A wide, long, insulating belt has a uniform positive charge per unit area s on its upper surface. Rollers at each end move the belt to the right at a constant speed v. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by the moving belt at a point just above its surface. (Hint:At points near the surface and far from its edges or ends, the moving belt can be considered to be an infinite current sheet like that in Problem 28.73.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the magnetic field is P0vσ2 and the direction is outside the page.

Step by step solution

01

 Identification of the concept

The conveyer belt is considered or approximated in this case to be an infinitely long current sheet.

Also from the mentioned problem 28.73,the magnetic field B of an infinite current sheet is,

B=12μ0ln∣

Here, symbols have their usual meanings and n=1L, L being the width of the sheet.

02

Determination of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by the conveyer belt.

Consider a small length on the conveyer belt to be ∆x.

Therefore charge in that small length element is,

ΔQ=LΔxσ

Now, the current expression is,

I=Δ²ÏΔ³Ù=LΔ³æÎ”³Ùσ=LVσ

Thus, by approximating the same magnetic field as an infinite sheet,

B=μ02LI=μ0vσ2

Thus the magnitude is obtained. Refer to the image below for checking the direction of the magnetic field.

The direction of the magnetic field is out of the page.

Displacement Current in a Dielectric. Suppose that the parallel plates in Fig. 29.23 have an area of 3.00 cm2 and are separated by a 2.50-mm-thick sheet of dielectric that completely fills the volume between the plates. The dielectric has dielectric constant 4.70. (You can ignore fringing effects.) At a certain instant, the potential difference between the plates is 120 V and the conduction current iC equals 6.00 mA. At this instant, what are (a) the charge q on each plate; (b) the rate of change of charge on the plates; (c) the displacement current in the dielectric?

Question: A 540-Welectric heater is designed to operate from120-Vlines. (a) What is its operating resistance?(b) What current does it draw?(c) If the line voltage drops to 110 V what power does the heater take? (Assume that the resistance is constant. Actually, it will change because of the change in temperature.)(d) The heater coils are metallic, so that the resistance of the heater decreases with decreasing temperature. If the change of resistance with temperature is taken into account, will the electrical power consumed by the heater be larger or smaller than what you calculated in part (c)? Explain.

When switch Sin Fig. E25.29 is open, the voltmeter V reads 3.08 V. When the switch is closed, the voltmeter reading drops to 2.97 V, and the ammeter A reads 1.65 A. Find the emf, the internal resistance of the battery, and the circuit resistance R. Assume that the two meters are ideal, so they don’t affect the circuit.
