A metal disc of radius ' \(\mathrm{R}\) ' rotates with an angular velocity ' \(\omega\) ' about an axis perpendicular to its plane passing through its centre in a magnetic field of induction ' \(\mathrm{B}\) ' acting perpendicular to the plane of the disc. The induced e.m.f. between the rim and axis of the disc is (magnitude only)
- A \(\frac{R \omega^2 R^2}{2}\)
- B \(\frac{\mathrm{R} \omega \mathrm{R}}{2}\)
- C \(\frac{B \omega^2 R}{2}\)
- D \(\frac{\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{R}^2}{2}\)
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,
\(\left.\mathrm{E}=\int_0^{\mathrm{R}} \mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{rdr}=\frac{\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{r}^2}{2}\right]_0^{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{B} \omega \mathrm{R}^2}{2}\)
