Answer to Problem 1CQ

There are two reversals of direction of current for one rotation since the flux reaches the maximum positive value and maximum negative value during one rotation.

Explanation of Solution

With the rotation of the loop, the associated magnetic flux increases. The flux approaches its maximum positive value when the loop is perpendicular to the field and after that the flux starts to decrease as the loop becomes parallel to the magnetic field. The induced current reverses its direction as the loop turns through the maximum position and the flux changes from increasing to decreasing. This is because of the reversal in the sign of the change the induced current opposes.

Then the loop continues to rotate. When the loop becomes once again perpendicular to the field but facing the opposite way, the flux reaches its maximum negative value. At this position the flux changes from decreasing to increasing. Due to the reversal in the sign of the change the induced current opposes, the current again reverses its direction. Thus the induced current reverses its direction twice per rotation.

You have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the Earth. The design of the space station is shown. It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 58,500 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 125 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. Your supervisor asks you to determine the following: (a) the time interval during which the rockets must be fired if each…
The polar ice caps have a combined mass of about 2.65 × 1019 kg. If all of the ice in the polar ice caps melted, by how much time would the length of a day (Earth's rotational period) change? For simplicity, assume each ice cap is an identical thin solid disk with a radius of 7.20 x 105 m. Find the change both in seconds and as a percentage of duration of a day. change in time percent change (No Response) s (No Response) %
. A space probe in outer space has a gyroscope within it used for rotation and stabilization. The moment of inertia of the gyroscope is I = 17.5 kg m² about the axis of the gyroscope, and the moment of inertia of the rest of the space probe is I = 5.00 × 105 kg • m² about the same axis. Initially both the space probe and gyroscope are not rotating. The gyroscope is then switched on and it nearly instantly starts rotating at an angular speed of 110 rad/s. How long (in s) should the gyroscope operate at this speed in order to change the space probe's orientation by 24.0°? (No Response) s
