Problem 1
Using what we learned in Physics 121, we can determine that the maximum force that can be applied to rod without causing any motion is equal to
The magnetic force acting on the rod is equal to
We thus conclude that the maximum magnetic field for which the rod remains at rest is equal to
Problem 2
When the current reaches a stable value (independent of time), there will be no potential drop across the solenoid, the current will be equal to
The magnetic field inside the solenoid, assumed to be perfect, is equal to
Problem 3
Using the techniques we discussed in class (see equation 33.3 in the lecture notes) we can conclude that
Problem 4
The atomic mass of lithium is 6.941 g. The number of atoms in 6.941 g of Li is equal to NA. The magnetic moment of one Li atom is equal to 9.27 x 10-24 A m2 (see Table 33.1 in Ohanian). Assuming that all atoms in the sample are lined up, the total dipole moment of the sample is equal to the product of the number of atoms times the magnetic moment of each atom:
The magnetic field produced by this dipole is equal to
Problem 5
The magnetic flux intercepted by the coil is equal to
where N is the number of turns, w and h are the width and height of the turns, B is the magnetic field, and [theta] is the angle between the normal of the coil and the magnetic field. The flux will be time dependent since the angle [theta] will be time dependent. Assuming a constant rate of rotation, we can rewrite this equation as
The induced emf is equal to
The maximum emf is thus equal to
The angular frequency required to achieve this emf is equal to
Problem 6
During one complete revolution, the rod sweeps an area of
Assuming the time required to complete one revolution is T, we conclude that the rate of flux change is equal to
The magnitude of the induced emf is thus equal to
Problem 7
The magnetic flux through the loop is equal to
The induced emf is equal to
The problem states that in a time interval [Delta]t the magnetic field changes from B to fB. The change in the magnetic field, [Delta]B, is thus equal to (f - 1)B. The induced emf is thus equal to
Problem 8
The current induced in the loop is equal to
Problem 9
Define t = 0 to be the time just before the loop is being pulled. The magnetic flux though the loop at this time is equal to
The flux at time t, when the loop is pulled out of the magnetic field region, is equal to 0. Thus, the rate of the change of flux is equal to
The induced emf is equal to
Problem 10
The magnetic field generated by a current-carrying wire is equal to
Consider a small time interval dt. During this time interval the rod moves a distance v dt. The flux that is swept by the rod during this time interval is equal to
The rate of flux change is thus equal to
The magnitude of the induced emf is equal to
Problem 11
Consider the ring at time t. The enclosed flux at this time is equal to
The induced emf is equal to
The total resistance of the loop at time t is equal to
The induced current is thus equal to
Problem 12
The change in flux that is enclosed by the circuit during a time interval dt is equal to
where L is the distance between the rails, B is the magnetic field, and v is the velocity of the bar. The induced emf in the bar is equal to
The magnitude of the induced current is equal to
The magnetic force acting on the rod as it moved through the magnetic field is equal to
Since the rod is moving with constant velocity v, the net force on the rod must be zero, and the external applied force must be equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction to the magnetic force:
Problem 13
The energy dissipated in the current loop is equal to
We conclude that the work done by the external force is converted into Joule heating in the circuit.
