Question

A circular ring of diameter $20\,cm$ has a resistance of $0.01$ $\Omega$. The ring is turned from a position perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of $2T$ to a position parallel to the field. The amount of charge flowing through the ring in this process is

• A. $\pi C$
• B. $2\pi C$
• C. $8\pi C$
• D. 2C

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

When the ring is in perpendicular position, magnetic flux linked with it is maximum. i.e., $\phi_1$ =BA = $B \times \pi r^2 = 2 \times \pi \times 10^{-2} = 2\pi \times 10^{-2}$ Wb (r = 10 cm = 0.1 m) When ring is in parallel position, magnetic flux linked with it is zero. i.e., $\phi_2$ = 0 $\therefore$ Change in magnetic flux, $\Delta \phi = \phi_1 - \phi_2 = 2\pi \times 10^{-2}$ Wb Given, R = 0.01 $\Omega = 10^{-2} \Omega$ Using, charge, $q = \frac{\Delta \phi}{R} $, we have, $q = \frac{2 \pi \times 10^{-2}}{10^{-2}} = 2\pi $ C
