B$$ a wire in the form of a semicircle of radius $$r$$ rotates about the diameter of the circle with an angular frequency $$\omega .$$ The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the field. If the total resistance of the circuit is $$R,$$ the mean power generated per period of rotation is
A.
$$\frac{{{{\left( {B\pi r\omega } \right)}^2}}}{{2R}}$$
B.
$$\frac{{{{\left( {B\pi {r^2}\omega } \right)}^2}}}{{8R}}$$
C.
$$\frac{{B\pi {r^2}\omega }}{{2R}}$$
D.
$$\frac{{{{\left( {B\pi r{\omega ^2}} \right)}^2}}}{{8R}}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{{{\left( {B\pi {r^2}\omega } \right)}^2}}}{{8R}}$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& \phi = \vec B.\vec A;\phi = BA\cos \omega t \cr
& \varepsilon = - \frac{{d\phi }}{{dt}} = \omega BA\sin \omega t;\,\,i = \frac{{\omega BA}}{R}\sin \omega t \cr
& {P_{inst}} = {i^2}R = {\left( {\frac{{\omega BA}}{R}} \right)^2} \times R{\sin ^2}\omega t \cr
& {P_{avg}} = \frac{{\int\limits_0^T {{P_{inst}}} \times dt}}{{\int\limits_0^T {dt} }} = \frac{{{{\left( {\omega BA} \right)}^2}}}{R}\frac{{\int\limits_0^T {{{\sin }^2}} \omega tdt}}{{\int\limits_0^T {dt} }} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{{\left( {\omega BA} \right)}^2}}}{R} \cr
& \therefore {P_{avg}} = \frac{{{{\left( {\omega B\pi {r^2}} \right)}^2}}}{{8R}}\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {A = \frac{{\pi {r^2}}}{2}} \right] \cr} $$
