JEE Main 2026 — 21 January, Morning Shift — Question 27

A conducting circular loop of area 1.0 m21.0 \mathrm{~m}^{2} is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field which varies as B=sin⁡(100t)\mathrm{B}=\sin (100 \mathrm{t}) Tesla. If the resistance of the loop is 100Ω100 \Omega, then the average thermal energy dissipated in the loop in one period is ____\_\_\_\_ J.

  1. Option A:

    π2\frac{\pi}{2}

  2. Option B:

    2π2 \pi

  3. Option C:

    π\pi

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    π2\pi^{2}

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Area of the loop =1 m2=1 \mathrm{~m}^{2} B=sin⁡(100t)B=\sin (100 t) ∴ϕ=BA=sin⁡(100t)\therefore \quad \phi=\mathrm{BA}=\sin (100 \mathrm{t}) ∴dϕdt=100cos⁡(100t)\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{d} \phi}{\mathrm{dt}}=100 \cos (100 \mathrm{t}) ∴P=V2R=104cos⁡2(100t)100\therefore \quad \mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{10^{4} \cos ^{2}(100 \mathrm{t})}{100} ∴\therefore \quad Thermal energy dissipated in 1 time period
