91Ó°ÊÓ

A rectangular loop of wire is situated so that one end (height h) is between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor (Fig. 7.9), oriented parallel to the field E. The other end is way outside, where the field is essentially zero. What is the emf in this loop? If the total resistance is R, what current flows? Explain. [Warning: This is a trick question, so be careful; if you have invented a perpetual motion machine, there's probably something wrong with it.]


Short Answer

Expert verified

The emf inside the current is 0V and current is 0A.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question:

The electric field is E.

Th total resistance is R.

The height between the plates is h.

02

Calculate the emf in the loop and current in the loop.

The emf of the loop is given by,

ε=∫E-dI …… (1)

For all the electrostatic field, the emf is equal to zero.

Therefore,

∫E.dI=0

The electric field due to the length of the loop parallel to the capacitor plate is zero because the dI⇶Äis perpendicular to the electric field. The electric field outside the capacitor is zero. Therefore, the emf due to the wire containing the resistance is zero. The electric field is existed only because of the wire inside the capacitor and parallel to the plates.

The field inside the conductor is E=σε0

Substitute the σε0for and for into equation (1).

ε=σε0h

The electric field is not constant inside the capacitor, and due to fringing, not all the field lines are perpendicular to the field; therefore, the electrostatic field inside the capacitor becomes zero. Therefore, the emf of the loop is zero.

ε=0V

The current in the loop is given by,

I=εR

Substitute 0V for εinto above equation.

I=0RI=0A

Hence, the emf inside the current is 0V and current is 0A.

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.)

If a magnetic dipole levitating above an infinite superconducting plane (Pro b. 7 .45) is free to rotate, what orientation will it adopt, and how high above the surface will it float?

A small loop of wire (radius a) is held a distance z above the center of a large loop (radius b ), as shown in Fig. 7.37. The planes of the two loops are parallel, and perpendicular to the common axis.

(a) Suppose current I flows in the big loop. Find the flux through the little loop. (The little loop is so small that you may consider the field of the big loop to be essentially constant.)

(b) Suppose current I flows in the little loop. Find the flux through the big loop. (The little loop is so small that you may treat it as a magnetic dipole.)

(c) Find the mutual inductances, and confirm that M12=M21 ·

Find the energy stored in a section of length lof a long solenoid (radiusR, currentI, n turns per unit length),

(a) using Eq. 7.30 (you found L in Prob. 7.24);

(b) using Eq. 7.31 (we worked out A in Ex. 5.12);

(c) using Eq. 7.35;

(d) using Eq. 7.34 (take as your volume the cylindrical tube from radius a<R out to radiusb>R).
