Chapter 4: 44E. (page 950)

Both circular coils A and B (Fig. E27.44) have area\(A\)and\(N\)turns. They are free to rotate about a diameter that coincides with the\(x\)axis. Current\(I\)circulates in each coil in the direction shown. There is a uniform magnetic field\(\vec B\)in the\( + z\)direction.

(a) What is the direction of the magnetic moment\(\vec \mu \)for each coil?

(b) Explain why the torque on both coils due to the magnetic field is zero, so the coil is in rotational equilibrium.

(c) Use Eq. (27.27) to calculate the potential energy for each coil.

(d) For each coil, is the equilibrium stable or unstable? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Magnetic moment in coil A is directed along \( - z\) axis and the magnetic moment in B is directed along \( + z\) axis.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Area of each coil is\(A\).

Number of turns of each coil is \(N\).

Current in each coil is \(I\).

Direction of magnetic field \(\vec B\) is \( + z\).

02

Direction of magnetic moment

The direction of magnetic moment can be obtained from the right hand rule. If the four fingers are closed in the direction of the rotating current, the open thumb points in the direction of the magnetic moment.

03

(a) Determination of magnetic moment of the two coils

In coil A, the current rotates in a clockwise direction, the magnetic moment thus points in the \( - z\) direction. In coil B, the current rotates in an anti-clockwise direction, the magnetic moment thus points in the \( + z\) direction.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.

The definition of resistivity (蚁=EJ) implies that an electrical field exist inside a conductor. Yet we saw that in chapter 21 there can be no electrostatic electric field inside a conductor. Is there can be contradiction here? Explain.

Two coils have mutual inductance M=3.25脳10-4H. The current in the first coil increases at a uniform rate of 830 A/S. (a) what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the second coil? Is it constant? (b) Suppose that the current described is in the second coil rather than the first. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the first coil?

A 1.50- 渭F capacitor is charging through a 12.0-鈩� resistor using a 10.0-V battery. What will be the current when the capacitor has acquired14of its maximum charge? Will it be14of the maximum current?

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?
