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

FIGURE shows a U-shaped conducting rail that is oriented vertically in a horizontal magnetic field. The rail has no electric resistance and does not move. A slide wire with mass mand resistance Rcan slide up and down without friction while maintaining electrical contact with the rail. The slide wire is released from rest.

a. Show that the slide wire reaches a terminal speed vterm, and find an expression forvterm .

b. Determine the value of vtermif l=20cm,m=10g,R=0.10Ωand B=0.50T

An 8.0cm×8.0cmsquare loop is halfway into a magnetic CALC field perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The loop's mass is and its resistance is 0.010Ω. A switch is closed at t=0s, causing the magnetic field to increase from0to1.0Tin0.010s .
