A circular loop made from a flexible, conducting wire is shrinking. Its radius as a function of time is r=r0eβt. The loop is perpendicular to a steady, uniform magnetic field B. Find an expression for the induced emf in the loop at time t.

Short Answer

Expert verified

At time t, the solution for the induced emf in the loop isε=-2πro2βBe-2βt

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Electromagnetic field:

The electromagnetic effect on moving electric charges, electromagnetic fields, and magnetic materials is represented by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. In a magnetic flux, a moving charge generates a force that is perpendicular to both its own velocity and the magnetosphere.

From Faraday's law,

ε=dΦmε.

02

Step: 2 Amount of Magnetic field

Where Φmis the flux through the loop which is the amount of magnetic field that flows through a loop of area localid="1648957060866" Aand it is given by

Φm=BA

Let us use this expression of localid="1648957068013" Φminto equation to get

ε=d(BA)dt=BdAdt.

03

Step: 3 Induced emf:

The radius of the loop rchanges with time and we are given it in terms of time in the form

r=roe-βt

The area of the circular loop is calculated by

A=πr2=πroe-βt2=πro2e-2βt

Now, we use the expression of Ainto equation and differentiate this equation to get the emf by

ε=BdAdt=Bddtπro2e-2βtε==Bπro2(-2β)e-2βtε=-2πro2βBe-2βt.

A 3.0-cm-diameter, 10-turn coil of wire, located at z=0in thexy-plane, carries a current of 2.5A.A2.0-mm-diameter conducting loop with 2.0*10-4resistance is also in the xyplane at the center of the coil. At t=0s, the loop begins to move along the z-axis with a constant speed of 75m/s. What is the induced current in the conducting loop att=200ms?The diameter of the conducting loop is much smaller than that of the coil, so you can assume that the magnetic field through the loop is everywhere the on-axis field of the coil.

The loop in FIGURE EX30.13 is being pushed into the magnetic field at . The resistance of the loop is0.10Ω. What are the direction and the magnitude of the current in the loop?

I A potential difference of 0.050Vis developed across the localid="1650925760420" 10cmlong wire of FIGURE EX30.2 as it moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to the page. What are the strength and direction(in or out) of the magnetic field?

I Electricity is distributed from electrical substations to neighborhoods at 15,000 V. This is a 60Hzoscillating (AC) voltage. Neighborhood transformers, seen on utility poles, step this voltage down to the 120Vthat is delivered to your house.

a. How many turns does the primary coil on the transformer have if the secondary coil has 100 turns?

b. No energy is lost in an ideal transformer, so the output power Poutfrom the secondary coil equals the input power Pin to the primary coil. Suppose a neighborhood transformer delivers 250A at120V. What is the current in the 15,000V line from the substation?

The rectangular loop in FIGURE has 0.020Ωresistance. What is the induced current in the loop at this instant?
