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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The self-inductance of the hairpin loop isμ0πInd∈.

Step by step solution

01

write the given data from the question.

The radius of the wire is∈.

02

Calculate the self-inductance of the hairpin loop.

Let’s assume the lop carrying the current and having the length .

Consider the diagram shows current carrying loop as,

According to the Ampere’s law, the magnetic field along a closed loop is given by,

∮B×ds=μ0I

The expression for the magnetic field due to the wire is given as,

B=μ0I2πs

Here s is the distance.

The resultant field due to both the wire is given by,

BR=2B

Substitute μ0I2πsfor B into above equation.

role="math" localid="1658138349161" BR=2μ0I2πsBR=μ0Iπs

The magnetic flux is given by,

ϕ=∫∈d-∈BR.da

Substitute μ0IπsforBRandIdsfordainto above equation.

ϕ=∫∈d-∈μ0Iπs.Idsϕμ0Ilπ∫∈d-∈1S.dsϕμ0IlπIn∈d-∈ϕ=μ0IlπInd-∈∈

Sinced≫∈, therefore d-∈≈d

ϕ=μ0IlπInd∈ ….. (1)

The magnetic flux in term of inductance and current is given by,

Ï•=LI....2

Equate the equation (1) and (2),

LI=μ0IlπInd∈L=μ0IπInd∈

Hence the self-inductance of the hairpin loop isμ0IπInd∈.

Question: A capacitor C has been charged up to potential V0at time t=0, it is connected to a resistor R, and begins to discharge (Fig. 7.5a).

(a) Determine the charge on the capacitor as a function of time,Q(t)What is the current through the resistor,l(t)?

(b) What was the original energy stored in the capacitor (Eq. 2.55)? By integrating Eq. 7.7, confirm that the heat delivered to the resistor is equal to the energy lost by the capacitor.

Now imagine charging up the capacitor, by connecting it (and the resistor) to a battery of voltage localid="1657603967769" V0, at time t = 0 (Fig. 7.5b).

(c) Again, determine localid="1657603955495" Q(t)and l(t).

(d) Find the total energy output of the battery (∫Vldt). Determine the heat delivered to the resistor. What is the final energy stored in the capacitor? What fraction of the work done by the battery shows up as energy in the capacitor? [Notice that the answer is independent of R!]

A square loop of wire (side a) lies on a table, a distance s from a very long straight wire, which carries a current I, as shown in Fig. 7.18.

(a) Find the flux of B through the loop.

(b) If someone now pulls the loop directly away from the wire, at speed, V what emf is generated? In what direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) does the current flow?

(c) What if the loop is pulled to the right at speed V ?

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]

A long solenoid of radius a, carrying n turns per unit length, is looped by a wire with resistance R, as shown in Fig. 7.28.

(a) If the current in the solenoid is increasing at a constant rate (dl/dt=k),, what current flows in the loop, and which way (left or right) does it pass through the resistor?

(b) If the currentlin the solenoid is constant but the solenoid is pulled out of the loop (toward the left, to a place far from the loop), what total charge passes through the resistor?

Question: An infinite wire carrying a constant current in the direction is moving in the direction at a constant speed . Find the electric field, in the quasistatic approximation, at the instant the wire coincides with the axis (Fig. 7.54).
