Two identical long wires of radius a=1.53mmare parallel and carry identical currents in opposite directions. Their center-to-center separation is d=4.2cm.Neglect the flux within the wires but consider the flux in the region between the wires. What is the inductance per unit length of the wires?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Inductance per unit length of the wire,Ll=1.81×10-6H/m.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. The radius of each long wire, a=1.53×10-3m=0.153×10-2m.
  2. Center to center separation between two wires, d=14.2cm=14.2×10-2m
  3. Unit length of wire, I=1m.

Understanding the concept

The crucial step in this problem is to find the magnetic flux due to current-carrying wires. Using the flux, we can find the inductance of the given system; by dividing inductance by unit length, we will get the required answer.

Formula:

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a radial distance from the center of the long wire (inside),

B=μ0i2π·ra2

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a radial distance r from the center of the long wire r (inside)

B=μ0i2πr

Magnetic flux,

ϕB=Li

Magnetic flux due to the field across the open surface attached to the closed loop is

ϕB=∮B→·dA→

Calculate inductance per unit length of the wire.

Let’s denote two wires asw1and w2.

Now we will find B field due to wirew1and w2at point p inside w1 at distance r from the center of w1which is calculated by using amperes law

Bin=μ0i2π·ra2+μ0i2πd-r

In the above expression, first term is due to w1 and the second term is due to w2.

Similarly, we will find B field due to wire w1and w2at point p outside, at distance r from the center of w1which is calculated by using amperes law,

Bout=μ0i2πr+μ0i2πd-r

In the above expression first term is due to w1and second term is due to w2.

Total field in the region between w1 and w2 is then,

Bin+Bout=μ0i2π·ra2+μ0i2πd-r+μ0i2πr+μ0i2πd-r

Magnetic flux due tofield B is,

ϕB=ϕB1+ϕB2=∮B→·dA→=∫0d/2B·dA+∫d/2dB·dA=∫0d/2B·dA

ϕB=2∫0aBin·dA+2∫0d/2Bout·dAϕB==2∫0aμ0i2π·ra2+μ0i2πd-r·dA+2∫ad/2μ0i2πr+μ0i2πd-r·dA

Here area element is dA=ldr using this in the above equation we get,

ϕBl=2∫0aμ0i2π·ra2+μ0i2πd-r·dr+2∫ad/2μ0i2πr+μ0i2πd-r·drϕBl=μ0iπ∫0ara2+1d-r·dr+∫0d/21r+1d-r·drϕBl=μ0iπ12-lnd-ad+lnd-aa

The first two terms represent flux inside the wire which we will neglect

ϕBl=μ0iπlnd-aaLl=ϕBil=μ0lπlnd-aaLl=ϕBil=4μ04πllnd-aa=4×10-71.0ln14.2-0.1530.153=4×10-7×ln91.81

Ll=1.81×10-6H/m

Figure 30-27 shows a circuit with two identical resistors and an ideal inductor.

Is the current through the central resistor more than, less than, or the same as that through the other resistor (a) just after the closing of switch S, (b) a long time

after that, (c) just after S is reopened a long time later, and (d) a long time after that?

In Figure, a long rectangular conducting loop, of width L, resistance R, and mass m, is hung in a horizontal, uniform magnetic fieldB→that is directed into the page and that exists only above line a. The loop is then dropped; during its fall, it accelerates until it reaches a certain terminal speedvt. Ignoring air drag, find an expression forvt.


Figure shows a rod of length L = 10.0 cm that is forced to move at constant speed v = 5.0 m/s along horizontal rails. The rod, rails, and connecting strip at the right form a conducting loop. The rod has resistance 0.400Ω; the rest of the loop has negligible resistance. A current i = 100 Athrough the long straight wire at distance a = 10.0 mm from the loop sets up a (non-uniform) magnetic field through the loop. (a) Find the emf. (b) Find the current induced in the loop. c) At what rate is thermal energy generated in the rod? (d) What is the magnitude of the force that must be applied to the rod to make it move at constant speed?(e) At what rate does this force do work on the rod?

If the circular conductor in Fig. 30-21 undergoes thermal expansion while it is in a uniform magnetic field, a current is induced clockwise around it. Is the magnetic field directed into or out of the page?
