Step by step solution

01

Part (a)

The expression for current is,

I=I0etr

The expression for the potential difference,ΔVLis

ΔVL=LdIdtΔVL=LddtI0ettΔVL=LI0τett(1)

The potential difference isLI0τett

02

Part (b) 

L=20mH,τ=1.0ms andI0=50mA

At,t=0  s

ΔVL1=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e0=1000mV

At, t=1  s

ΔVL2=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e1=370mV

At,t=2  s

ΔVL3(t=2s)=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e2=140mV

At,t=3  s

ΔVL=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e3=50mV

The square loop shown inFIGUREP30.53 moves into a 0.80TALCmagnetic field at a constant speed of10m/s.The loop has a resistance of 0.10Ω, and it enters the field at t=0s.

a. Find the induced current in the loop as a function of time. Give your answer as a graph of ii versus tfrom t=0sto t=0.020s.

b. What is the maximum current? What is the position of the loop when the current is maximum?

FIGUREP30.48shows two 20-turn coils tightly wrapped on the same2.0-cm-diameter cylinder with 1.0-mm-diameter wire. The current through coil 1is shown in the graph. Determine the current in coil 2at (a) t=0.05sand (b) . A positive current is t=0.25sinto the page at the top of a loop. Assume that the magnetic field of coil localid="1648920663723" 1passes entirely through coil localid="1648920667724" 2.

56. II Your camping buddy has an idea for a light to go inside your CALC tent. He happens to have a powerful (and heavy!) horseshoe magnet that he bought at a surplus store. This magnet creates a0.20T field between two pole tips 10cmapart. His idea is to build the hand-cranked generator shown in FIGURE P30.56. He thinks you can make enough current to fully light a1.0Ωlightbulb rated at 4.0W. That's not super bright, but it should be plenty of light for routine activities in the tent.

a. Find an expression for the induced current as a function of time if you turn the crank at frequency f Assume that the semicircle is at its highest point at t=0s.

b. With what frequency will you have to turn the crank tor the maximum current to fully light the bulb? Is this feasible?
