Q153 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (20 Apr Shift 2) · Physics
A coil is placed in a time varying magnetic field. The power dissipated due to current induced in the coil is $P_1$. If the number of turns is doubled and radius of the wire is halved, the power dissipated is $P_2$. Then $P_1: P_2$ is
- Correct answerA1 : 4
- B3 : 2
- C2 : 1
- D4 : 1
Solution
According to the question, radius of wire become $\frac{r}{2}$, so its length will be $4 l$ and its resistance will become $16 R$. The number of turns is doubled in a coil, so its radius should be doubled to accomodate the length of wire. The area of coil will become 4 times.

Now, current induced in the coil is $P$, $$ \therefore \quad P_1=\frac{V_1^2}{R} $$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $$ \begin{gathered} P_2=\frac{\left(8 V_1\right)^2}{16 R} \Rightarrow P_2=\frac{64 V_1^2}{16 R} \\ P_2=\frac{4 V_1^2}{R} \end{gathered} $$ Then the ratio, $P_1: P_2=\frac{V_1^2}{R}: \frac{4 V_1^2}{R}$ or $P_1: P_2=1: 4$

Now, current induced in the coil is $P$, $$ \therefore \quad P_1=\frac{V_1^2}{R} $$

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $$ \begin{gathered} P_2=\frac{\left(8 V_1\right)^2}{16 R} \Rightarrow P_2=\frac{64 V_1^2}{16 R} \\ P_2=\frac{4 V_1^2}{R} \end{gathered} $$ Then the ratio, $P_1: P_2=\frac{V_1^2}{R}: \frac{4 V_1^2}{R}$ or $P_1: P_2=1: 4$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
