Chapter 4: Q14DQ (page 947)

A metal ring carries a current that causes a magnetic field B0at the center of the ring and a field B at point P a distance xfrom the center along the axis of the ring. If the radius of the ring is doubled, find the magnetic field at the center. Will the field at point P change by the same factor? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the field at point P does not change by the same factor. And the magnetic field at the center when radius of the loop doubledB0=12B0

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the current

The term current may be defined as the ratio of charge and time.

02

Determine the magnetic field and effect on field by the same factor.

At the center of circular current carrying wire with radius rthe magnetic field IS B0=μ0l2rand magnetic field for the distance from the center of the loop, along the axis of ring is

B=μ02Ir2r2+x23/2

And at a distance x from the center of the loop, the field is B'=μ02i2r22r2+x23/2112B

Hence,no, the field at point P does not change by the same factor. And the magnetic field at the center when radius of the loop doubled B'0=12B0.

We have seen that a coulomb is an enormous amount of charge; it is virtually impossible to place a charge of 1 C on an object. Yet, a current of 10A,10C/sis quite reasonable. Explain this apparent discrepancy.

Two coils have mutual inductance M=3.25×10-4H. The current in the first coil increases at a uniform rate of 830 A/S. (a) what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the second coil? Is it constant? (b) Suppose that the current described is in the second coil rather than the first. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the first coil?

The text states that good thermal conductors are also good electrical conductors. If so, why don’t the cords used to connect toasters, irons, and similar heat-producing appliances get hot by conduction of heat from the heating element?

A typical small flashlight contains two batteries, each having an emf of1.5V, connected in series with a bulb having resistance17Ω. (a) If the internal resistance of the batteries is negligible, what power is delivered to the bulb? (b) If the batteries last for1.5hwhat is the total energy delivered to the bulb? (c) The resistance of real batteries increases as they run down. If the initial internal resistance is negligible, what is the combined internal resistance of both batteries when the power to the bulb has decreased to half its initial value? (Assume that the resistance of the bulb is constant. Actually, it will change somewhat when the current through the filament changes, because this changes the temperature of the filament and hence the resistivity of the filament wire.)

A25.0-Ωbulb is connected across the terminals of a12.0-Vbattery having3.50Ωof internal resistance. What percentage of the power of the battery is dissipated across the internal resistance and hence is not available to the bulb?
