[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

A square, conducting, wire loop of side L, total mass m, and total resistance R initially lies in the horizontal xy-plane, with corners at (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0), (0, L, 0), (L, 0, 0), and (L, L, 0). There is a uniform, upward magnetic field B= Bkn in the space within and around the loop. The side of the loop that extends from (0, 0, 0) to (L, 0, 0) is held in place on the x-axis; the rest of the loop is free to pivot around this axis. When the loop is released, it begins to rotate due to the gravitational torque. (a) Find the net torque (magnitude and direction) that acts on the loop when it has rotated through an angle f from its original orientation and is rotating downward at an angular speed v. (b) Find the angular acceleration of the loop at the instant described in part (a). (c) Compared to the case with zero magnetic field, does it take the loop a longer or shorter time to rotate through 90°? Explain. (d) Is mechanical energy conserved as the loop rotates downward? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Net torque is given byτ⃗n=-mgL2cosϕ+B2L4ӬRsinϕ
  2. The angular acceleration isα=12B2L2Ӭ5mRsin2ϕ-6g5Lcosϕ
  3. The magnetic torque slows down the dall since it opposes the gravitational torque, So it takes the loop a longer time to rotate through 90 degrees
  4. No, the energy is not conserved because some of the energy is dissipated in the resistance of the loop.

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts

Magnetic flux is given by

ϕ=B→.A→

WhereB→ is the magnetic field andis the area vector

Magnetic Torque is given by

τ→=μ→×B→=IABsinϕ

Faraday’s law states that The induced emf in a coil is equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic flux times the number of turns in the coil. It involves the interaction of charge with magnetic field.

emf=-N∆ϕ∆t

Whereϕ is the angle between the area vector and Magnetic Field.

Moment of inertia of a rod about an axis through its end is given by

I=13ML2

02

Gravitational Torque calculation

When the loop is left to rotate about the x-axis, the weight of the other sides exert torque on it

τg=m4gL2sin(90−ϕ)+m4gLsin(90−ϕ)+m4gL2sin(90−ϕ)τg=mgL2cosϕ

The direction of the rotation is clockwise

τ→g=mgL2cosϕ

03

Magnetic field torque

Flux change is given by

dφdt=-BAsinϕdϕdt=-BAӬsinϕ

According to faraday’s laws

ε=-dφm=BAӬsinϕ

Since, the emf is positive, using the right hand rule, direction of induced current is counter clockwise

Since the loop carries current and moves, in the magnetic field , so thereis a magnetic force on it exerting a torque.

τB=IBAsinϕ

Using right-hand rule for a cross product, the direction of this torque iis counter clockwise.

From Ohm’s law

I=εR=BAӬsinϕRτB=BAӬsinϕRBAsinϕτB=B2A2ӬRsinϕ

Therefore the net torque is given by

τ→n=τ→g+τ→Bτ→n=−mgL2cosϕ+B2L4ӬRsinϕ

04

Angular Acceleration

We know that

T=lα

Moment of inertia of the loop is

I=13m4L2+m4L2+13m4L2l=25mL2

So the angular acceleration is given by

α=τ1α=12B2L2Ӭ5mRsin2ϕ−6g5Lcosϕ

05

Torque and Time

The magnetic torque slows down the dall since it opposes the gravitational torque, So it takes the loop a longer time to rotate through 90 degrees

No, the energy is not conserved because some of the energy is dissipated in the resistance of the loop.

A 1.50-mcylindrical rod of diameter 0.500cmis connected to

a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 15.0Vacross

its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that

at room temperature (20.0∘C)the ammeter reads 18.5Awhile at 92.0∘Cit

reads 17.2A. You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod. Find (a) the

resistivity at and (b) the temperature coefficient of resistivity at for the material of the rod.

A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?

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?

A typical small flashlight contains two batteries, each having an emf of1.5V, connected in series with a bulb having resistance17Ω. (a) If the internal resistance of the batteries is negligible, what power is delivered to the bulb? (b) If the batteries last for1.5hwhat is the total energy delivered to the bulb? (c) The resistance of real batteries increases as they run down. If the initial internal resistance is negligible, what is the combined internal resistance of both batteries when the power to the bulb has decreased to half its initial value? (Assume that the resistance of the bulb is constant. Actually, it will change somewhat when the current through the filament changes, because this changes the temperature of the filament and hence the resistivity of the filament wire.)

Two coils have mutual inductance M=3.25×10-4H. The current in the first coil increases at a uniform rate of 830 A/S. (a) what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the second coil? Is it constant? (b) Suppose that the current described is in the second coil rather than the first. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the first coil?
