- In Figure P20.65 the rolling axle of length 1.50 m is pushed along horizontal rails at a constant speed v = 3.00 m/s. A resist or R = 0.400 is connected to the rails at points a and b, directly opposite each other. (The wheels make good electrical contact with the rails, so the axle, rails, and R form a closed-loop circuit. The only significant resistance in the circuit is R.) A uniform magnetic field B = 0.800 T is directed vertically downward. (a) Find the induced current I in the resistor. (b) What horizontal force F is required to keep the axle rolling at constant speed? (c) Which end of the resistor, a or b. is at the higher electric potential? (d) Alter the axle rolls past the resistor, does the current in R reverse direction? Explain your answer. Figure P20.65arrow_forwardConsider the apparatus shown in Figure P30.32: a conducting bar is moved along two rails connected to an incandescent lightbulb. The whole system is immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.400 T perpendicular and into the page. The distance between the horizontal rails is = 0.800 m. The resistance of the lightbulb is R = 48.0 , assumed to be constant. The bar and rails have negligible resistance. The bar is moved toward the right by a constant force of magnitude F = 0.600 N. We wish to find the maximum power delivered to the lightbulb. (a) Find an expression for the current in the lightbulb as a function of B, , R, and v, the speed of the bar. (b) When the maximum power is delivered to the lightbulb, what analysis model properly describes the moving bar? (c) Use the analysis model in part (b) to find a numerical value for the speed v of the bar when the maximum power is being delivered to the lightbulb. (d) Find the current in the lightbulb when maximum power is being delivered to it. (e) Using P = I2R, what is the maximum power delivered to the lightbulb? (f) What is the maximum mechanical input power delivered to the bar by the force F? (g) We have assumed the resistance of the lightbulb is constant. In reality, as the power delivered to the lightbulb increases, the filament temperature increases and the resistance increases. Does the speed found in part (c) change if the resistance increases and all other quantities are held constant? (h) If so, does the speed found in part (c) increase or decrease? If not, explain. (i) With the assumption that the resistance of the lightbulb increases as the current increases, does the power found in part (f) change? (j) If so, is the power found in part (f) larger or smaller? If not, explain. Figure P30.32arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? A conducting rectangular loop of mass M = 0.100 kg, resistance R = 1.00 , and dimensions w = 50.0 cm by = 90.0 cm is held with its lower edge just above a region with a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.00 T as shown in Figure P30.34. The loop is released from rest. Just as the top edge of the loop reaches the region containing the field, the loop moves with a speed 4.00 m/s. Figure P30.34arrow_forward
- Figure P30.39 shows a stationary conductor whose shape is similar to the letter e. The radius of its circular portion is a = 50.0 cm. It is placed in a constant magnetic field of 0.500 T directed out of the page. A straight conducting rod, 50.0 cm long, is pivoted about point O and rotates with a constant angular speed of 2.00 rad/s. (a) Determine the induced emf in the loop POQ. Note that the area of the loop is a2/2. (b) If all the conducting material has a resistance per length of 5.00 /m, what is the induced current in the loop POQ at the instant 0.250 s after point P passes point Q? Figure P30.39arrow_forwardA stiff spring with a spring constant of 1200.0 N/m is connected to a bar on a slide generator as shown in Figure P32.40. Assume the bar has length l = 60.0 cm and mass m = 0.75 kg, and it slides without friction. The bar connects to a U-shaped wire to form a loop that has width w = 40.0 cm and total resistance 25 and that sits in a uniform magnetic field B = 0.35 T. The bar is initially pulled 5.0 cm to the left and released so that it begins to oscillate. What is the induced current in the loop as a function of time, I(t)? (Ignore any effects due to the magnetic force on the oscillating bar.)arrow_forwardA coil with a self-inductance of 3.0 H and a resistance of 100 2 carries a steady current of 2.0 A.

- Review. Figure P31.31 shows a bar of mass m = 0.200 kg that can slide without friction on a pair of rails separated by a distance = 1.20 m and located on an inclined plane that makes an angle = 25.0 with respect to the ground. The resistance of the resistor is R = 1.00 and a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.500 T is directed downward, perpendicular to the ground, over the entire region through which the bar moves. With what constant speed v does the bar slide along the rails?arrow_forwardmetal rod is forced to move with constant velocity along two parallel metal rails, connected with a strip of metal at one end across a magnetic field (B) of 0.5 T, pointing out of the page.

The long solenoid S has 440 turns/cm and carries a current i = 1.5 mA; its diameter D is 7.2 cm. At its center we place a 150-turn closely packed coil C of diameter d= 4.1 mm. The current in the solenoid is reduced to zero at a steady rate in 25 µs.

The bar rides on parallel metal rails connected through a 45.0 Ω resistor, as shown in Fig. E29.31, so the apparatus makes a complete circuit. You can ignore the resistance of the bar and rails. The circuit is in a uniform 0.650-T magnetic field that is directed out of the plane of the figure.
