    A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of induction B tesla with its plane normal to the field. Now, the radius of the loop starts shrinking at the rate\[\left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)\]. Then, the induced emf at the instant when the radius is r, is

    A) \[\pi rB\left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)\]          

    B)        \[2\pi rB\left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)\]

    C) \[\pi {{r}^{2}}\left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)\]              

    D)        \[{{\left( \frac{\pi {{r}^{2}}}{2} \right)}^{2}}B\left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Induced emf is given by                 \[e=-\frac{d\phi }{dt}\] If the radius of loop is r at a time t, then the instantaneous magnetic flux is given by                                 \[\phi =\pi {{r}^{2}}B\] \[\therefore \]                  \[e=-\frac{d}{dt}(\pi {{r}^{2}}B)\]                                 \[e=-\pi B\left( \frac{2r\,\,dr}{dt} \right)\]                                 \[e=-2\pi Br\frac{dr}{dt}\] Numerically,       \[e=2\pi Br\left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)\]
