A small, 2.0-mm-diameter circular loop with R=0.020Ωis at the center of a large 100-mm-diameter circular loop. Both loops lie in the same plane. The current in the outer loop changes from +1.0Ato -1.0Ain 0.10s. What is the induced current in the inner loop?

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the inner loop, the induced current is,Iinduced=39nA.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Equating Ohm's law: 

The outer loop causes a current flowing through the inner loop. The magnetic field generated by the outer loop is calculated as follows:

B=μoI2rout

The magnetic flux via the inner loop is calculated as follows:

localid="1648903004243" Φm=BA

The induced emf, as defined by Faraday's law, is the change in magnetic flux inside the loop, and it is provided by equation.

ε=dΦmdt=AdBdt=μoA2routdIdt

We utilise Ohm's law to determine the induced current I via the inner loop, as indicated in the next equation.

localid="1648903010275" Iinduced=εR.

02

Step: 2  Finding Area of inner loop: 

To getIinducedby using expression ofξ

Iinduced=Iinduced=μoA2RroutdIdt

The rate of change of current by

localid="1648903022923" dIdt=1A−(−1A)0.10s=20A/s

The area of inner loop is

localid="1648903027017" A=πd22A=π2×10−3m22A=3.14×10−6m2.

03

Step: 3  Induced current in inner loop: 

Inserting the values of μo,A,R,routand dIdTinto the equation,

Iinduced=μoA2RroutdIdt=4π×10−7T⋅m/A3.14×10−6m22(0.020Ω)50×10−3m(20A/s)=39×10−9A=39nA.

21. Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The electric field strength1.5m from the center of the circle is4.0mV/m . At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

What is the magnetic flux through the loop shown in FIGURE EX30.7?

Experiments to study vision often need to track the movements BI0 of a subject's eye. One way of doing so is to have the subject sit in a magnetic field while wearing special contact lenses with a coil of very fine wire circling the edge. A current is induced in the coil each time the subject rotates his eye. Consider the experiment of FIGURE P30.60 in which a 20 -turn, 6.0-mm-diameter coil of wire circles the subject's cornea while a 1.0 T magnetic field is directed as shown. The subject begins by looking straight ahead. What emfis induced in the coil if the subject shifts his gaze by 5∘in0.20s?

A rectangular metal loop with 0.050 resistance is placed next to one wire of the RC circuit shown in FIGUREP30.52. The capacitor is charged to 2Vwith the polarity shown, then the switch is closed at t=0s.

a. What is the direction of current in the loop for t>0s?

b. What is the current in the loop at t=5.0μs? Assume that

only the circuit wire next to the loop is close enough to produce a significant magnetic field.

The switch in FIGURE P30.77 has been open for a long time. It is closed at t=0s.

a. After the switch has been closed for a long time, what is the current in the circuit? Call this current I0.
