The 10-cm-wide, zero-resistance slide wire shown in FIGURE is pushed toward the 2.0Ωresistor at a steady speed of 0.50m/s. The magnetic field strength is 0.50T.

a. How big is the pushing force?

b. How much power does the pushing force supply to the wire?

c. What are the direction and magnitude of the induced current?

d. How much power is dissipated in the resistor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Pushing Force, F=6.25×10-4N

(b) Power, P=3×10-4W

(c) Induced current, I=12.5mAcounterclockwise

(d) Power dissipated in resistor,P=3×10-4W

Step by step solution

01

Find Pushing force (part a)

When a current-carrying wire moves throughout a magnetic field, the field imposes a magnetic force on the wire. The magnetic force exerted by a wire of length is given by the equation in the form

F=IlB

Where lis the width of the wire and I is the current in the wire. To determine the magnitude of the emf, we can restate Faraday's law using equation

ε=Blv

We use Ohm's law, to get the Induced current

I=εR=BlvR

F=IlB=BlvRlB=B2l2vR

Now, we plug the values for B,l,vand Rinto equation to get F

F=B2l2vR

=(0.50T)2(0.10m)2(0.50m/s)2Ω

=6.25×10-4N

02

Find Power 

The magnetic force allows work to be done on the wire and energy to be supplied to it. The power is expressed by the rate of work done, and the energy due to pulling force is given by equation.

P=Fpushv

we plug the values for Fpushandvinto equtaion to get P

=6.25×10-4N(0.50m/s)

=3×10-4W

03

Find induced current (part b)

To get the induced current, we plug the values for B,l,vand Rinto equation

I=BlvR

=(0.50T)(0.10m)(0.50m/s)2Ω

=12.5×10-3A

=12.5mA

The applied magnetic field strength decreases as the wire moves to the right, and according to Lenz's law, when the applied magnetic drops, the induced magnetic field in the wire moves in the same direction as the applied magnetic field, which is out of the page in this case.

The right-hand rule can be used to establish that direction of the induced current; because the magnetic field is outside of the page, your thumb will point counterclockwise.

04

Find Powe Dissipated in resistor (part c)

We use the value of the induced current and the resistance Rto get the dissipated power in the wire by

P=I2R

=12.5×10-3A2(2Ω)

=3×10-4W

The two loops of wire in FIGURE are stacked one above the other. Does the upper loop have a clockwise current, a counterclockwise current, or no current at the following times? Explain. a. Before the switch is closed.

b. Immediately after the switch is closed.

c. Long after the switch is closed.

d. Immediately after the switch is reopened.

The metal wire in FIGURE moves with speed vparallel to a straight wire that is carrying current I. The distance between the two wires isd. Find an expression for the potential difference between the two ends of the moving wire.


FIGURE EX30.5 shows a 10cm×10cmsquare bent at a 90∘angle. A uniform 0.050Tmagnetic field points downward at a 45∘angle. What is the magnetic flux through the loop?

One possible concern with MRI (see Exercise 28) is turning the magnetic field on or off too quickly. Bodily fluids are conductors, and a changing magnetic field could cause electric currents to flow through the patient. Suppose a typical patient has a maximum cross section area of 0.060m2. What is the smallest time interval in which a 5.0Tmagnetic field can be turned on or off if the induced emfaround the patient's body must be kept to less than 0.10V??

75. The capacitor in FIGURE P 30.75 is initially charged to 100V, the 1200μFcapacitor is uncharged, and the switches are both open.

a. What is the maximum voltage to which you can charge the 1200μFcapacitor by the proper closing and opening of the two switches?

b. How would you do it? Describe the sequence in which you would close and open switches and the times at which you would do so. The first switch is closed at t=0s.
