A thin, 50.0-cm-long metal bar with mass 750 g rests on, but is not attached to, two metallic supports in a uniform 0.450-T magnetic field, as shown in Fig. E27.37. A battery and a 25.0-Ω resistor in series are connected to the supports. (a) What is the highest voltage the battery can have without breaking the circuit at the supports? (b) The battery voltage has the maximum value calculated in part (a). If the resistor suddenly gets partially short-circuited, decreasing its resistance to 2.0 Ω, find the initial acceleration of the bar.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The highest voltage the battery can have without breaking the circuit is 817 V

(b) The initial acceleration of the bas if the battery voltage has maximum value calculated and the resistor suddenly gets short circuited is 11 m/s2

Step by step solution

01

Calculating the voltage

Given,

Length of the bar is l = 0.500m , mass m = 0.750kg , the magnetic field is B=0.450T and the resistance is R=25Ω.

We know that the magnetic force acting on a segment of a conductor is given by:

F = lLB, where I is the uniform current, L is the length of the conductor and B is the magnetic field.

The maximum magnetic force that can act on the bar without breaking the circuit is:

FB=Fg=mg=(0.750kg)9.80m/s2=7.35N

Now, putting the values in the formula we get:

I=VR=8172.0Ω

Now, putting the values in ohms law we get:

V=32.7×25=817V

Therefore, the voltage is 817 V

02

Calculating the acceleration

The current passing through the bar is:

113m/s2

= 408 A

Now,

FB=(408)(0.500)(0.4050)=91.9NApplyingtheNewtonssecondlawweget:∑Fy=FB′−Fg=maFB′−mg=FB′−FB=maa=FB′−FBm

now, putting the values we get:

a=91.9N−7.35N0.750=113m/s2

Therefore, the acceleration is113m/s2

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.

Question: A 540-Welectric heater is designed to operate from120-Vlines. (a) What is its operating resistance?(b) What current does it draw?(c) If the line voltage drops to 110 V what power does the heater take? (Assume that the resistance is constant. Actually, it will change because of the change in temperature.)(d) The heater coils are metallic, so that the resistance of the heater decreases with decreasing temperature. If the change of resistance with temperature is taken into account, will the electrical power consumed by the heater be larger or smaller than what you calculated in part (c)? Explain.

In the circuit in Fig. E25.47, find (a) the rate of conversion of internal (chemical) energy to electrical energy within the battery; (b) the rate of dissipation of electrical energy in the battery; (c) the rate of dissipation of electrical energy in the external resistor.
