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 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?

An alternating current I(t)=I0cos(Ӭt) (amplitude 0.5 A, frequency ) flows down a straight wire, which runs along the axis of a toroidal coil with rectangular cross section (inner radius 1cm , outer radius 2 cm , height 1 cm, 1000 turns). The coil is connected to a 500Ω resistor.

(a) In the quasistatic approximation, what emf is induced in the toroid? Find the current, IR(t), in the resistor.

(b) Calculate the back emf in the coil, due to the current IR(t) . What is the ratio of the amplitudes of this back emf and the "direct" emf in (a)?

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.

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.]

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.]
