An air-filled toroidal solenoid has a mean radius of15cmand a cross-sectional area of5cm2. When the current is12A, the energy stored is0.39J. How many turns does the winding have?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of turns is2580.

Step by step solution

01

The formulas used in the problem

The stored energy in the toroid solenoid is given byU=12LI2.

The self-inductance in a toroid is given byL=μ0N2A2πr.

02

Use the two equations to find the number of turns

Given thatr=15cm,A=5cm2,U=0.39JandI=12A.

Using the two equations, the number of turns can be given by

N=2πrLμ0AN=2π×0.15×5.417×10-34π×10-7×5×10-4N=2580

So, the number of turns is2580.

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?

An electrical conductor designed to carry large currents has a circular cross section 2.50 mm in diameter and is 14.0 m long. The resistance between its ends is 0.104Ω. (a) What is the resistivity of the material? (b) If the electric-field magnitude in the conductor is 1.28 V/m, what is the total current? (c) If the material has 8.5×1028free electrons per cubic meter, find the average drift speed under the conditions of part (b).

(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.

A fuse is a device designed to break a circuit, usually by melting when the current exceeds a certain value. What characteristics should the material of the fuse have?

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 Ω resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).
