Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  1. Small loop areaa=2.00cm2=2.00×10-4m2
  2. Large circular loop radius R=1.00m

Determining the concept

The current is constantly changing with time. Determine the current at different time instances. For the circular loop, the magnetic field depends on the current and radius. The emf is related to the change in flux with time.

Faraday's law of electromagnetic inductionstates, Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced in it.

Formulae are as follow:

B=μ0l2Rε=-dϕdt


Where,ϕis magnetic flux, B is magnetic field, I is current, R is resistance, 𝜀 is emf, , 𝜇0is permeability.

(a) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field at t = 0s

Current in the large loop changed at constant rate from 200A to -200A in time

t = 1.00s

l=l01-2tand l0=200A
At role="math" localid="1661852445388" t=0s,l=200A

At t=0.500s,l=0.00A

At t=1.00s,l=-200A

Hence,

At t = 0s,

B=μ0l2R=4π×10-7200A21.00mB=1.26×10-4T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the small loop due to the current in the large loop at t = 0S is B=1.26×10-4T.

04

(b) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field at t = 0.500s

At t = 0.500s,

B = 0.0T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the small loop due to the current in the large loop at t = 0.500s is B = 0.0T

05

(c) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field at

At t = 1.00s,

B=μ0l2RB=4π×10-7-200A2100mB=-1.26×10-4T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the small loop due to the current in the large loop att=1.00s isB=-1.26×10-4T

06

(d) Determining is magnetic field reversed

The current changed from 200A to -200A the magnetic field has reversed from 1.26×10-4 T to-1.26×10-4T in time t = 0s to t = 1.00s.

Hence, the magnetic field is reversed.

07

(e) Determining the emf induced in the small loop at t = 0.500s

The emf induced in a small loop is given by,

ε=dϕdt

Also, the flux can be written in terms of current and loop area,

ϕ=μ0lA2R

Where, A is the area of the small loop i.e.a = 2.00×10-4m2

role="math" localid="1661853987331" ε=-dϕdtε=-ddtμ0lA2Rε=-μ0lA2Rdldtε=4π×10-72.00×10-4m2-200A-200A21.00m1.00sε=5.04×10-8V

Hence, the emf induced in the small loop at t = 0.500s is ε=5.04×10-8V.

Therefore, find the magnetic field for the circular loop at different time instances using the current at the given time and radius. The emf is determined with the change in flux.

At a given instant the current and self-induced emf in an inductor are directed as indicated in Figure. (a) Is the current increasing or decreasing? (b) The induced emf is 17 V, and the rate of change of the current is 25 KA/s; find the inductance.

A square loop of wire is held in a uniformB=0.24Tmagnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The length of each side of the square is decreasing at a constant rate of 5.0 cm/s. What emf is induced in the loop when the length is 12 cm ?

The wire loop in Fig. 30-22ais subjected, in turn, to six uniform magnetic fields, each directed parallel to the axis, which is directed out of the plane of the figure. Figure 30- 22bgives the z components Bz of the fields versus time . (Plots 1 and 3 are parallel; so are plots 4 and 6. Plots 2 and 5 are parallel to the time axis.) Rank the six plots according to the emf induced in the loop, greatest clockwise emf first, greatest counter-clockwise emf last.

Figure (a) shows, in cross section, two wires that are straight, parallel, and very long. The ratio i1/i2of the current carried by wire 1 to that carried by wire 2 is13. Wire 1 is fixed in place. Wire 2 can be moved along the positive side of the x-axis so as to change the magnetic energy density uB set up by the two currents at the origin. Figure (b) gives uB as a function of the position x of wire 2. The curve has an asymptote ofuB=1.96nJ/m3asx, and the horizontal axis scale is set byxs=60.0cm. What is the value of (a) i1 and (b) i2?

In Figure, a circular loop of wire 10 cmin diameter (seen edge-on) is placed with its normal Nat an angleθ=30°with the direction of a uniform magnetic field Bof magnitude 0.50 T. The loop is then rotated such thatrotates in a cone about the field direction at the rate 100 rev/min; angleremains unchanged during the process. What is the emf induced in the loop?
