A wire shaped as a semicircle of radius 'a' rotates about an axis OO' with an angular velocity in a uniform magnetic field of induction B. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the field direction. The total resistance of the circuit is equal to R. Neglecting the magnetic field of induced current, find the mean amount of thermal power being generated in the loop during a rotation period.

mean thermal power= (1/2) E^2/R
emf induced across the 2 ends of the semicircle = 2a^2BW

The induced emf is given by

e = -d(BA)/dt = -B dA/dt

Since angular velocity is w, so we can find rate of change of area i.e dA/dt

So here e = (1/2)B w a2

Here resistance of the wire = R

so induced current = i = e/R = (B w a2 / 2R)

Thus thermal power generated in the loop = i2R,

substitute the value of i to obtain the desired result.

The Scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, & he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Ofcourse I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities & appearances; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmoniuos order of the parts, & which a pure intelligence can grasp.

The intersting thing is that there is NO INDUCED EMF & HENCE CURRENT !!!


It is because there is no change in flux  wrt time as the semicircular wire rotates in a UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD !!


hence mean amount of thermal power generated = 0 watts
