Problem 3.292

A wire loop enclosing a semi-circle of radius aa is located on the boundary of a uniform magnetic field of induction BB (Fig. 3.80). At the moment t=0t=0 the loop is set into rotation with a constant angular acceleration β\beta about an axis OO coinciding with a line of vector B\mathbf{B} on the boundary. Find the emf induced in the loop as a function of time tt. Draw the approximate plot of this function. The arrow in the figure shows the emf direction taken to be positive.v

3.292. Ei=1/2(1)nBaβt,\mathscr{E}_{i}=1 / 2(-1)^{n} \operatorname{Ba} \beta t, where n=1,2,n=1,2, \ldots is the num- ber of the half-revolution that the loop performs at the given moment tt. The plot Ei(t)\mathscr{E}_{i}(t) is shown in Fig. 25 where tn=2πn/βt_{n}=\sqrt{2 \pi n / \beta}.
