To investigate the properties of a large industrial solenoid, you connect the solenoid and a resistor in series with a battery. Switches allow the battery to be replaced by a short circuit across the solenoid and resistor. Therefore Fig. 30.11 applies, with R=Rext+RL , where RL is the resistance of the solenoid and Rext is the resistance of the series resistor. With switch S2 open, you close switch S1 and keep it closed until the current i in the solenoid is constant (Fig. 30.11). Then you close S2 and open S1 simultaneously, using a rapid-response switching mechanism. With high-speed electronics you measure the timethalfthat it takes for the current to decrease to half of its initial value. You repeat this measurement for several values ofRextand obtain these results

  1. Graph your data in the form of 1>thalfversusRext. Explain why the data points plotted this way fall close to a straight line.
  2. Use your graph from part (a) to calculate the resistance RL and inductance L of the solenoid.
  3. If the current in the solenoid is 20.0 A,
    how much energy is stored there? At what rate is electrical energy
    being dissipated in the resistance of the solenoid?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The output curve is a linear curve.

(b) The inductance and resistance are 8.48Hand6.49Ωrespectively

(c) The energy stored is 1696J and the energy dissipated is 2584W

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts and Formula

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

Energy stored by the inductor is given by

E=12LI2

Where L is the inductance of the inductor while I is the current through the system

Power dissipated by the system is given by

PL=i2RL

02

Plot the given data

Insert the given data into excel sheet and then plot the graph betweenRext on horizontal axis and1t on the vertical axis.

The Output is

The equation of the curve is

1t=1Lln2Rext+RL

The slope of the curve is1Lln2 and RL(1Lln2) represents the intercept with the dashed red line.

03

Understanding the plot

The slope of the curve is given by

S=2.20s−1−1.86s−18Ω−6Ω=0.17

Get the self-inductance of the coil by using this value of the slope

1Lln2=0.17L=8.48H

From the curve we see that the intercept is at1.1s-1

Get the resistance using this value of intercept:

RL1Lln2=1.1RL=6.46Ω

Hence the inductance of the coil and resistance of the coil are respectively

04

Find the energy of the inductor

The energy stored in the coil depends on the inductance and the current through the coil and it is given by

UL=12Li2

Plug in the values we get

UL=12(8.48H)(20A)2UL=1696J

Power dissipated is given by

PL=i2RLPL=(20A)2(6.46Ω)PL=2584W

Hence energy stored is 1696J and the energy dissipated is 2584W

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton’s mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion’s circulator orbit?

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 500V and produce currents of 80mA(or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 10ms. What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300keVis 16.0cm. You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy 300keV. An alpha particle has chargeq=+2e and mass m=6.64×10-27kg. If the magnetic filed isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?

Which of the graphs in Fig. Q25.12 best illustrates the current I in a real resistor as a function of the potential difference V across it? Explain.
