Step by step solution

Answer is missing

02

Understanding the concept

By using the equation 30-35 and the equation 30-40 we can find the rate of current as well as theemfin the coil at various times

Formula:

i=εR1-e-RtLεL=-Ldidt

Given

R1=20kΩR2=20ΩL=50mH=50×10-3Hε=40V

03

(a) The current through the battery at t = 0

As from the equation 30.40 the current in the inductance can be written as

i=εR1-e-RtL

Att=0the current is

i=εR1-1i=0A

04

(b) Calculate The rate of current through the battery at t = 0

According to equation 30-35 an inducedappearsin any coil in which the current is changing is

εL=-Ldidt

At thet=0emf is same as that of battery voltage so that the rate of current through the battery is

ε=-Ldibattdtdibattdt=εLdibattdt=400.050dibattdt=800A/s

05

(c) Calculate the current through the battery at t=3.0 μs

First find theequivalentresistance of the circuit,

R1AndR2are in parallel combination so that the equivalence resistance is

Req=R1R2R1+R2Req=20000×2020000+20Req=40000020020Req20Ω

From equation 30-34 we can write, the current through battery is

i=εR1-e-RtLi=εR1-e-ReqtLi=40201-e-20×3×10-60.05i=2×1-e-65i=1.39A

06

(d) Calculate the rate of current through the battery at  t=3.0 μs

The rate of change of the current is

εL=-Ldibatdtdibatdt=εLL

So we have to first find the εLas

From equation i=εReq1-e-RtLfrom the loop rule

iReq=ε-εe-RtLiReq=ε-εL0=ε-εL-iReqεL=ε-ibatReq

By substituting the value

εL=40-ibat×20εL=40-1.39×20εL=12.2V12.2=50×10-3.dibatdtdibatdt=12.250×10-3dibatdt=2.44×102A/s

07

(e) Calculate the current through the battery after a long time

Ast, the circuit reaches steady state so that the equation becomes

ibat=εR1-e-RtLibat=εR1-0ibat=εR

By substituting the value, where R is the equivalent resistance

ibat=εReqibat=2A

08

(f) Calculate the rate of current through the battery after a long time

Astthe circuit is in steady state condition so,

dibatdt=0

Question: In Figure, two straight conducting rails form a right angle. A conducting bar in contact with the rails starts at the vertex at time t = 0and moves with a constant velocity of 5.20m/salong them. A magnetic field with B = 0.350 Tis directed out of the page. (a) Calculate the flux through the triangle formed by the rails and bar atT = 3.00S. (b) Calculate the emf around the triangle at that time. (c) If the emf isε=atn, where a and n are constants, what is the value of n?

A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a circular wire loop of radius r. The magnitude of the field varies with time according toB=B0e(-tτ), whereB0andτare constants. Find an expression for the emf in the loop as a function of time.

In Figure, a long rectangular conducting loop, of width L, resistance R, and mass m, is hung in a horizontal, uniform magnetic fieldBthat is directed into the page and that exists only above line a. The loop is then dropped; during its fall, it accelerates until it reaches a certain terminal speedvt. Ignoring air drag, find an expression forvt.
