A Cut Loop Drawn Out Broadside for How Long

solved FaradaysLaw

Q. A rectangular wire loop $N = 1$ of sides 8 cm and 2 cm $A = 16$ cm² with a small cut is moving out of a region $B_{1} = 0$ T of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T $B_{0} = 0.3$ T directed normal to the loop $θ_{0} = 0 °$ , $θ_{1} = 0 °$ . The velocity of the loop is 1 cm/s $c_{av} = 1$ cm/s in a direction normal to the longer side $d = 2$ cm of the loop. For how long does the induced voltage last, in seconds?

How it's solved

Solved with FaradaysLaw

Given

$B_{0} = 0.3$ T
$c_{av} = 1$ cm/s
$A = 16$ cm² from “sides 8 cm and 2 cm”
$N = 1$ from “A rectangular wire loop”
$θ_{0} = 0 °$ from “directed normal to the loop”
$θ_{1} = 0 °$ from “directed normal to the loop”
$B_{1} = 0$ T from “moving out of a region”
$d = 2$ cm from “normal to the longer side”

Find $Δ t$ .

Working

$c_{av} = 1$ cm/s $= 0.01$ m/s
$A = 16$ cm² $= 0.0016$ m²
$d = 2$ cm $= 0.02$ m
path a time(leaving) $c_{av} = \frac{d}{Δ t}$
$0.01 = \frac{0.02}{Δ t}$
$Δ t = 2.00 s$
$Δ t \approx 2.0$ sto 2 significant figures

Conclusion

The emf lasts only while some of the loop is still in the field and the flux through it is changing, the time the loop takes to cross its own width.
