Chapter 4: Q10DQ (page 980)

A square conducting loop is in a region of uniform, constant magnetic field. Can the loop be rotated about an axis along one side and no emf be induced in the loop? Discuss, in terms of the orientation of the rotation axis relative to the magnetic-field direction.

Short Answer

Expert verified

This can occur when the rotation axis is parallel to the magnetic field B→. This makes the magnetic field B→ is always perpendicular to the vector areaA→ of the loop.

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts

The entire magnetic field that travels across a particular region is measured by magnetic flux.

Magnetic flux is given by

ϕ=B→.A→

Where, B→is the magnetic field and A→is the area vector.

02

Application

This occurs when the rotation axis is parallel to the magnetic field .

This makes the magnetic field always perpendicular to the area vector .

Thus, the magnetic flux through the loop is constant and by faradays law, since there is no change in the magnetic field, there is no induced emf.

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400Ωand 800Ω. If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120Vline, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across the120Vline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?
