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.

Step by step solution

01

Energy in magnetic fields

When the current is supplied to a circuit in a magnetic field, then it moves against the direction of the back emf.

The work done by a charge in moving against the back emf of the circuit is described as the ‘energy in the magnetic field’.

02

Step 2(a): The current at any subsequent time

Using Ohm’s law, the formula for the initial current of the circuit is given by,

I0=ε0R

The formula for the Induced emf in the circuit is given by,

-LdIdt=IRdIdt=-RLI

Then the expression for the current in the circuit as a function of the subsequent time is given by,

I=I0e-RtLI(t)=ε0Re-RtL

Hence, the current at any subsequent time isI(t)=ε0Re-RtL.

03

Step 3(b): The total energy delivered to the resistor

The formula for the power due to the resistance of the circuit is given by,

P=I2RP=ε0Re-RtL2RP=ε0R2e-2RtLRP=ε02R2e-2RtLR

Rewrite the equation as:

P=ε02Re-2RtL

Similarly, the formula for the power required by the charge to move against the emf is given by,

P=dWdtdW=PdtdW=ε02Re-2RtLdt

Here, W is the work done or the energy delivered to the resistor.

Integrating both sides,

W=ε02R∫0∞e-2RtLdtW=ε02R-L2Re-2RtL0∞W=ε02R0+L2RW=12Lε0R2

Hence, the energy delivered to the resistor is12Lε0R2.

04

Step 4(c): The energy originally stored in the inductor

Using the energy formula, the expression for theenergy originally stored in the inductor is given by,

W0=12LI02W0=12Lε0R2

Comparing the energydelivered to the resistor with the energy originally stored in the inductor,

W=W0

Hence, the energy delivered to the resistor is equal to the energy originally stored in the inductor.

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.]

An infinite wire runs along the z axis; it carries a current I (z) that is a function ofz(but not of t ), and a charge density λ(t) that is a function of t (but not of z ).

(a) By examining the charge flowing into a segment dz in a time dt, show that dλ/dt=-di/dz. If we stipulate that λ(0)=0and I(0)=0, show that λ(t)=kt, I(z)=-kz, where k is a constant.

(b) Assume for a moment that the process is quasistatic, so the fields are given by Eqs. 2.9 and 5.38. Show that these are in fact the exact fields, by confirming that all four of Maxwell's equations are satisfied. (First do it in differential form, for the region s > 0, then in integral form for the appropriate Gaussian cylinder/Amperian loop straddling the axis.)

A square loop of wire, of side a, lies midway between two long wires,3aapart, and in the same plane. (Actually, the long wires are sides of a large rectangular loop, but the short ends are so far away that they can be neglected.) A clockwise current Iin the square loop is gradually increasing: role="math" localid="1658127306545" dldt=k(a constant). Find the emf induced in the big loop. Which way will the induced current flow?

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.

Suppose

E(r,t)=14πε0qr2θ(r−υt)r^; B(r,t)=0

(The theta function is defined in Prob. 1.46b). Show that these fields satisfy all of Maxwell's equations, and determine ÒÏ and J. Describe the physical situation that gives rise to these fields.
