Step-by-Step Solution

To find the value of α\alpha, we analyze the electromagnetic induction in the circular loop step-by-step.

1. Calculation of the Loop's Area

The circular loop has a radius r=20 cm=0.2 mr = 20\text{ cm} = 0.2\text{ m}.
The area AA of the loop is given by: A=πr2=π(0.2)2=0.04π m2A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.2)^2 = 0.04\pi\text{ m}^2

2. Magnetic Flux and Induced EMF

The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field B\vec{B}, so the angle between the magnetic field vector and the normal to the surface of the loop is θ=0\theta = 0^\circ.

The magnetic flux Φ\Phi through the loop at any time tt is: Φ(t)=B(t)A=(2t2+2t+3)A\Phi(t) = B(t) \cdot A = (2t^2 + 2t + 3) A

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the magnitude of the induced electromotive force (EMF), ε\varepsilon, is given by: ε=dΦdt=AdBdt\varepsilon = \left| \frac{d\Phi}{dt} \right| = A \cdot \left| \frac{dB}{dt} \right|

Differentiating B(t)B(t) with respect to tt: dBdt=ddt(2t2+2t+3)=4t+2\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(2t^2 + 2t + 3) = 4t + 2

At time t=3 st = 3\text{ s}: dBdtt=3=4(3)+2=14 T/s\left. \frac{dB}{dt} \right|_{t=3} = 4(3) + 2 = 14\text{ T/s}

Substitute this into the expression for induced EMF: ε=(0.04π)×14=0.56π V\varepsilon = (0.04\pi) \times 14 = 0.56\pi\text{ V}

3. Calculation of Induced Current

Using Ohm's law, the induced current II in the loop with resistance R=2 ΩR = 2\ \Omega is: I=εR=0.56π2=0.28π AI = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{0.56\pi}{2} = 0.28\pi\text{ A}

Taking π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}: I=0.28×227=28100×227=4×22100=88100 A=4450 AI = 0.28 \times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{28}{100} \times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{4 \times 22}{100} = \frac{88}{100}\text{ A} = \frac{44}{50}\text{ A}

4. Finding α\alpha

Given that the induced current I=α50 AI = \frac{\alpha}{50}\text{ A}, comparing the expressions yields: α50=4450    α=44\frac{\alpha}{50} = \frac{44}{50} \implies \alpha = 44
