A square loop is cut out of a thick sheet of aluminum. It is then placed so that the top portion is in a uniform magnetic field , B and is allowed to fall under gravity (Fig. 7 .20). (In the diagram, shading indicates the field region; points into the page.) If the magnetic field is 1 T (a pretty standard laboratory field), find the terminal velocity of the loop (in m/s ). Find the velocity of the loop as a function of time. How long does it take (in seconds) to reach, say, 90% of the terminal velocity? What would happen if you cut a tiny slit in the ring, breaking the circuit? [Note: The dimensions of the loop cancel out; determine the actual numbers, in the units indicated.]

Short Answer

Calculate the terminal velocity of the loop, velocity as function of time, and time taken to reach 90% of terminal voltage.

Let assume the mass of loop is m , resistance of loop is R . length of loop is l and v is the velocity of loop.

Due the motion in the magnetic field of loop, the induced emf of loop is given by,

ε=Blv …… (1)

The induced emf in terms of current is given by,

ε=iR …… (2)

Equate the equation (1) and (2),

BIv=iRi=BIvR

The force acting on the loop in upward direction is given by,

F=Bli

Substitute BIvRfor into above equation.

F=BIBIvRF=B2I2vR

The magnetic force that is acting on the loop is balanced by the gravitations force of loop.

Fnet=Fg-Fmdvdt=mg-BI2VRdvdt=g-BI2mRv

Substitute a for B2I2mRinto above equation.

dvdt=g-αvdvg-αv=dt

Let assume,

localid="1657621271021" g-αv=u0-αdv=dudv=-duα

Substitute for and for into equation (3).

∫-duuα=∫dt∫-duuα=-a∫dtInu=-αt+InAInuA=-αt

Solve further as,

Substitute the for into equation (4).

g-av=ge-atav=g-ge-atv=gα(1-eat)

Substitute α forB2I2mRinto above equation.

V=gB2I2mR1-eatv=gmRB2I21-eat …… (5)

When the loop is move with the terminal velocity then the magnetic force is balanced by the gravitations force.

v=vt1-e-at …… (7)

The velocity at 90% of terminal velocity,v=0.90vt

Substitute 0.90vtfor v into equation (7).

0.90vt=vt1-e-at0.90=1-e-ate-at=1-0.90t=-1aIn0.1

Substitute αforB2I2mRinto above equation.

t=-1B2I2mRIn0.1t=mRB2I2n10 …… (8)

The mass of the loop is given by,

m=4nAI

Here is the mass density of the aluminium, A is the cross-sectional area and i is the length of aluminium plate andσis the conductivity of the aluminium.

The resistance of the loop is given by,

R=4IAσ

Substitute4nAIfor and 4IAσfor R into equation (8).

t=4nAI×4IAσB2I2In(10)t=16npB2In(10)

Substitute2.7×103kg/m3for n , 2.8×10-10Ωfor P and 1 T for B into above equation.

t=16×2.7×103×2.8×10-812In10t=2.785×10-3st=2.785ms

Recall equation (6)

vt=mgRB2I2

Substitute4nAIfor and4IAσfor R into above equation.

Vt=4nAI×g×4IAσB2I2Vt=16ngpB2

Substitute for 2.7×103kg/m3 for n , 2.8×10-8Ωmforp,9.8m/s2 for g and 1 T I for Bnto above equation.

vt=16×2.7×103×9.8×2.8×10-812vt=0.01185m/s

Hence the terminal velocity is0.0185m/s, velocity as function of time,vt1-e-at, and time taken to reach 90% of the terminal velocity is 2.8m/s .

Most popular questions from this chapter

Suppose the conductivity of the material separating the cylinders in Ex. 7.2 is not uniform; specifically, σ(s)=k/s, for some constant . Find the resistance between the cylinders. [Hint: Because a is a function of position, Eq. 7.5 does not hold, the charge density is not zero in the resistive medium, and E does not go like 1/s. But we do know that for steady currents is the same across each cylindrical surface. Take it from there.]

Two tiny wire loops, with areas and , are situated a displacement apart (Fig. 7 .42). FIGURE7.42


(a) Find their mutual inductance. [Hint: Treat them as magnetic dipoles, and use Eq. 5.88.] Is your formula consistent with Eq. 7.24?

(b) Suppose a current is flowing in loop 1, and we propose to turn on a current in loop 2. How much work must be done, against the mutually induced emf, to keep the current flowing in loop 1? In light of this result, comment on Eq. 6.35.

Question: A fat wire, radius a, carries a constant current I , uniformly distributed over its cross section. A narrow gap in the wire, of width w << a, forms a parallel-plate capacitor, as shown in Fig. 7.45. Find the magnetic field in the gap, at a distance s < a from the axis.

In a perfect conductor, the conductivity is infinite, so E=0(Eq. 7.3), and any net charge resides on the surface (just as it does for an imperfect conductor, in electrostatics).

(a) Show that the magnetic field is constant (∂B∂t=0), inside a perfect conductor.

(b) Show that the magnetic flux through a perfectly conducting loop is constant.

A superconductor is a perfect conductor with the additional property that the (constant) B inside is in fact zero. (This "flux exclusion" is known as the Meissner effect.)

(c) Show that the current in a superconductor is confined to the surface.

(d) Superconductivity is lost above a certain critical temperature (Tc), which varies from one material to another. Suppose you had a sphere (radius ) above its critical temperature, and you held it in a uniform magnetic field B0z^while cooling it below Tc. Find the induced surface current density K, as a function of the polar angleθ.

A small loop of wire (radius a) is held a distance z above the center of a large loop (radius b ), as shown in Fig. 7.37. The planes of the two loops are parallel, and perpendicular to the common axis.

(a) Suppose current I flows in the big loop. Find the flux through the little loop. (The little loop is so small that you may consider the field of the big loop to be essentially constant.)

(b) Suppose current I flows in the little loop. Find the flux through the big loop. (The little loop is so small that you may treat it as a magnetic dipole.)

(c) Find the mutual inductances, and confirm that M12=M21 ·
