Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The maximum electric field strength at a point 1.5cmfrom the solenoid axis is 0.3Vm.

(b) The value ofBat the instantEreaches its maximum value is10T.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We have been given that the magnetic field inside a 4.0cmdiameter solenoid varies sinusoidally between 8.0Tand 12.0Tat a frequency of 10Hz.

We need to calculate the maximum electric field strength at a point1.5cmfrom the solenoid axis.

02

Part(a) Step2: Simplify

The solenoid is the current carrying wire. The electric field circles around inside the solenoid.

So at a distance r<R,

E.ds=E(2πr)and areaA=πr2.

When magnetic field varies sinusoidally the expression for magnetic field islocalid="1650011266998" B(t)=Bc+Bosin(2πft)

Substitute 10.0Tforlocalid="1650012464363" Bc,2.0TforBoand 10Hzfor localid="1650084726782" f

B(t)=(10.0T)+(2.0T)sin(2π(10Hz)t)=(10.0T)+(2.0T)sin(20πt)

differentiate B(t)

d(B(t))dt=(40πT)cos(20πT)

Substituteπr2forlocalid="1650084219494" A,E.(2πr)for E.ds,and (40πT)cos(20πt)for d(B(t))dt

E.(2πr)=-((40πT)cos(20πt))(πr2)E=-((40πT)cos(20πt))(πr)(2π)

The electric field will be maximum when cos(20πt)=1

Substitutecos(20πt)=1rewrite the above expression in terms of Emax

Emax=((40πt)1).(πr)(2π)

Substitute,1.5cmfor localid="1650084740352" rto find Emax,

Emax=-(40πt)1.5cm1m102cm(2π)=0.3V/m

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We have been given that the magnetic field inside a 4.0cmdiameter superconducting solenoid varies sinusoidally between 8.0Tand 12.0Tat a frequency of 10Hz.

We need to find the value of Bat the instant Ereaches its maximum value.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify

The electric field reaches maximum when,
20πt=π,3π,5π,..

where sine function goes to zero,

So when electric field reaches maximum

B=Bc+B0sin(π)
=Bc
=10T

Large quantities of dust should have been left behind after the creation of the solar system. Larger dust particles, comparable in size to soot and sand grains, are common. They create shooting stars when they collide with the earth's atmosphere. But very small dust particles are conspicuously absent. Astronomers believe that the very small dust particles have been blown out of the solar system by the sun. By comparing the forces on dust particles, determine the diameter of the smallest dust particles that can remain in the solar system over long periods of time. Assume that the dust particles are spherical, black, and have a density of 2000kg/m3. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation with power 3.9×1026W.

Assume that a 7.0-cm-diameter, 100Wlight bulb radiates all its energy as a single wavelength of visible light. Estimate the electric and magnetic field strengths at the surface of the bulb.
