Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{R}^2}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct option is (D).
We can imagine the disc to be a collection of thin rods connected in parallel between the center of the disc and the rim. So if we calculate the induced emf on a thin rod rotating about its axis then this should be equal to that of the disc.

The tiny motional emf developed across the element dr can be written as:
\(\mathrm{dE}=\mathrm{Bvdr}\)
Taking the velocity \(\mathrm{v}=\omega \mathrm{r}\),
\(\mathrm{dE}=\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{rdr}\)
On integrating across the rod,
\(\left.\mathrm{E}=\int_0^{\mathrm{R}} \mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{rdr}=\frac{\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{r}^2}{2}\right]_0^{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{R}^2}{2}\)
