\(\Phi_B\) = (2t3 + 3t2 + 8t + 5)mWb; N = 1;t = 3 s
i) \(ε=\frac { d(N{ \Phi }_{ B }) }{ dt } \)
\(=\frac { d }{ t } \left( { 2t }^{ 3 }+{ 3t }^{ 2 }+8t+5 \right) \times { 10 }^{ -3 }\)
= (6t2 + 6t + 8) x 10-3 V
At t = 3 s,
ε = [( 6 x 9) + (6 x 3) + 8] x 10-3
= 80 x 10-3V = 80mV
(ii) As time passes, the magnetic flux linked with the loop increases. According to Lenz’s law, the direction of the induced current should be in a way so as to oppose the flux increase. So, the induced current flows in such a way to produce a magnetic field opposite to the given field. This magnetic field is perpendicularly outwards. Therefore, the induced current flows in anticlockwise direction.
5.

(a) The work done to arrange the charges in the corners of the square is independent of the way they are arranged. We can follow any order.
(i) First, the charge +q is brought to the corner P. This requires no work since no charge is already present, WP = 0
(ii) Work required to bring the charge –q to the corner Q = (-q) x potential at a point Q due to +q located at a point P
WQ = -q x \(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { q }{ a } =-\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { q^{ 2 } }{ a } \)
(iii) Work required to bring the charge +q to the corner R = q x potential at the point R due to charges at the point P and Q.
WR = q x \(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \left( -\frac { q }{ a } +\frac { q }{ \sqrt { 2 } a } \right) \)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { { q }^{ 2 } }{ a } \left( -1+\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \right) \)
(iv) Work required to bring the fourth charge –q at the position S = q × potential at the point S due the all the three charges at the point P, Q and R.
Ws = - q x \(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \left( \frac { q }{ a } +\frac { q }{ a } -\frac { q }{ \sqrt { 2 } a } \right) \)
Ws = \(-\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { q^2 }{ a } \left( 2-\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \right) \)
(b) Work required to bring the charge q′ to the center of the square = q′ x potential at the center point O due to all the four charges in the four corners.
The potential created by the two +q charges are canceled by the potential created by the -q charges which are located in the opposite corners. Therefore the net electric potential at the center O due to all the charges in the corners is zero.
Hence no work is required to bring any charge to the point O. Physically this implies that if any charge q′ when brought close to O, then it moves to the point O without any external force.

\(\vec {E}\) = 10 x 2 x \(\hat{i}\) = 20\(\hat{i}\)
Since, \(E=\frac{-dV}{dx}\therefore V=+20 V\)

Formula:
\(L=\frac { { \mu }_{ o }{ N }^{ 2 }{ A } }{ l } =\frac { { \mu }_{ o }{ { N }^{ 2 }A } }{ 2\pi r } \)

According to Wheatstone bridge \(\cfrac { P }{ Q } =\cfrac { R }{ S } \)
\(\cfrac { R }{ S } =\cfrac { OA }{ OB } =\cfrac { 40 }{ 60 } \)
\(\cfrac { R }{ S } =\cfrac { OA }{ OB } =\cfrac { 40 }{ 60 } \)
If resistance 10 \(\Omega \) connected in series with R, the balance length is 60 cm.
\(\cfrac { R+10 }{ S } =\cfrac { 60 }{ 40 } \Rightarrow 2R+20=3S\)
From (1) & (2) \(\Rightarrow \left[ \cfrac { 4S }{ 3 } +20=3S \right] \)
45 + 60 = 95
55 = 60
\(S=\cfrac { 60 }{ 5 } =12\)
\(2\times \cfrac { 2S }{ 3 } +20=3S\)
\(s=12\Omega \)
From equation (1)
\(R=2\times \cfrac { 12 }{ 3 } =8\Omega \)
\(R=8\Omega \)

Working: The loop PQRS is stationary and is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. When field windings are excited, magnetic field is produced around it. Let the field magnet be rotated in clockwise direction by some external means (Figure).
(i) Assume that initial position of the field magnet is horizontal. At that instant, the direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop PQRS. The induced emf is zero. This is represented by origin O in the graph between induced emf and time angle.
(ii) When field magnet rotates through 90°, magnetic field becomes parallel to PQRS. The induced emfs across PQ and RS would become maximum. Since they are connected in series, emfs are added up and the direction of total induced emf is given by Flemin's right hand rule.
(iii) Care has to be taken while applying this rule, the thumb indicates the direction of the motion of the conductor with respect to field. For clockwise rotating poles, the conductor appears to be rotating anticlockwise. Hence, thumb should point to the left. The direction of the induced emf is at right angles to the plane of the paper. For PQ, it is inwards and for RS outwards. Therefore, the current flows along PQRS. The point A in the graph represents this maximum emf.
(iv) For the rotation of 180° from the initial position, the field is again perpendicular to PQRS and the induced emf becomes zero. This is represented by point B.
(v) The field magnet becomes again parallel to PQRS for 270° rotation of field magnet. The induced emf is maximum but the direction is reversed. Thus the current flows along SRQP. This is represented by point C
(vi) On completion of 360°, the induced emf becomes zero and is represented by the point D. From the graph, it is clear that emf induced in PQRS is alternating in nature.
(vii) Therefore, when field magnet completes one rotation, induced emf in PQRS finishes one cycle.

Current leads the applied voltage by \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) in a capacitive circuit.
This is the resistance offered by the capacitor, called capacitive reactance (Xc). It measured in ohm.
\({ X }_{ c }=\frac { 1 }{ \omega C } \)
The capacitive reactance (Xc) varies inversely as the frequency. For a steady current, f = 0
∴\({ X }_{ c }=\frac { 1 }{ \omega C } -\frac { 1 }{ 2\pi fC } =\frac { 1 }{ 0 } =\infty \)
Thus a capacitive circuit offers infinite resistance to the steady current.
