Discusssion Questions:

9. The transmission line generates a time-varying B-field which threads the loop. The changing magnetic flux through the loop generates an emf and so current flows through the loop. This would cause a slight drop in the power delivered by the transmission line and thus would be detectable.

16. First off, the electron is forced to orbit in the magnetic field because of the F = q(v x B) force it feels. That is, for a given B-field, it will move in a circular orbit of radius r = mv/(qB) with frequency Omega = qB/m. Now if the B-field is gradually increased in strength, the magnetic flux through the orbit increases. This generates a current which opposes the increase in the B-field. Looking at the figure, we see that the B-field points down. The current will thus generate a B-field in the upward direction. The current thus circulates in the CCW-sense as viewed from above to generate such a field. That is, the induced E-field points in the CCW-direction as viewed from above. The force on the electron due to this induced field is then F = q(electron) x E which is then in the CW-direction because the charge of the electron is negative. Now looking at the figure, we see that the electron is moving in the CW-sense as viewed from above. The increasing magnetic field thus accelerates the electron to higher energy!

Problems:

2. Flux = B x Area x cos(angle field makes with the perpendicular of the loop) = 0.1 T x 0.020 m^2 x cos (30 degrees) = 0.0017 Wb

Note, we can also say that Flux = B x Area x sin(angle field makes the plane of the loop) = 0.1 T x 0.020 m^2 x sin(60 degrees) = 0.0017 Wb

7. We want the average time rate of change of the magnetic flux, so

The time rate of change is then The induced emf is then -0.5 Volts

8. Again, we want the change in the flux:

Induced emf is

12. let us consider the change in three steps:

16. Since emf = vBl ===> B = emf/(vl) = 0.45 V/(6 m/s x 0.2 m) = 0.38 T.

21. In order to calculate the charge on the capacitor, we want to calculate the induced emf.

Now the charge on a fully-charged capacitor is given by

23. Let us compute the time rate of change of the magnetic flux:

The current will flow in the CCW-direction as viewed from above so as to oppose the increase in the downward B-field strength.

25. The induced emf is vBl ===> I = vBl/R ===> P = IV = vBl/R x vBl = (vBl)^2/R

33. For each length of wire, the induced emf is vBl x sine(angle) = 22 m/s x 0.35 T x 0.1 m x sine(angle) = 0.77 sine(angle) Volts. When the angle is 90 degrees, the induced emf is 0.77 Volts. Now since there are 2 wires per turn and there are 25 turns, the total emf is 39 Volts.

39. N x Flux = LI ===> Flux = LI/N = 0.200 H x 2.0 A / 500 = 0.0004 Wb

45. Back emf = -L delta(I)/delta(time) ===> -L = 10 Volts/2.0 A/s = 5 H
