The inductor shown in Figure has inductance 0.260 H and carries a current in the direction shown. The current is changing at a constant rate. (a) The potential between points a and b is Vab = 1.04 V, with point a at higher potential. Is the current increasing or decreasing? (b) If the current at t = 0 is 12.0 A, what is the current at t = 2.00 s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) the current is decreasing whereas the emf is directed to oppose this decrease.

b) the current at t = 2 sec is 4.00 amperes.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Faraday’s law states that a current is induced in a conductor when it is exposed to a time varying magnetic flux. This induced current is driven by a force called electromotive or electromagnetic force. The magnitude of induced emf is given by

ε=-Ldidt

Where L is the inductance of the conductor.

An inductor is a passive two-terminal device that stores energy in a magnetic field when current passes through it.

Lenz further explained the direction of this induced current. According to lens, the direction of induced current will be such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes the changing magnetic field which caused its induction.

02

Variation of current

We are given,

The inductor with an inductance, L = 0.260H

The potential between a and b, Vab= 1.04V

The induced emf is from point b to a which is same as the direction of current.

Therefore, the current is decreasing whereas the emf is directed to oppose this decrease.

03

The current at t = 2.00 s

The induced emf is given by,

EVαb=Vαb=Ldidtdidt=VabLdidt=1.04V0.26H=4.00A/s

If the current at localid="1664177006398" ti= 0 is ii= 12.0A,

The current attf= 2.00s, the rate is,

didt=if-iitf-ti=if-iitf

if=tfdidi+ii

if=2.00s-4.00A+12.0A=4.00Aif=4.00A

Therefore, the current at t = 2 sec is 4.00 amperes.

Question: The two charges q1 and q2shown in Fig. have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the net electric field due to these two charges at points A (midway between the charges), B, and C if (a) both charges are negative, (b) both charges are positive, (c) q1 is positive and q2 is negative?

Two-point charges are separated by 25.0 cm (Fig. E21.43). Find the net electric field these charges produce at (a) point A and (b) point B. (c) What would be the magnitude and direction of the electric force this combination of charges would produce on a proton at A?

Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?

Displacement Current in a Dielectric. Suppose that the parallel plates in Fig. 29.23 have an area of 3.00 cm2 and are separated by a 2.50-mm-thick sheet of dielectric that completely fills the volume between the plates. The dielectric has dielectric constant 4.70. (You can ignore fringing effects.) At a certain instant, the potential difference between the plates is 120 V and the conduction current iC equals 6.00 mA. At this instant, what are (a) the charge q on each plate; (b) the rate of change of charge on the plates; (c) the displacement current in the dielectric?

Question: In the circuit, in Fig. E26.47 the capacitors are initially uncharged, the battery has no internal resistance, and the ammeter is idealized. Find the ammeter reading (a) just after the switch S is closed and (b) after S has been closed for a very long time.
