a)ub=34.2Jm3b)ub=4.94×10-2J

Step by step solution

01

Given

i) Length of solenoidL=85.0cm=85.0×10-2m

ii) Number of turns N = 950

iii) Current in the wire i = 6.60 A

iv) Cross-sectional area of the solenoidA=17.0cm2=17.0×10-4m2

Understanding the concept

From the given total number of turns of wire, we can find the number of turns per meter. Using this number of turns into the formula of magnetic energy density, we can find the energy density of the magnetic field inside the solenoid. As the magnetic field is uniform inside the solenoid, using this calculated magnetic energy density and the given cross-sectional area and length of the solenoid, we can find the energy stored in the solenoid.

Formula:

uB=12μ0n2i2UB=uBV

03

(a) Calculate the energy density of the magnetic field inside the solenoid

Theenergy density of the magnetic field inside the solenoidis given by

uB=12μ0n2i2

Here, we have

n=NL=950turns85.0×10-2m=1.118×103m-1ThereforeuB=124π×10-7Hm1.118×103m-126.60A2uB=34.2Jm3

Therefore, the energy density of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is34.2J/m3

(b) Find the total energy stored in the magnetic field there 

The energy stored in the solenoid is given by

UB=uBVV=AL=17.0×10-4m285.0×10-2mV=1.45×10-3m3uB=34.2Jm31.45×10-3m3uB=4.94×10-2J

Therefore, the total energy stored in the magnetic field is 4.94×10-2J.

Figures 30-32 give four situations in which we pull rectangular wire loops out of identical magnetic fields page) at the same constant speed. The loops have edge lengths of either L or 2L, as drawn. Rank the situations according to (a) the magnitude of the force required of us and (b) the rate at which energy is transferred from us to the thermal energy of the loop greatest first.

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?

Question: In Figure, two straight conducting rails form a right angle. A conducting bar in contact with the rails starts at the vertex at time t = 0and moves with a constant velocity of 5.20m/salong them. A magnetic field with B = 0.350 Tis directed out of the page. (a) Calculate the flux through the triangle formed by the rails and bar atT = 3.00S. (b) Calculate the emf around the triangle at that time. (c) If the emf isε=atn, where a and n are constants, what is the value of n?

The switch in the circuit of Fig. 30-15 has been closed on a for a very long time when it is then thrown to b. The resulting current through the inductor is indicated in Fig. 30-28 for four sets of values for the resistance R and inductance L: (1) R=R0, (2) 2R0=R, (3) R0and2L0 , (4) 2R0and2L0. Which set goes with which curve?

Two coils connected as shown in Figure separately have inductances L1 and L2. Their mutual inductance is M. (a) Show that this combination can be replaced by a single coil of equivalent inductance given by

Leq=L1+L2+2M

(b) How could the coils in Figure be reconnected to yield an equivalent inductance of

Leq=L1+L2-2M

(This problem is an extension of Problem 47, but the requirement that the coils be far apart has been removed.)
