Question

1. A metal bar spins at a constant rate in the magnetic field of the Earth as in Figure 31.10. The

rotation occurs in a region where the component of the Earth’s magnetic field perpendicular to

the plane of rotation is 3.30 × 10^–5 T. If the bar is 1.00 m in length and its angular speed is 5.00

Ï€ rad/s, what potential difference is developed between its ends?


2. A 70-turn solenoid is 5.00 cm long and 1.00 cm in diameter and carries a 2.00-A current. A

single loop of wire, 3.00 cm in diameter, is held so that the plane of the loop is perpendicular to

the long axis of the solenoid, as illustrated in Figure P31.18 (page 1004). What is the mutual

inductance of the two if the plane of the loop passes through the solenoid 2.50 cm from one

end?


3. Two single-turn circular loops of wire have radii R and r, with R >> r. The loops lie in the

same plane and are concentric. (a) Show that the mutual inductance of the pair is M = μ0 πr 2 / 2R.

(Hint: Assume that the larger loop carries a current I and compute the resulting flux

through the smaller loop.) (b) Evaluate M for r = 2.00 cm and R = 20.0 cm

Explanation / Answer

Answering to questions 1 and 2 needs the figures.

3. Two single-turn circular loops of wire have radii R and r, with R >> r. The loops lie in theÂ

same plane and are concentric. (a) Show that the mutual inductance of the pair is M = ÃŽ ¼0 Àr 2 / 2R.

 (Hint: Assume that the larger loop carries a current I and compute the resulting fluxÂ

through the smaller loop.) (b) Evaluate M for r = 2.00 cm and R = 20.0 cm

flux = A B = (pi r^2) * (u0 i/2R)

emf = d(flux)/dt = L (di/dt)

==> emf = (pi r^2 u0/2R) (di/dt)

==> L = pi r^2 u0/2R


b)

L = (3.1416*0.02*0.02)*(4*3.1416e-7)/2/0.20 = 3.95 * 10^-9 H
