[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

A square loop, side a , resistance R , lies a distance from an infinite straight wire that carries current l (Fig. 7.29). Now someone cuts the wire, so l drops to zero. In what direction does the induced current in the square loop flow, and what total charge passes a given point in the loop during the time this current flows? If you don't like the scissors model, turn the current down gradually:

I(t)={(1-t)I0for0≤t≤1/afort>/a

Short Answer

Expert verified

The charge passing through the given point in the loop is-μ0al2Ï€¸élns+as and direction of the induced current is counter clockwise.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The side of the square loop is a.

The resistance of the loop is R.

The current in the infinite straight wire is l.

The distance between the square loop and straight wire is s.

02

Determine the direction of the current and charges passes through the given point in the loop.

Let’s assume the small element dx on square loop and the distance between the small element and straight wire is x.

The area of the small strip of the square loop is given by,

dA=adx

The magnetic field in the lone wire is given by,

B=μ0l2Ï€³æ

According to the Faraday’s law, the expression for the flux is given by,

ϕ=∫B.dA

Substitute μ0l2Ï€³æfor B and adx for dA into above equation.

Ï•=∫sS+aμ0l2Ï€³æ.adxÏ•=μ0la2π∫sS+a1xdxÏ•=μ0la2Ï€in(s+a)-ln(s)Ï•=μ0la2Ï€lns+as

According to the Faraday’s law the generated emf is given by,

e=-dϕdt

Substitute μ0la2πlns+asforϕinto above equation.

e=-ddtμ0la2πlns+ase=-μ0la2πlns+asdldt

The current in term of charge is given by,

l=dQdt …… (1)

The current in terms of resistance and voltage is given by,

l=εR …… (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2).

dQdt=εR

Substitute -μ0a2πlns+asdldtfor einto above equation.

dQdt=-1R×μ0a2Ï€lns+asdldtdQ=-1R×μ0a2Ï€lns+asdlQ=-μ0a2Ï€¸élns+as

The field of the square loop is out of the page therefore the current direction must be out of page. Hence the induced current flows counter clockwise.

Hence the charge passing through the given point in the loop is-μ0al2Ï€¸élns+as and direction of the induced current is counter clockwise.

The magnetic field outside a long straight wire carrying a steady current I is

B=μ02πIsϕ^

The electric field inside the wire is uniform:

E=IÒÏÏ€a2z^,

Where ÒÏis the resistivity and a is the radius (see Exs. 7.1 and 7 .3). Question: What is the electric field outside the wire? 29 The answer depends on how you complete the circuit. Suppose the current returns along a perfectly conducting grounded coaxial cylinder of radius b (Fig. 7.52). In the region a < s < b, the potential V (s, z) satisfies Laplace's equation, with the boundary conditions

(i) V(a,z)=IÒÏzÏ€a2 ; (ii) V(b,z)=0

Figure 7.52

This does not suffice to determine the answer-we still need to specify boundary conditions at the two ends (though for a long wire it shouldn't matter much). In the literature, it is customary to sweep this ambiguity under the rug by simply stipulating that V (s,z) is proportional to V (s,z) = zf (s) . On this assumption:

(a) Determine (s).

(b) E (s,z).

(c) Calculate the surface charge density σ(z)on the wire.

[Answer: V=(-IzÒÏ/Ï€a2) This is a peculiar result, since Es and σ(z)are not independent of localid="1658816847863" z→as one would certainly expect for a truly infinite wire.]

Try to compute the self-inductance of the "hairpin" loop shown in Fig. 7.38. (Neglect the contribution from the ends; most of the flux comes from the long straight section.) You'll run into a snag that is characteristic of many self-inductance calculations. To get a definite answer, assume the wire has a tiny radius∈, and ignore any flux through the wire itself.

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.

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]

The current in a long solenoid is increasing linearly with time, so the flux is proportional t:.ϕ=αtTwo voltmeters are connected to diametrically opposite points (A and B), together with resistors ( R1and R2), as shown in Fig. 7.55. What is the reading on each voltmeter? Assume that these are ideal voltmeters that draw negligible current (they have huge internal resistance), and that a voltmeter register --∫abE×dlbetween the terminals and through the meter. [Answer: V1=αR1/(R1+R2). Notice that V1≠V2, even though they are connected to the same points]
