30. Induction and Inductance

A thin rod moves in a perpendicular, unknown magnetic field. If the length of the rod is 10 cm and the induced EMF is 1 V when it moves at 5 m/s, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

INT A 20-cm-long, zero-resistance slide wire moves outward, on zero-resistance rails, at a steady speed of 10 m/s in a 0.10 T magnetic field. (See Figure 30.26.) On the opposite side, a 1.0 Ω carbon resistor completes the circuit by connecting the two rails. The mass of the resistor is 50 mg. How much force is needed to pull the wire at this speed?

A potential difference of 0.050 V is developed across the 10-cm-long wire of FIGURE EX30.3 as it moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to the figure. What are the strength and direction (in or out) of the magnetic field?

INT A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire and rail is 0.20 Ω. Pulling the wire at a steady speed of 4.0 m/s causes 4.0 W of power to be dissipated in the circuit. How big is the pulling force?

A 22.0-cm-diameter coil consists of 36 turns of circular copper wire 2.6 mm in diameter. A uniform magnetic field, perpendicular to the plane of the coil, changes at a rate of 8.65 x 10^-3 T/s. Determine (a) the current in the loop, and (b) the rate at which thermal energy is produced.

A long horizontal wire carries 24.0 A of dc current due north. What is the net magnetic field 20.0 cm due west of the wire if the Earth’s field there points downward, 38° below the horizontal, and has magnitude 5.0 x 10^-5 T?

A simple generator is designed to generate a peak output voltage of 24.0 V. The square armature consists of windings that are 5.15 cm on a side and rotates in a field of 0.380 T at a rate of 60.0 rev/s. How many loops of wire should be wound on the square armature?

A generator rotates at 85 Hz in a magnetic field of 0.030 T. It has 950 turns and produces an rms voltage of 150 V and an rms current of 60.0 A. (a) What is the peak current produced? (b) What is the area of each turn of the coil?

If 75 MW of power at 45 kV (rms) arrives at a town from a generator via transmission lines of total resistance 3.0 Ω, calculate (a) the emf at the generator end of the lines, and (b) the fraction of the power generated that is wasted in the lines.

The moving rod in Fig. 29–12b is 12.0 cm long and is pulled at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. If the magnetic field is 0.650 T, calculate the emf developed.

(III) A simple generator has a square armature 6.0 cm on a side. The armature has 85 turns of 0.65-mm-diameter copper wire and rotates in a 0.65-T magnetic field. The generator is used to power a lightbulb rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W. At what rate should the generator rotate to provide 12.0 V to the bulb? Consider the resistance of the wire on the armature.

Two parallel resistanceless rails are 32 cm apart on a 6.0° ramp. They are joined at the bottom by a 0.60-Ω resistor. At the top a copper bar of mass 0.040 kg (ignore its resistance) is laid across the rails. Assuming a vertical 0.65-T magnetic field, what is the terminal (steady) velocity of the bar as it slides frictionlessly down the rails?

A flashlight can be made that is powered by the induced current from a magnet moving through a coil of wire. The coil and magnet are inside a plastic tube that can be shaken by your hand causing the magnet to move back and forth through the coil. Assume the magnet has a maximum field strength of 0.05 T. Make reasonable assumptions and specify the size of the coil and the number of turns necessary to light a standard 1-watt, 3-V flashlight bulb.

(II) Part of a single rectangular loop of wire with dimensions shown in Fig. 29–49 is situated inside a region of uniform magnetic field of 0.650 T. The total resistance of the loop is 0.250 Ω. Calculate the force required to pull the loop from the field (to the right) at a constant velocity of 3.40 m/s. Neglect gravity.

(II) Suppose that the U-shaped conductor and connecting rod in Fig. 29–12a are oriented vertically (but still in contact) so that the rod is falling due to the gravitational force. Find the terminal speed of the rod if it has mass m = 3.6 grams, length 𝓁 = 18 cm, and resistance R = 0.0013 Ω. It is falling in a uniform horizontal field B = 0.080 T. Neglect the resistance of the U-shaped conductor, and friction.
