If power dissipated in a coil having total number of turns N, cross-section area Aand radius of coil R when kept in a time varying magnetic field is P. Now if another coil having total number of turns 2N, cross-section area 2A and radius 3R is placed in the same time varying magnetic field, the power dissipated is αP. Find value of α
Correct Answer :
108
Solution :
The correct option is 108.
Let us derive the relation for the power dissipated in a coil placed in a time-varying magnetic field step-by-step.
1. Resistance of the coil ():
The electrical resistance of the wire forming the coil depends on its resistivity (), its total length (), and its cross-sectional area ().
The total length of the wire for a coil of radius with turns is given by:
Thus, the resistance is:
2. Induced electromotive force (EMF) ():
According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, the induced EMF () is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux () through the coil:
The magnetic flux through a coil with turns, each of loop area , in a magnetic field is:
Therefore, the induced EMF is:
3. Power dissipated ():
The power dissipated in the coil is given by:
Substituting the expressions for and into this equation:
Simplifying the expression:
Since the time-varying magnetic field and resistivity remain the same, we have the proportionality:
4. Calculating the ratio ():
For the first coil:
For the second coil, the parameters are modified as follows:
Number of turns
Radius of coil
Cross-sectional area of wire
Let be the new power dissipated:
Substitute the values of the new parameters:
Therefore:
Comparing this with , we find:
