91Ó°ÊÓ

A closely wound search coil (see Exercise 29.3) has an area of 3.20cm2, 120 turns, and a resistance of 60.0 Ω. It is connected to a charge-measuring instrument whose resistance is 45.0 Ω. When the coil is rotated quickly from a position parallel to a uniform magnetic field to a position perpendicular to the field, the instrument indicates a charge of3.56×10-5C. What is the magnitude of the field?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the field is B=0.0973T

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic flux

Magnetic flux is expressed as;

Φ=BAcosΦ

So, here B is the magnetic field

A is area.

02

Magnitude of the field

Consider a search coil, which is used to determine the strength of a magnetic field. The coil's plane is initially held perpendicular to a magnetic field. The coil is then quickly rotated a quarter turn around a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field, reducing the flux through the coil from its maximum value to zero in a short period of time.

ΦB,i=BAcosϕ=BAΦB,f=0

The magnitude of the average emf induced in the coil equals the flux change divided by the time required to go from the initial flux to the final flux and multiplied by the number of turns N;

εav=NΦBf-ΦBi∆t=NBA∆t

The induced current equals the induced emf divided by the resistance of the search coil, that is,

l=ε=avR=NBAR∆t

So, the total charge flow is;

Q=l∆t=NBAR∆t∆t=NBARQ=NBAR

Hence, the total charge flow isNBAR

03

Magnitude of the field

Coil areaA=3.20cm2

Number of turns N=120

Resistance is 60Ωand as it connected to a charge-measuring instrument whose resistance is45Ω

Thus, the total resistance is R=105Ω

On putting the values,

B=QRNA=3.56×10-5C105.0Ω1203.20×10-4m2B=0.0937T

Hence, the magnitude of the field is B=0.0973T

At the bottom of the shaft, the ball suddenly enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field that has magnitude 0.300 T and direction from east to west. If air resistance is negligibly small, find the magnitude ond direction of the force that this magnetic field exerts on the ball just as it enters the field.
