In the square configuration, area covered = l2
=> Initial flux = B.A = -Bl2 (considering area vector out of the page to be +ve)
For the area of the rhombus configuration, we have:
angle opposite to
is also
and the other two remaining angles are
each.
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other and can be found using sine and cosine rule in the triangles formed by their intersection. Solving, we get:
and
Area =
Hence, Final flux cut by the rhombus = -
Change in flux = -
– (-Bl
2) =
emf induced in the coil = e =
Here, negative sign indicates that the induced emf opposes its cause according to the Lenz’s law.
Now, current induced in the coil = e/R
Since the area and hence flux(its direction out of the page) decrease current will be induced in the anticlockwise direction.
