A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal:Bt=B0cosÓ¬tz^. A circular loop of wire, of radius a/2 and resistance R , is placed inside the solenoid, and coaxial with it. Find the current induced in the loop, as a function of time.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The current induced in the loop as function of the time is B0Ӭπa24RsinӬt.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The radius of the solenoid is a .

The magnetic field inside the solenoid,Bt=B0cosÓ¬tz^

The radius of the circular wire is and resistance is R .

02

Calculate the current induced in the loop.

The area of the circular loop is given by,

A⇶Ä=Ï€(a2)2z^A⇶Ä=Ï€a24z^

The magnetic flux through the loop is given by,

Ï•=B⇶Ä.A⇶Ä

Substitute Ï€a24z^forA⇶ÄandB0cosÓ¬tz^for B into above equation.

Ï•=B0cosÓ¬tz^Ï€a24z^Ï•=B0Ï€a24cosÓ¬t

The induced emf in any closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of flux in the circuit.

εt=-dϕdt

Substitute B0πa24cosӬtfor ϕinto above equation.

role="math" localid="1657701318753" εt=-ddtB0πa24cosӬtεt=-B0πa249-sinӬtӬεt=B0Ӭπa24sinӬt

According the ohm’s law, the expression for the current is given by,

role="math" localid="1657701356450" I=εtR

Substitute role="math" localid="1657701424541" B0Ӭπa24sinӬtfor εt into above equation.

role="math" localid="1657701523568" I=B0Ӭπa24sinӬtRI=B0Ӭπa24sinӬt4R

Hence the current induced in the loop as function of the time isB0Ӭπa24sinӬt .

Electrons undergoing cyclotron motion can be sped up by increasing the magnetic field; the accompanying electric field will impart tangential acceleration. This is the principle of the betatron. One would like to keep the radius of the orbit constant during the process. Show that this can be achieved by designing a magnet such that the average field over the area of the orbit is twice the field at the circumference (Fig. 7.53). Assume the electrons start from rest in zero field, and that the apparatus is symmetric about the center of the orbit. (Assume also that the electron velocity remains well below the speed of light, so that nonrelativistic mechanics applies.) [Hint: Differentiate Eq. 5.3 with respect to time, and use .F=ma=qE]

A circular wire loop (radiusr, resistanceR) encloses a region of uniform magnetic field,B, perpendicular to its plane. The field (occupying the shaded region in Fig. 7.56) increases linearly with timeB=αt. An ideal voltmeter (infinite internal resistance) is connected between pointsPandQ.

(a) What is the current in the loop?

(b) What does the voltmeter read? [Answer: αr2/2]

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.]

Question: A rare case in which the electrostatic field E for a circuit can actually be calculated is the following: Imagine an infinitely long cylindrical sheet, of uniform resistivity and radius a . A slot (corresponding to the battery) is maintained at ±V02atϕ=±π, and a steady current flows over the surface, as indicated in Fig. 7.51. According to Ohm's law, then,

V(a,ϕ)=V0ϕ2π,(-π<ϕ<+π)

Figure 7.51

(a) Use separation of variables in cylindrical coordinates to determine V(s,Ï•) inside and outside the cylinder.

(b) Find the surface charge density on the cylinder.

Suppose the circuit in Fig. 7.41 has been connected for a long time when suddenly, at time t=0, switch S is thrown from A to B, bypassing the battery.

Notice the similarity to Eq. 7.28-in a sense, the rectangular toroid is a short coaxial cable, turned on its side.

(a) What is the current at any subsequent time t?

(b) What is the total energy delivered to the resistor?

(c) Show that this is equal to the energy originally stored in the inductor.
