Question: Figure 28-56 shows a homopolar generator, which has a solid conducting disk as rotor and which is rotated by a motor (not shown). Conducting brushes connect this emf device to a circuit through which the device drives current. The device can produce a greater emf than wire loop rotors because they can spin at a much higher angular speed without rupturing. The disk has radius R=0.250 mand rotation frequency f=4000Hz, and the device is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B=60.0mTthat is perpendicular to the disk. As the disk is rotated, conduction electrons along the conducting path (dashed line) are forced to move through the magnetic field. (a) For the indicated rotation, is the magnetic force on those electrons up or down in the figure? (b) Is the magnitude of that force greater at the rim or near the center of the disk? (c)What is the work per unit charge done by that force in moving charge along the radial line, between the rim and the center? (d)What, then, is the emf of the device? (e) If the current is 50.0 A, what is the power at which electrical energy is being produced?

Identification of given data

R=0.25m

f=4000Hz

B=60mT  or  60×10-3T

Significance of magnetic force

The influence of a magnetic field produced by one charge on another is what is known as the magnetic force between two moving charges.

First we use the concept of magnetic force for the direction of the electron. After that, we use the relation between angular velocity and linear velocity to find the force, and by using the force, we can find the work done. The is the work done per unit charge. Using this concept, we find the Finally, we find power, which depends on emf.

Formula:

F=qv→×B→

v=rÓ¬

Ó¬=2Ï€f

w=∫F·dr

P=εi

03

(a) Determining the magnetic force on the electron up or down in the figure

As the electron moves due to the magnetic force, the force is

F→=qv→×B→

As the field is pointing towards left, electrons, which are negatively charged, are forced to move clockwise. So using the Right Hand rule, we can conclude that the direction of the magnetic force is upwards in the figure.

04

(b) Figure out if the magnitude of that force greater at the rim or near the centre of the disk

Force depends on the velocity of a moving electron, where velocity can be written as v=rÓ¬.So the magnitude of the force depends on the radial distance. The radial distance is more at the rim, so the force is more at the rim.

05

(c) Determining the work per unit charge done by that force in moving charge along the radial line, between the rim and the center

As we know v=rÓ¬,andÓ¬=2Ï€f

Ӭ=2π×4000 Hz=8000π /s

So, the velocity of the electron isv=rÓ¬

v=0.2502×8000πv=1000π m/s

Calculate the magnitude of the force as

F=qvB=1.6×10-19 C×1000π m/s ×60×10-3 T=3.02×10-17N

Now we have to find the work done per unit charge by the formula as

wq=∫Fq·dr

wq=∫R03.02×10-17N-1.6×10-19 C·dr=3.02×10-17N-1.6×10-19 C∫R0dr=3.02×10-17N-1.6×10-19 CrR0=3.02×10-17N-1.6×10-19 C-R

By substituting the value of R, we can get

wq=188.75 N/C×0.250 m

wq=47.1 V

…(¾±)
06

(d) Determining the of the device

Now find the emf as the work done per unit charge.

ε=wq

From equation (i),

ε=47.1V

07

(e) Determining the power at which electrical energy is being produced

Power is emf times the current; therefore,

P=εi

By substituting the value, we can calculate

P=47.1  V×50 A

P=2355~2.36×103W

Figure shows a rectangular 20-turn coil of wire, of dimensions 10cmby 5.0cm. It carries a current of 010Aand is hinged along one long side. It is mounted in the x-yplane, at angle θ=300to the direction of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.50T. In unit-vector notation, what is the torque acting on the coil about the hinge line?

A stationary circular wall clock has a face with a radius of 15 cm. Six turns of wire are wound around its perimeter; the wire carries a current of 2.0 A in the clockwise direction. The clock is located where there is a constant, uniform external magnetic field of magnitude 70 mT (but the clock still keeps perfect time). At exactly 1:00 P.M., the hour hand of the clock points in the direction of the external magnetic field. (a) After how many minutes will the minute hand point in the direction of the torque on the winding due to the magnetic field? (b) Find the torque magnitude.

In (Figure (a)), two concentric coils, lying in the same plane, carry currents in opposite directions. The current in the larger coil 1 is fixed. Currentin coil 2 can be varied. (Figure (b))gives the net magnetic moment of the two-coil system as a function of i2. The vertical axis scale is set by μ(net,x)=2.0×10-5A⋅and the horizontal axis scale setby i2x=10.0mA. If the current in coil 2 is then reversed, what is the magnitude of the net magnetic moment of the two-coil system when i2=7.0mA?

Figure 28-52 gives the orientation energy Uof a magnetic dipole in an external magnetic field B→, as a function of angle ϕ between the directions B→, of and the dipole moment. The vertical axis scale is set by Us=2.0×10-4J. The dipole can be rotated about an axle with negligible friction in order that to change ϕ. Counterclockwise rotation from ϕ=0yields positive values of ϕ, and clockwise rotations yield negative values. The dipole is to be released at angle ϕ=0with a rotational kinetic energy of 6.7×10-4J, so that it rotates counterclockwise. To what maximum value of ϕwill it rotate? (What valueis the turning point in the potential well of Fig 28-52?)
