A uniform disc of radius \(R\) having charge \(Q\) distributed uniformly all over its surface is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A magnetic field, \(B=k x t^{2}\), where \(k\) is a constant, \(x\) is the distance (in metre) from the centre of the disc, and \(t\) is the time (in second) is switched on perpendicular to the plane of the disc. Find the torque (in \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{m}\) ) acting on the disc after \(15 \mathrm{~s}\) (Take \(4 k Q=1\) S.I. unit and \(R=1 \mathrm{~m}\) ).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The torque acting on the disc after \(15\) seconds is \(\frac{\pi}{360}~N~m\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the variables and constants

We are given: - Radius of the disc, \(R=1 \mathrm{~m}\) - Charge on the disc, \(Q\) - Magnetic field \(B= k x t^{2}\) - Time \(t = 15 \mathrm{~s}\) - \(4kQ = 1\) S.I. unit
02

Write down the formula for torque

Torque, \(\tau\) on a segment of the disc can be defined as the cross product of the distance from the center and the magnetic force applied on that segment: \(d\tau = \vec{r} \times d\vec{F}\)
03

Compute force \(d\vec{F}\) using the formula for the force on a current loop

Using the force on a current loop formula, \(dF = Idl \times \vec{B}\), we can calculate the force on a small segment of the disc. We know that \(I = \frac{dq}{dt}\), where \(dq\) is the charge on the small segment of the disc and \(dt\) is the time. Let us consider a small annular section at a distance \(r\) from the center with a width \(dr\). The charge in this section will be \(dq = \frac{Q}{\pi R^2} \times 2 \pi r dr\). Thus, the force acting on this small annular section, \(dF = \frac{dq}{dt} \times dl \times B\). Here, \(dl = 2 \pi r\), the length of the annular section. Substituting the charge and length of the annular section into the force formula, \(dF = \frac{\frac{Q}{\pi R^2} \times 2 \pi r dr}{dt} \times 2 \pi r \times k x t^2\)
04

Calculate torque \(d\tau\) on the small annular section using the force computed

Now, we will calculate the torque on a small annular section using \(d\tau = \vec{r} \times d\vec{F}\), \(d\tau = r \times dF\) Substituting the value of \(dF\) from the previous step, \(d\tau = r \times \frac{\frac{Q}{\pi R^2} \times 2 \pi r dr}{dt} \times 2 \pi r \times k x t^2\)
05

Integrate the torque over the entire disc

To find the total torque acting on the disc, we will integrate the torque over the entire disc from \(r = 0\) to \(r = R\): \(\tau = \int_{0}^{R} r \times \frac{\frac{Q}{\pi R^2} \times 2 \pi r dr}{dt} \times 2 \pi r \times k x t^2\) As we are given the values of \(4kQ = 1 \mathrm{~S.I.}\) unit, \(R = 1 \mathrm{~m}\), and \(t = 15 \mathrm{~s}\), the integration can be simplified and calculated: \(\tau = \int_{0}^{1} r \times \frac{\frac{1}{4\pi} \times 2 \pi r dr}{15} \times 2 \pi r \times k x (15)^2\) \(\tau = \int_{0}^{1} r \times \frac{r dr}{30} \times 2 \pi r \times \frac{1}{4(15)^2}\) \(\tau = \frac{\pi}{90} \int_{0}^{1} r^3 dr\) \(\tau = \frac{\pi}{90} \left[ \frac{r^4}{4} \right]_{0}^{1}\) \(\tau = \frac{\pi}{90} \times \frac{1}{4}\) Finally, we get the torque as: \(\tau =\frac{\pi}{360}~N~m\) The torque acting on the disc after \(15\) seconds is \(\frac{\pi}{360}~N~m\).
