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.

Short Answer

(a) The mutual inductance of the wire loops isM=μ04Ï€°ù33a1.r^a2.r^-a1.a2.

(b) The work done is w=μ04Ï€°ù33m1.r^m2.r^-m1.m2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The area of the first wire loop is, a1 .

The area of the second wire loop is, a2.

The distance between the centres of both wire loops is,r .

The current flowing the first loop is, l2.

The current flowing the second loop is,l2 .

02

Mutual inductance

Consider for two conducting wire loops are kept near to each other and current is supplied to one wire loop then because of ‘mutual inductance’ a certain amount of emf is produced in the second loop.

In case of mutual inductance in two wire loops, the work done against the induced emf in one loop to keep the current flowing is always negative.

Step 3(a): Determine the mutual inductance of the wire loops

According to the Eq. 5.88, the formula for the magnetic field in the polar coordinate form is given by,

Bdipr=∇×ABdipr=μ0m4Ï€°ù32cosθr^+sinθθ^

The magnetic field of a dipole can be written in coordinate free form as,

Bdipr=μ014Ï€°ù33m.r^r^-m

For wire loop having area , the magnetic field in the first loop is given by,

B1=μ014Ï€°ù33m1.r^r^-m1

Putting magnetic dipole moment value in expression,

B1=μ014Ï€°ù33l1a1.r^r^-m1B1=μ014Ï€°ù33a1.r^r^-a1

The formula for the magnetic flux produced in the second wire loophaving area, due to the magnetic field in the first loop is given by,

Φ2=B1.a2Φ2=μ04π1r3l13a1.r^r^-a1.a2Φ2=μ04π1r3l13a1.r^r^-a1.a2

Also, the formula for the mutual inductance in the second loop is given by,

Φ2=Ml1

Equating both values,

Ml1=μ0l14Ï€°ù33a1.r^a1.r^-a1.a2Ml1=μ0l14Ï€°ù33a1.r^a1.r^-a1.a2

Hence, the mutual inductance of the wire loops is

Ml1=μ0l14Ï€°ù33a1.r^a1.r^-a1.a2

Step 4(b): Work done against the mutual emf

The formula for the amount of emf induced in the first loop due to mutual inductance is given by,

ε1=-Mdl2dt

The formula for the amount of emf induced in the first loop due to mutual inductance is given by,

dWdt=-ε1l1

Negative sign indicates that work done is against the mutual emf in the first loop.

dWdt1=-Ml1dl2dtdWdt1=-Ml1dl2dt

Integrating both sides,

W1=Ml1l2

Putting the value of from equation (1),

localid="1658216632188" W1=μ04Ï€°ù33a1.r^a1.r^-a1.a2l1l2W1=μ04Ï€°ù33l1a1.r^l1a1.r^-l1a1.l2a2

Putting l1a1=mand l2a2=m2in the expression,

localid="1658216868994" W1=μ04Ï€°ù33m1.r^m2.r^-m1.m2

Hence, the work done against the mutually induced emf in the loop 1 is

W1=μ04Ï€°ù33m1.r^m2.r^-m1.m2

The Eq. 6.35 is given as, the energy required for loop 1 is given by,

U=μ04Ï€°ù3m1.m2-3m2.r^m2.r^

ComparingtheequationfortheworkdonewithEq.6.35,

U=-W

The energy required to keep the current flowing in the first loop is equal to the negative value of work done against the mutually induced emf in the first loop

Two long, straight copper pipes, each of radius a, are held a distance 2d apart (see Fig. 7.50). One is at potential V0, the other at -V0. The space surrounding the pipes is filled with weakly conducting material of conductivity σ. Find the current per unit length that flows from one pipe to the other. [Hint: Refer to Prob. 3.12.]

Question:A long cable carries current in one direction uniformly distributed over its (circular) cross section. The current returns along the surface (there is a very thin insulating sheath separating the currents). Find the self-inductance per unit length.

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 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 ?

Question: Suppose j(r)is constant in time but ÒÏ(r,t)is not-conditions that

might prevail, for instance, during the charging of a capacitor.

(a) Show that the charge density at any particular point is a linear function of time:

ÒÏ(r,t)=ÒÏ(r,0)+ÒÏ(r,0)t

whereÒÏ(r,0)is the time derivative of at . [Hint: Use the continuity equation.]

This is not an electrostatic or magnetostatic configuration: nevertheless, rather surprisingly, both Coulomb's law (Eq. 2.8) and the Biot-Savart law (Eq. 5.42) hold, as you can confirm by showing that they satisfy Maxwell's equations. In particular:

(b) Show that

B(r)=μ04π∫J(r')×r^r2dτ'

obeys Ampere's law with Maxwell's displacement current term.
