Practice question
Question
A conducting loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field with its plane parallel to the field lines. Why
is no emf induced when the field strength changes?
Explanation
**Solenoid second coil** experiences emf only when current in solenoid changes because flux linkage changes only then, steady current gives constant Φ, dΦ/dt=0, no emf, when current changes, dΦ/dt ≠0, emf induced, illustrating Faraday's law requirement of changing flux. When the plane is parallel to the field, the flux through the loop is zero ( Φ = B A cos 90° = 0 ), so changing the field strength does not alter the flux, resulting in no emf. Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀
