Derive an expression for the current in a system like that in figure below, under the following conditions. The resistance between the rails is R , the rails and the moving rod are identical in cross section A and have the same resistivity ÒÏ. The distance between the rails is l, and the rod moves at constant speed v perpendicular to the uniform field B. At time zero, the moving rod is next to the resistance R.

The expression isIt=ABLvAR+ÒÏL+vt

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Definition of Lenz’s law

According to Lenz, the direction of induced emf and hence the direction of the induced current is such that it will oppose the motion of the conductor in the external field.

02

Deriving the equation for intensity

The current (I) can be calculated using Ohm's law, as-

I(t)=εtR(t)

Where εis emf and R is Resistance.

The emf εwill be given as

εt=BLv

The resistance (R) of the metal structure, which means,

Rt=R+ÒÏL+vtA

Combining the two expressions, we get,

I(t)=BLvR+ÒÏL+vtA

The above equation can further be expressed as-

It=ABLvAR+ÒÏL+vt

This is the required expression.

An RC circuit consists of a\(40.0{\rm{ }}\Omega \)resistor and a\(5.00{\rm{ }}\mu F\)capacitor.

(a) Find its impedance at\(60.0{\rm{ }}Hz\)and\(10.0{\rm{ }}kHz\).

(b) Compare these values of\(Z\)with those found in Example\(23.12\), in which there was also an inductor.

(a) A car generator turns at \({\rm{400 rpm}}\) when the engine is idling. Its\({\rm{300 - turn}}\), \({\rm{5}}{\rm{.00}}\)by \({\rm{8}}{\rm{.00 cm}}\) rectangular coil rotates in an adjustable magnetic field so that it can produce sufficient voltage even at low rpms. What is the field strength needed to produce a \({\rm{24}}{\rm{.0 V}}\) peak emf? (b) Discuss how this required field strength compares to those available in permanent and electromagnets.

A large superconducting magnet, used for magnetic resonance imaging, has a \(50.0{\rm{ }}H\) inductance. If you want current through it to be adjustable with a \(1.00{\rm{ }}s\) characteristic time constant, what is the minimum resistance of system?

A short circuit to the grounded metal case of an appliance occurs as shown in Figure \({\rm{23}}{\rm{.60}}\). The person touching the case is wet and only has a \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.00 k\Omega }}\) resistance to earth/ground.

(a) What is the voltage on the case if \({\rm{5}}{\rm{.00 mA}}\) flows through the person?

(b) What is the current in the short circuit if the resistance of the earth/ground wire is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.200 \Omega }}\)?

(c) Will this trigger the \({\rm{20}}{\rm{.0 A}}\) circuit breaker supplying the appliance?

(a) An MRI technician moves his hand from a region of very low magnetic field strength into an MRI scanner’s 2.00 T field with his fingers pointing in the direction of the field. Find the average emf induced in his wedding ring, given its diameter is 2.20 cm and assuming it takes 0.250 s to move it into the field. (b) Discuss whether this current would significantly change the temperature of the ring.
