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 answer
    A
    1 : 4
  • B
    3 : 2
  • C
    2 : 1
  • D
    4 : 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. Figure
Now, current induced in the coil is $P$, $$ \therefore \quad P_1=\frac{V_1^2}{R} $$Figure
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'.
