Answer to Problem 1Q

The two circular coils has to place close together and along the same axis.

Explanation of Solution

The magnitude of mutual inductance is directly proportional to the number of field lines or flux passing through the coil. The direction of magnetic field in a coil is along its axis. As the two circular coils are placed along the same axis, the number of field lines passing through one coil due to the current flowing through the other coil is greatest in this arrangement.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the two circular coils has to place close together and along the same axis.

Answer to Problem 1Q

Two circular coils has to place close together with their faces perpendicular to each other.

Explanation of Solution

The magnitude of mutual inductance is proportional to the field lines passing through the coil. The direction of magnetic field in a coil is along its axis. As the faces of coil placed perpendicular to each other, least number of field lines will pass through the coil due the current flowing in the other coil.

Conclusion:

Therefore, two circular coils has to place close together with their faces perpendicular to each other.

64. Two springs have the same unstretched length but different spring constants, k₁ and k₂. (a) If they're connected side by side and stretched a distance x, as shown in Fig. 4.24a, show that the force exerted by the combination is (k₁ + k₂)x. (b) If they're con- nected end to end (Fig. 4.24b) and the combination is stretched a distance x, show that they exert a force k₁k2x/(k₁ + k₂). www (a) FIGURE 4.24 Problem 65 www (b)
65. Although we usually write Newton's second law for one-dimensional motion in the form F =ma, which holds when mass is constant, d(mv) a more fundamental version is F = . Consider an object dt whose mass is changing, and use the product rule for derivatives to show that Newton's law then takes the form F dm = ma + v dt
If a proton is located on the x-axis in some coordinate system at x0 = -3.2 x 10-5 meters, what is the x-component of the Electric Field due to this proton at a position x = +3.2 x 10-5 meters and on the x axis as the y-axis is 0 giving a number of Newtons/Coulomb?
