Short Answer

(a) the rate of change of flux through a circle with radius r1 inside the solenoid, normal to the axis of the solenoid, and with centre on the solenoid axis is dϕBdt=πr2dBdt

(b) the magnitude of the induced electric field inside the solenoid, at a distance r1 from its axis isE=r12dBdt

(c) the magnitude of the induced electric field outside the solenoid, at a distance r2 from the axis isE=R22r2dBdt

(d) Graph the magnitude of the induced electric field as a function of the distance r from the axis fromr=0tor=2R is given below:

(e) the magnitude of the induced emf in a circular turn of radiusthat has its centre on the solenoid axis isε=πR24dBdt

(f) is the magnitude of the induced emf if the radius in part e isε=πR22dBdt

(g) the induced emf if the radius in part (e) is 2R isε=πR2dBdt

Step by step solution

01

rate of change of flux through a circle of radius r_1

The rate of change of flux is given by:

dϕBdt=AdBdt=πr12dBdtdϕBdt=πr12dBdt

Now, according to the faradays law we get:

ε=Edl¯=dϕBdt

Now, the magnetic flux is:ϕ=AB=πr12B

Now, integrating LHS gives:

Edl=E2πr1

Therefore:

E2πr1=dBπr12dt=πr12dBdt

Or

E=r12dBdt

The direction of the induced electric field is clockwise.

02

Calculating for the flux for r_2

Since all flux is within r>R then the magnetic field within r_2>R is:

ϕ=AB=πR2B

Integrating LHS we get:

E(dl)=E(2πr2),E2πr2=πR2dBdt

So

E=R22r2dBdt

03

Graph

To draw the graph of the magnitude of the induced electric field as a function as a function of the distance r from the axis r=0tor=2r. Is shown below:

04

Calculating the rest emfs

To calculate the induced emf in the circular turn radiusr=R/2. We can use the equation used above withr1R/2

ε=π(R/2)2dBdt=πR24dBdtε=πR24dBdt

Now, the magnitude of the induced emf in a circular turn of radiusr=R. we use:

ε=πR24dBdt

Finally, we need to calculate the magnitude of the induced emf in a circular turn of radiusr=2R. All the flux is withinr<R, therefore:

ε=dϕBdt=πR2dBdt

Therefore, the induced emf isπR2dBdt.

An electron at pointAinFig. E27.15has a speedv0of1.41×106m/sFind (a) the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field that will cause the electron to follow the semicircular path fromAtoB, and (b) the time required for the electron to move fromAtoB.

Batteries are always labeled with their emf; for instances an AA flashlight battery is labelled “ 1.5 V ”. Would it also be appropriate to put a label on batteries starting how much current they provide? Why or why not?

A light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb. (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical. Compared to bulb A, does bulb B glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning. (b) Bulb B is removed from the circuit and the circuit is completed as shown in Fig. Q25.14b. Compared to the brightness of bulb A in Fig. Q25.14a, does bulb A now glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning

Section 27.2 describes a procedure for finding the direction of the magnetic force using your right hand. If you use the same procedure, but with your left hand, will you get the correct direction for the force? Explain.

You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,
