Suppose the emf of the battery in the circuit shown in Figure varies with time t so that the current is given by i(t) = 3.0 +5.0 t , where i is in amperes and t is in seconds. Take R=4.0ΩandL=5.0H, and find an expression for the battery emf as a function of t. (Hint: Apply the loop rule.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Expression for the battery emf as a function of t isε=20t+42

Step by step solution

01

Given

i) Current isit=3.0+5.0t

ii) Resistance isR=4.0Ω

iii) Inductance isL=6.0H

iv) Figure 30-16 is the RL circuit.

02

Understanding the concept

We use the concept of loop rule. Applying loop rule to the circuit, we can write the equation. Plugging the current equation, we can solve for emf.

Formulae:

ΣV=0

03

Find an expression for the battery emf as a function of t.

By applying the loop rule, we can write

ε-Ldidt-iR=0ε=Ldidt+iR

Plugging the given equation of current, we get

ε=Ld3.0+5.0tdt+3.0+5.0tRε=L5.0+3.0+5.0tR

Using the values of inductance and resistance,

ε=6.05.0+3.0+5.0t4.0ε=30+12+20tε=20t+42

A coil with 150turns has a magnetic flux of 50.0nT.m2 through each turn when the current is 2.00mA . (a) What is the inductance of the coil? What are the (b) inductance and (c) flux through each turn when the current is increased to i = 4.00mA ? (d) What is the maximum emf across the coil when the current through it is given by i= (3.00mA)cos(377 t) , with t in seconds?

A certain elastic conducting material is stretched into a circular loop of 12.0 cm radius. It is placed with its plane perpendicular to a uniform 0.800 Tmagnetic field. When released, the radius of the loop starts to shrink at an instantaneous rate of 75.0cm/s. What emf is induced in the loop at that instant?

The figure shows two parallel loops of wire having a common axis. The smaller loop (radius r) is above the larger loop (radius R) by a distancex>>R. Consequently, the magnetic field due to the counterclockwise current i in the larger loop is nearly uniform throughout the smaller loop. Suppose that x is increasing at the constant ratedxdt=v. (a)Find an expression for the magnetic flux through the area of the smaller loop as a function of x. (b)In the smaller loop, find an expression for the induced emf. (c)Find the direction of the induced current.

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?

A rectangular coil of N turns and of length a and width b is rotated at frequency f in a uniform magnetic field, as indicated in Figure. The coil is connected to co-rotating cylinders, against which metal brushes slide to make contact. (a) Show that the emf induced in the coil is given (as a function of time t) byε=2ττfNabsin(2ττft)=ε0sin(2ττft). This is the principle of the commercial alternating-current generator. (b) What value of Nabgives an emf withε0150Vwhen the loop is rotated at 60.0revs in a uniform magnetic field of 0.500 T?
