Chapter 19: Problem 54

In an electric motor, a coil with 100 turns of radius \(2.0 \mathrm{cm}\) can rotate between the poles of a magnet. The magnetic field strength is $0.20 \mathrm{T}\(. When the current through the coil is \)50.0 \mathrm{mA},$ what is the maximum torque that the motor can deliver?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The maximum torque that the motor can deliver is approximately 0.00126 Nm.

Step by step solution

01

Convert given values to SI units.

First, convert the given values to the SI units: the current I = 50.0 mA = 0.050 A, and the radius r = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m.
02

Calculate the area of the coil.

The area of the coil can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr², where r is the radius of the coil. With the radius given as 0.02 m, we can calculate the area as follows: A = π(0.02 m)² ≈ 0.00126 m².
03

Calculate the maximum torque.

Now we can calculate the maximum torque using the formula: Torque = N * I * A * B * sin(theta). With theta = 90 degrees, sin(theta) = 1. Using the values we have, we can calculate the torque: Torque = (100 turns)(0.050 A)(0.00126 m²)(0.20 T)(1) ≈ 0.00126 Nm. The maximum torque that the motor can deliver is approximately 0.00126 Nm.

In a simple model, the electron in a hydrogen atom orbits the proton at a radius of \(53 \mathrm{pm}\) and at a constant speed of $2.2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ The orbital motion of the electron gives it an orbital magnetic dipole moment. (a) What is the current \(I\) in this current loop? [Hint: How long does it take the electron to make one revolution?] (b) What is the orbital dipole moment IA? (c) Compare the orbital dipole moment with the intrinsic magnetic dipole moment of the electron $\left(9.3 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)$
The conversion between atomic mass units and kilograms is $$1 \mathrm{u}=1.66 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{kg}$$ A sample containing sulfur (atomic mass 32 u), manganese \((55 \mathrm{u}),\) and an unknown element is placed in a mass spectrometer. The ions have the same charge and are accelerated through the same potential difference before entering the magnetic field. The sulfur and manganese lines are separated by \(3.20 \mathrm{cm},\) and the unknown element makes a line between them that is \(1.07 \mathrm{cm}\) from the sulfur line. (a) What is the mass of the unknown clement? (b) Identify the element.
In a certain region of space, there is a uniform electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{E}}=2.0 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\) to the east and a uniform magnetic field \(\overline{\mathbf{B}}=0.0050 \mathrm{T}\) to the west. (a) What is the electromagnetic force on an electron moving north at \(1.0 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?(\mathrm{b})\) With the electric and magnetic fields as specified, is there some velocity such that the net electromagnetic force on the electron would be zero? If so, give the magnitude and direction of that velocity. If not, explain briefly why not.
In a certain region of space, there is a uniform electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{E}}=3.0 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\) directed due east and a uniform magnetic field \(\mathbf{B}=0.080\) T also directed due east. What is the electromagnetic force on an electron moving due south at \(5.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?\)
The strip in the diagram is used as a Hall probe to measure magnetic fields. (a) What happens if the strip is not perpendicular to the field? Does the Hall probe still read the correct field strength? Explain. (b) What happens if the ficld is in the plane of the strip?
