Chapter 4: Q61P (page 951)

An electric bus operates by drawing direct current from two parallel overhead cables, at a potential difference of 600 V, and spaced 55 cm apart. When the power input to the bus鈥檚 motor is at its maximum power of 65 hp, (a) what current does it draw and (b) what is the attractive force per unit length between the cables?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The current drawn by the electric bus is 80.8 A .

b) The attractive force per unit length between the cables is 2.4脳10-3N/m.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination of the current drawn by the electric bus

The expression relating power, voltage and current is,

P = VI

The power output in this case is 65 hp which is equal to 48,490 W.

Rearrange and solve for current,

I=PV=48,490W600V=80.8A

Thus, the current drawn by the electric bus is 80.8 A.

02

(b) Determination of the attractive force per unit length between the cables

The expression for attractive force between two current carrying wires is,

F=渭0LI1I22蟺r

The force per unit length is,

FL=渭0I1I22蟺谤=4蟺脳10鈭�7T鈰�m/A(80.8A)22蟺(0.55m)=2.4脳10鈭�3N/m

Thus, the force of attraction is 2.4脳10鈭�3N/m.

When two point charges of equal mass and charge arereleased on a frictionless table, each has an initial acceleration(magnitude) a0. If instead you keep one fixed and release the otherone, what will be its initial acceleration: a0,2a0,or a0/2? Explain.

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?

Question:A ring-shaped conductor with radius a = 2.50 cm has a total positive charge Q = +0.125 nC uniformly distributed around it (see Fig. 21.23). The center of the ring is at the origin of coordinates O. (a) What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) at point P, which is on the x-axis at x = 40.0 cm? (b) A point charge q = -2.50 渭C is placed at P. What are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the charge q on the ring?

The circuit shown in Fig. E25.33 contains two batteries, each with an emf and an internal resistance, and two resistors. Find (a) the current in the circuit (magnitude and direction) and (b) the terminal voltage Vabof the 16.0-V battery.

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?
