In the circuit shown in Fig. P30.65, switch S is closed at time t=0. (a) Find the reading of each meter just after S is closed. (b) What does each meter read long after S is closed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) A1=A4=0.455AAnd A2=A3=0

(b)A1=0.58A,A2=0.32A,A3=0.16AandA4=0.107A

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts

Ohm’s law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant

V=IR

An inductor act as a wire of infinite resistance right after the circuit is closed while it acts as a normal conducting wire after a long time of circuit being closed

Same current flows through the ammeters connected in series.

Same voltage is dropped across voltmeters connected in parallel

02

Current just after switch is closed

Just after the switch is closed, the inductor has infinite resistance and hence the circuit branch is considered open at this point hence no current flows through the two ammetersA2and A3hence they read zero.

A2=A3=0

The same current flow through the ammeters A1andA4since they are in series.

Use ohm’s law to get the current through them

i=ε40Ω+15Ω=2540Ω+15Ω=0.455A

Hence the current through the ammeters is A1=A4=0.455AAndA2=A3=0

03

Current just after switch is for a long time

After a long time the current in the circuit is in steady-state, voltage across the inductors is zero. We get current in each ammeter by ohm’s law

A1=25V42.73Ω=0.58AA2=1.6V5Ω=0.32AA3=1.6V10Ω=0.16AA4=1.6V15Ω=0.107A

Hence the current through the ammeters is A1=0.58A,A2=0.32A,A3=0.16AandA4=0.107A,

Question: A +2.00nC point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.00nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. (a) Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at each of the following points on the x-axis: (i) x = 0.200 m; (ii) x = 1.20 m; (iii) x = -0.200 m. (b) Find the net electric force that the two charges would exert on an electron placed at each point in part (a).

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?

In the circuit shown in Fig. Q26.4, three identical light bulbs are connected to a flashlight battery. How do the brightnesses of the bulbs compare? Which light bulb has the greatest current passing through it? Which light bulb has the greatest potential difference between its terminals? What happens if bulb A is unscrewed? Bulb B? Bulb C? Explain your reasoning.

Two-point charges are separated by 25.0 cm (Fig. E21.43). Find the net electric field these charges produce at (a) point A and (b) point B. (c) What would be the magnitude and direction of the electric force this combination of charges would produce on a proton at A?

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?
