A Radio Inductor. You want the current amplitude through a 0.450-mH inductor (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to be 1.80 mA when a sinusoidal voltage with amplitude 12.0 V is applied across the inductor. What frequency is required?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required frequency of the ac source is 2.36 MHz.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

An inductor is a passive two-terminal device that stores energy in a magnetic field when current passes through it.

The amplitude of voltage, V = 12.0 V

The amplitude of current, I = 1.80 mA

The inductance of the coil, L = 0.450 mH

02

Determination of frequency

Equation for voltage across the inductor –

VL=1ωLVL=I2πfLf=VL2πILf=12.0V2π1.80*10-3A*0.450*10-3Hf=2.36*106Hz

Therefore, the required frequency of the ac source is 2.36 Mega-Hertz.

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 Ω resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).

CALC The region between two concentric conducting spheres with radii and is filled with a conducting material with resistivity ρ. (a) Show that the resistance between the spheres is given by

R=ρ4π(1a-1b)

(b) Derive an expression for the current density as a function of radius, in terms of the potential differenceVab between the spheres. (c) Show that the result in part (a) reduces to Eq. (25.10) when the separation L=b-abetween the spheres is small.

Each of the lettered points at the corners of the cube in Fig. Q27.12 represents a positive charge qmoving with a velocity of magnitude vin the direction indicated. The region in the figure is in a uniform magnetic field , parallel to the x-axis and directed toward the right. Which charges experience a force due to B? What is the direction of the force on each charge?

Lightning Strikes. During lightning strikes from a cloud to the

ground, currents as high as 25,000 A can occur and last for about 40 ms.

How much charge is transferred from the cloud to the earth during such a

strike?

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300keVis 16.0cm. You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy 300keV. An alpha particle has chargeq=+2e and mass m=6.64×10-27kg. If the magnetic filed isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?
