Answer

The value of the self-inductance per unit length is μ08π.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question

Consider a long cable carries current in one direction uniformly distributed over its (circular) cross-section.

02

Determine the formula of self-inductance per unit length

Write the formula ofthe energy stored in the toroidal coil.

L=μ0I8π …… (1)

Here, μ0 is permeability and data-custom-editor="chemistry" lis total current.

03

Determine the value of the self-inductance per unit length

Determine theenergy in a current carrying wire is written as follows:

12LI2

Here, L is the self-inductance of the wire and l is the current flowing through the wire.

According to Ampere’s law

∮B→·dl→=μ0Ienc

Here, B→is the magnetic field, dl→ is the length element, μ0is the permeability of the free space andIenc is the current flowing through the enclosed ampere’s loop.

Consider an Ampere’s loop of s radius.

∮B→·dI→=μ0IencB·2πs=μ0Ienc

The current per unit area, is written as follows:

J=IÏ€R2

Here, is the total current flowing the wire and is the radius of the wire.

From the above equation it follows that

Ienc=JÏ€s2=1Ï€R2Ï€s2=Isr2

Substitute Isr2 forIenc into equation B·2πs=μ0Ienc .

B·2πs=μ0Isr2B=μ0Is2πR2

Determine the energy stored in the wire is calculated as follows:

W=12μ0∫allspaceB2dτ

Here, is the surface area element.

Substitute μ0Is2πR2for and for into equation W=12μ0∫allspaceB2dτ.

Here, l is the length of the wire.

On further simplification

W=μ0I2I4πR4∫0Rs3ds=μ0I2I4πR4s440R=μ0I2l16π

The work done is also equal to 12LI.

Equating, you have

μ0I2l16π=12LI2

Determine the self-inductance per unit length.

L=μ0I8πLI=μ08π

Therefore, thevalue ofthe self-inductance per unit length is μ08π.

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal:Bt=B0cosÓ¬tz^. A circular loop of wire, of radius a/2 and resistance R , is placed inside the solenoid, and coaxial with it. Find the current induced in the loop, as a function of time.

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.

Where is ∂B∂tnonzero in Figure 7.21(b)? Exploit the analogy between Faraday's law and Ampere's law to sketch (qualitatively) the electric field.

In the discussion of motional emf (Sect. 7.1.3) Iassumed that the wire loop (Fig. 7.10) has a resistance R; the current generated is then I=vBhR. But what if the wire is made out of perfectly conducting material, so that Ris zero? In that case, the current is limited only by the back emf associated with the self-inductanceL of the loop (which would ordinarily be negligible in comparison with IR). Show that in this regime the loop (massm ) executes simple harmonic motion, and find its frequency. [Answer: Ó¬=Bh/mL].

Question: A capacitor C has been charged up to potential V0at time t=0, 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,Q(t)What is the current through the resistor,l(t)?

(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" V0, at time t = 0 (Fig. 7.5b).

(c) Again, determine localid="1657603955495" Q(t)and l(t).

(d) Find the total energy output of the battery (∫Vldt). 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!]
