Concept explainers
You are part of a team working in a machine parts mechanic’s shop. An important customer has asked your company to provide springs with a very precise force constant k. To measure the spring constant, you fasten two of the springs between the ends of two very long wires of length L, separated by the unstretched length ℓ of the springs as shown in Figure P29.15. The specific attachment method that you use insulates the springs from the wires so that no current passes through the springs. You lay the apparatus flat on a table and then pass a current of magnitude I through the wires, in opposite directions. As a result the springs stretch by a distance d and come to equilibrium. You determine an expression for the spring constant in terms of L, I, ℓ, and d.

- Q4: Show detailed work and pay attention to the units. There are two different ways to calculate the potential difference across the bar, using the motional EMF expression or Faraday's Law. Show that both methods give the same answer. Use the right hand rule to figure out which end of the bar (A or B) will be at a higher potential due to the motion of the conductor in the field.arrow_forwardA portion of a long, cylindrical coaxial cable is shown in the figure below. An electrical current I = 3.0 amps flows down the center conductor, and this same current is returned in the outer conductor. Assume the current is distributed uniformly over the cross sections of the two parts of the cable. The values of the radii in the figure are r1 = 1.5 mm, r2 = 4.0 mm, and r3 = 7.0 mm. Using Ampere’s Law, find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the following distances from the center of the inner wire: a. 1.0 mm. b. 3.0 mm. c. 5.5 mm. d. 9.0 mm.arrow_forward6.11 The loop shown in P6.11 moves away from a wire carrying a current I1 = 10 A at a constant velocity u = §7.5 (m/s). If R = 10 N and the direction of I2 is as defined in the figure, find I2 as a function of yo, the distance between the wire and the loop. Ignore the internal resistance of the loop. 10 cm I1 = 10 A 20 cm Уoarrow_forward

A capacitor consists of two circular plates of radius a separated by a distance d (assume d a.

A current of 0.1 A is applied to coil. What is the expected value of the field at the center of the coil? Hint: determine the number of turns of wire that fit the cylinder and determine the number of turns per unit of cylinder length.

(b) Considering the high-power output, why doesn’t the defibrillator produce serious bums?arrow_forwardA rail gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism of acceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass 40.0 g and electrical resistance 0.300 Ω rests on parallel horizontal rails that have negligible electric resistance. The rails are a distance L = 9.00 cm apart. (Figure 1)The rails are also connected to a voltage source providing a voltage of V = 5.00 V .The rod is placed in a vertical magnetic field. The rod begins to slide when the field reaches the value B = 0.131 T . Assume that the rod has a slightly flattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling. Use 9.80 m/s^2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. A) Find μ_s, the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails.

A rectangular sample of semiconductor is in a magnetic field B, oriented approximately into the page, as shown. The sample is connected to an ammeter, voltmeter and a voltage source. The schematic shows a circuit involving a sample of semiconductor, whose cross-section is L by w. The sketch is not to scale and the electrodes attached to the sample are not shown. A uniform magnetic field B is applied in the direction indicated by the crosses (roughly, into the page). Each charge carrier has a charge q and the density of charge carriers, measured in ions per cubic metre, is n.
