An elliptical loop having resistance R, of semi major axis a,

Question:

An elliptical loop having resistance $R$, of semi major axis $a$, and semi minor axis $b$ is placed in a magnetic field as shown in the figure. If the loop is rotated about the $x$-axis with angular frequency $\omega$, the average power loss in the loop due to Joule heating is :

  1. (1) $\frac{\pi^{2} a^{2} b^{2} B^{2} \omega^{2}}{2 R}$

  2. (2) zero

  3. (3) $\frac{\pi a b B \omega}{R}$

  4. (4) $\frac{\pi^{2} a^{2} b^{2} B^{2} \omega^{2}}{R}$


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

(1) As we know, emf $\varepsilon=N A B \omega \cos \omega t$, Here $N=1$

Average power,

$\langle P\rangle=\left\langle\frac{\varepsilon^{2}}{R}\right\rangle=\left\langle\frac{A^{2} B^{2} \omega^{2} \cos ^{2} \omega t}{R}\right\rangle=\frac{A^{2} B^{2} \omega^{2}}{R}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$

Therefore average power loss in the loop due to Joule heating

$

=\frac{\pi^{2} a^{2} b^{2} B^{2}}{2 R}\left(\omega^{2}\right)$
