Q150 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (21 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

A circular coil connected to a battery of emf E produced a certain magnetic induction field at its centre. The coil is unwound, stretched to double its length rewound into a coil of 1rd3 of the original radius and connected to a battery of emf E' to produce same field at the centre. Then E' is

  • Correct answer
    A
    2E9
  • B
    3E7
  • C
    9E4
  • D
    7E4

Solution

The expression for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular
coil of n turns.

B=μ0i2rn

If length of the wire is doubled,

2 2πrn=2πr'n'

2 r n=r3n'

n'=6n

For the same field at the centre,

μ0in2r=μ0i'n'2r'

μ0in2r=μ0i 6 n2 r3

⇒  i'=i18

Since volume will remain same.

∴   l×A=2l×A'

⇒  A'=A2

The resistance after doubling the length,

R'=ρl'A'

⇒  R'=ρ 2lA/2

⇒ R'=4ρlA

⇒  R'=4 R

The EMF is,

E'=i'R'

⇒  E'=i18 4 R=29E

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
