One possible concern with MRI (see Exercise 28) is turning the magnetic field on or off too quickly. Bodily fluids are conductors, and a changing magnetic field could cause electric currents to flow through the patient. Suppose a typical patient has a maximum cross section area of 0.060m2. What is the smallest time interval in which a 5.0Tmagnetic field can be turned on or off if the induced emfaround the patient's body must be kept to less than 0.10V??

Short Answer

Expert verified

The smallest time interval,dt=3s

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: 

The emf, is specified by Faradays, is the change in magnetic flux inside the loop, and it is given

ε=dΦmdt

The flux it through loop is the measure of magnetic field that flows through a loop of area A and is given by

Φm=BA

02

Magnetic Flux

We use the expression of Φm

ε=Ad(BA)dt=AdBdt

The values we provided for A,εanddB

dt=AdBε

=0.060m2(5T)0.10V

=3s

The earth's magnetic field strength is5.0×105T . How fast would you have to drive your car to create a 1.0Vmotional emf along your 1.0m-tall radio antenna? Assume that the motion of the antenna is perpendicular toB .

75. The capacitor in FIGURE P 30.75 is initially charged to 100V, the 1200μFcapacitor is uncharged, and the switches are both open.

a. What is the maximum voltage to which you can charge the 1200μFcapacitor by the proper closing and opening of the two switches?

b. How would you do it? Describe the sequence in which you would close and open switches and the times at which you would do so. The first switch is closed at t=0s.

The magnetic field at one place on the earth's surface is 55μTin strength and tilted 60down from horizontal. A 200 turn coil having a diameter of 4.0 cm and a resistance of 2.0Ωis connected to a 1.0μFcapacitor rather than to a current meter. The coil is held in a horizontal plane and the capacitor is discharged. Then the coil is quickly rotated 180so that the side that had been facing up is now facing down. Afterward, what is the voltage across the capacitor?

To determine the inductance of an unmarked inductor, you set up the circuit shown in FIGURE. After moving the switch fromatobat t=0s, you monitor the resistor voltage with an oscilloscope. Your data are shown in the table:

Use an appropriate graph of the data to determine the inductance.

An electric generator has an 18 -cm-diameter, 120 -turn coil that rotates at 60 Hzin a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the rotation axis. What magnetic field strength is needed to generate a peak voltage of 170V?
