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, 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.]

A circular wire loop (radius, resistance) encloses a region of uniform magnetic field,, perpendicular to its plane. The field (occupying the shaded region in Fig. 7.56) increases linearly with time. An ideal voltmeter (infinite internal resistance) is connected between pointsand.
(a) What is the current in the loop?
(b) What does the voltmeter read? [Answer: ]

Prove Alfven's theorem: In a perfectly conducting fluid (say, a gas of free electrons), the magnetic flux through any closed loop moving with the fluid is constant in time. (The magnetic field lines are, as it were, "frozen" into the fluid.)
(a) Use Ohm's law, in the form of Eq. 7.2, together with Faraday's law, to prove that if and is J finite, then
(b) Let S be the surface bounded by the loop at time t , and a surface bounded by the loop in its new position at time t+dt (see Fig. 7.58). The change in flux is
Use to show that
(Where R is the "ribbon" joining P and P' ), and hence that
(For infinitesimal dt ). Use the method of Sect. 7.1.3 to rewrite the second integral as
And invoke Stokes' theorem to conclude that
Together with the result in (a), this proves the theorem.
Electrons undergoing cyclotron motion can be sped up by increasing the magnetic field; the accompanying electric field will impart tangential acceleration. This is the principle of the betatron. One would like to keep the radius of the orbit constant during the process. Show that this can be achieved by designing a magnet such that the average field over the area of the orbit is twice the field at the circumference (Fig. 7.53). Assume the electrons start from rest in zero field, and that the apparatus is symmetric about the center of the orbit. (Assume also that the electron velocity remains well below the speed of light, so that nonrelativistic mechanics applies.) [Hint: Differentiate Eq. 5.3 with respect to time, and use .]
Question: A capacitor C has been charged up to potential at time , 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,What is the current through the resistor,?
(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" , at time t = 0 (Fig. 7.5b).
(c) Again, determine localid="1657603955495" and .
(d) Find the total energy output of the battery . 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!]
