Answer to Problem 46P

The wavelength of the wave is 3.0m and direction of propagation is perpendicular to direction of magnetic field.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The frequency is f=100MHz .

The magnetic is B(z,t)=(1.00×108T)cos(kzωt)i^

Formula used:

The expression for wavelength is given by,

  λ=cf

Calculation:

The wavelength of the wave is calculated as,

  λ=cf=3.0× 108m/s( ( 100MHz )( 10 6 Hz 1MHz ))=3.0m

Conclusion:

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 3.0m and direction of propagation is perpendicular to direction of magnetic field.

Answer to Problem 46P

The electric field vector is (3.0V/mcos[( 2.09/ sec)z^( 6.28× 10 8 / sec)t]j^) .

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

The expression for electric field vector is given by,

  E(z,t)=(Ecos[kz^ωt]j^)

The expression for amplitude of electric field is given by,

  E=cB

The expression for angular frequency is given by,

  ω=2πf

The expression for wave number is given by,

  k=2πλ

Calculation:

The amplitude of electric field is calculated as,

  E=cB=(3.0× 108m/s)(( 1.00× 10 8 T))=3.0V/m

The angular frequency is calculated as,

  ω=2πf=2π(100MHz)( 10 6 Hz 1MHz)=6.28×108/sec

The wave number is calculated as,

  k=2πλ=2π3.0m=2.09/m

The electric field vector is calculated as,

  E(z,t)=(Ecos[k z ^ωt]j^)=(3.0V/mcos[( 2.09/ sec ) z ^( 6.28× 10 8 / sec )t]j^)

Conclusion:

Therefore, the electric field vector is (3.0V/mcos[( 2.09/ sec)z^( 6.28× 10 8 / sec)t]j^) .

Answer to Problem 46P

The Poynting vector is ((23.9mW/ m 2))cos2[(2.09/sec)z^(6.28× 108/sec)t](k^) and intensity of the wave is 11.9mW/m2 .

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

The expression for Poynting vector is given by,

  S(z,t)=1μ0E×B

The expression for intensity is given by,

  I=|S|

Calculation:

The Poynting vector is calculated as,

  S(z,t)=1μ0E×B=14π× 10 7N/ A 2[( ( 3.0V/m cos[ ( 2.09/ sec ) z ^ ( 6.28× 10 8 / sec )t] j ^ ))×( ( 1.00× 10 8 T )cos( kzωt ) i ^ )]=( 3.0V/m )( 10 8 T)4π× 10 7N/ A 2cos2[( 2.09/ sec)z^( 6.28× 10 8 / sec)t](j^×i^)=(( 23.9× 10 3 W/ m 2 )( 10 3 mW 1W ))cos2[( 2.09/ sec)z^( 6.28× 10 8 / sec)t](k^)

Further simplify the above,

  S(z,t)=((23.9mW/ m 2))cos2[(2.09/sec)z^(6.28× 108/sec)t](k^)

The intensity of the wave is calculated as,

  I=|S|=|(( 23.9 mW/ m 2 ))cos2[( 2.09/ sec )z^( 6.28× 10 8 / sec )t](k^)|=0.5(23.9mW/ m 2)=11.9mW/m2

Conclusion:

Therefore, the Poynting vector is ((23.9mW/ m 2))cos2[(2.09/sec)z^(6.28× 108/sec)t](k^) and intensity of the wave is 11.9mW/m2 .

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you
A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
