Short Answer

Expert verified

Amplitude of the emf induced in the loop isε=0.198mV

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Area of the loopA=6.8mm2=6.8×10-6m2
  2. Turns/cm in the solenoidn=854turnscm=85400turnsm
  3. Current through the solenoidI=1.69×10-8A-m
  4. Angular frequency of the current f = 212 rad/s

Determining the concept

By using the concept of the solenoid and Faraday’s law, find the amplitude of the induced emf.

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

Formulae are as follows:

B=μ0nlε=dφdtφ=ϕBdAt=1f

Where, Φis magnetic flux, B is magnetic field, A is area, lis current, 𝜀 is emf, nis number of turns, 𝜇0is permeability, t is time, f is frequency.

Determining the amplitude of the emf induced in the loop

A long, tightly wound helical coil of wire is called a solenoid.

When the current flows through the wire, the magnetic field induced inside the solenoid is given by,

B=μ0nlB=4×ττ×10-7×85400×1.28B=0.1372T.......................................................................(1)

By using the frequency of the current, find the time with which the flux is changing through the loop.

t=1ft=1212.......................................................................(2)

By Faraday’s law,

ε=dφdtφ=ϕBdA=BAε=dBAdtε=ABt

Using the value of A in equation 1 and 2,

ε=6.8×10-6×0.13721212

ε=6.8×10-6×0.1372×212ε=198.50×10-6ε=0.198×10-3Vε=0.198mV

Hence, amplitude of the emf induced in the loop is,ε=0.198mV.

Therefore, by using the concept of the solenoid and Faraday’s law, the amplitude of the induced emf can be determined.

A wire is bent into three circular segments, each of radius r=10 cm, as shown in Figure. Each segment is a quadrant of a circle, ab lying in the xy plane, bc lying in the yz plane, and ca lying in the zx plane. (a) If a uniform magnetic fieldBpoints in the positive x direction, what is the magnitude of the emf developed in the wire when B increases at the rate of 3.0 mT/s? (b) What is the direction of the current in segment bc?

The magnetic field of a cylindrical magnet that has a pole-face diameter of 3.3 cmcan be varied sinusoidally between 29.6 Tand 30.0 Tat a frequency of 15Hz. (The current in a wire wrapped around a permanent magnet is varied to give this variation in the net field.) At a radial distance of 1.6 cm, what is the amplitude of the electric field induced by the variation?

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.


A coil C of N turns is placed around a long solenoid S of radius R and n turns per unit length, as in Figure. (a) Show that the mutual inductance for the coil–solenoid combination is given by M=μ0πR2nN. (b) Explain why M does not depend on the shape, size, or possible lack of close packing of the coil.

In Figure, after switch S is closed at timet=0, the emf of the source is automatically adjusted to maintain a constant current i through S. (a) Find the current through the inductor as a function of time. (b) At what time is the current through the resistor equal to the current through the inductor?
