Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A small coil is introduced between the poles of an electromagnet so that its axis coincides with the magnetic field direction. The number of turns is $n$ and the cross-sectional area of the coil is $A$. When the coil turns through $180^{\circ}$ about its diameter, the charge flowing through the coil is Q. The total resistance of the circuit is $R$. What is the magnitude of the magnetic induction?

Options:
  • A $\frac{\mathrm{QR}}{\mathrm{nA}}$
  • B $\frac{2 \mathrm{QR}}{\mathrm{nA}}$
  • C $\frac{\mathrm{Qn}}{2 \mathrm{RA}}$
  • D $\frac{\mathrm{QR}}{2 \mathrm{nA}}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\mathrm{QR}}{2 \mathrm{nA}}$
Induced charge
$$
\begin{aligned}
Q &=-\frac{n B A}{R}\left(\cos \theta_{2}-\cos \theta_{1}\right) \\
&=-\frac{n B A}{R}\left(\cos 180^{\circ}-\cos 0^{\circ}\right) \\
\Rightarrow B &=\frac{Q R}{2 n A}
\end{aligned}
$$
