Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

A long solenoid of radius R carries a time (t) - dependent current
I(t)=I0t(1 - t). A ring of radius 2R is placed coaxially near its middle. During the time interval 0 $\le$ t $\le$ 1, the induced current (IR) and the induced EMF(VR) in the ring change as :

  1. A Direction of I<sub>R</sub> remains unchanged and V<sub>R</sub> is zero at t = 0.25
  2. B Direction of I<sub>R</sub> remains unchanged and V<sub>R</sub> is maximum at t = 0.5
  3. C At t = 0.25 direction of I<sub>R</sub> reverses and V<sub>R</sub> is maximum
  4. D At t = 0.5 direction of I<sub>R</sub> reverses and V<sub>R</sub> is zero Correct answer

Solution

I(t) = I<sub>0</sub>t(1 - t) <br><br>We know, $\phi$ = BA <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ $\phi$ = $\mu$<sub>0</sub>nIA <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ $\phi$ = $\mu$<sub>0</sub>nAI<sub>0</sub>(t - t<sup>2</sup>) <br><br>Also V<sub>R</sub> = $- {{d\phi } \over {dt}}$ <br><br>= - $\mu$<sub>0</sub>nAI<sub>0</sub>(1 - 2t) <br><br>V<sub>R</sub> = 0 when 1 - 2t = 0 <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ t = 0.5 <br><br>Also we know, V<sub>R</sub> = I<sub>R</sub>r <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ I<sub>R</sub> = ${{{\mu _0}nA{I_0}\left( {1 - 2t} \right)} \over r}$ <br><br>after t = 0.5, I<sub>R</sub> reverses its direction.
