Chapter 4: Q15E (page 988)

A circular loop of wire is in a region of the spatially uniform magnetic field, as shown in Fig. 29.15 . The magnetic field is directed into the plane of the figure. Determine the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the induced current in the loop when (a) B is increasing; (b) B is decreasing; (c) B is constant with value B0. Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Anti-clockwise
  2. Clockwise
  3. No induced current

Step by step solution

01

Explanation when B is increasingTop of Form

According to Lenz鈥檚 law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the cause which causes it.

When B is increasing, the direction of the induced current will be such that the magnetic field produced by it will oppose the increasing magnetic field.

Hence, the direction of the magnetic field due to the induced current should be out of the plane of the paper. The induced current will flow in the anti-clockwise direction.

02

Explanation when B is decreasing

When B is decreasing, the direction of the induced current will be such that the magnetic field produced by it will oppose the increasing magnetic field.

Hence, the direction of the magnetic field due to the induced current should be into the plane of the paper. The induced current will flow in the clockwise direction.

03

Explanation when B is constant

The flux associated with the circular loop remains constant. Thus, there is no induced current flowing through the loop.

A 10.0cm long solenoid of diameter 0.400 cm is wound uniformly with 800 turns. A second coil with 50 turns is wound around the solenoid at its center. What is the mutual inductance of the combination of the two coils?

A long, straight solenoid with a cross-sectional area of 8.00 cm2 is wound with 90 turns of wire per centimetre, and the windings carry a current of 0.350 A. A second winding of 12 turns encircles the solenoid at its centre. The current in the solenoid is turned off such that the magnetic field of the solenoid becomes zero in 0.0400 s. What is the average induced emf in the second winding?

A proton is placed in a uniform electric field and thenreleased. Then an electron is placed at this same point and released.Do these two particles experience the same force? The sameacceleration? Do they move in the same direction when released?

A parallel-plate, air-filled capacitor is being charged as in Fig. 29.23. The circular plates have radius 4.00 cm, and at a particular instant the conduction current in the wires is 0.520 A. (a) what is the displacement current densityin the air space between the plates? (b) What is the rate at which the electric field between the plates is changing? (c) What is the induced magnetic field between the plates at a distance of 2.00 cm from the axis? (d) At 1.00 cm from the axis?

Two copper wires with different diameter are joined end to end. If a current flow in the wire combination, what happens to electrons when they move from the large diameter wire into the smaller diameter wire? Does their drift speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the drift speed change, what is the role the force that causes the change? Explain your reasoning.
