Given Solution: To do this we need to simply find the area of the plane loop of wire. If we are given the radius we can find the area using Pi * r ^2 Then we multiply the area of the loop (In square meters ) by the strength of the field (in tesla). This will give us the strength of the flux if the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the field. If the perpendicular to the loop is at some nonzero angle with the field, then we multiply the previous result by the cosine of the angle. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how to determine the average rate of change of magnetic flux due to a uniform magnetic field through a plane loop of wire, as the loop is rotated in a given time interval from an orientation perpendicular to the magnetic field to an orientation parallel to the magnetic field. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: We need to find the rate of change of the magnetic flux as the field goes from perpendicular to parallel to the plane over time. (d phi)/(dt) = (phi (at parallel) - phi (at perp.))/(t(at parallel) - t(at perp.)) = (0 - B*A)/(delta t) = -B*A/delta t confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: ** EXPLANATION BY STUDENT: The first thing that we need to do is again use Pi * r ^ 2 to find the area of the loop. Then we multiply the area of the loop (m^2) by the strength of the field (testla) to find the flux when the loop is perpendicular to the field. Then we do the same thing for when the loop is parallel to the field, and since the cos of zero degrees is zero, the flux when the loop is parallel to the field is zero. This makes sense because at this orientation the loop will pick up none of the magnetic field. So now we have Flux 1 and Flux 2 being when the loop is perpendicular and parallel, respectively. So if we subtract Flux 2 from flux 1 and divide this value by the given time in seconds, we will have the average rate of change of magnetic flux. If we use MKS units this value will be in Tesla m^2 / sec = volts. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how alternating current is produced by rotating a coil of wire with respect to a uniform magnetic field. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: As the coil is rotated, the magnetic field will go from 0 to phi to 0 to phi and so on. I dont understand how this causes current though.
.............................................
Given Solution: ** STUDENT RESPONSE WITH INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: Y ou rotate a coil of wire end over end inside a uniform magnetic field. When the coil is parallel to the magnetic field, then there is no magnetic flux, and the current will be zero. But then when the coil is perpendicular to the field or at 90 degrees to the field then the flux will be strongest and the current will be moving in one direction. Then when the coil is parallel again at 180 degrees then the flux and the current will be zero. Then when the coil is perpendicular again at 270 degrees, then the flux will be at its strongest again but it will be in the opposite direction as when the coil was at 90 degrees. So therefore at 90 degrees the current will be moving in one direction and at 270 degrees the current will be moving with the same magnitude but in the opposite direction. COMMENT: Good. The changing magnetic flux produces voltage, which in turn produces current. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): So magnetic flux causes voltage. This is what causes the current to alternate. I also didnt take into account that the curent will be negative when the coil is rotated 270 degrees. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qQuery univ 25.62 (26.50 10th edition) rectangular block d x 2d x 3d, potential difference V. To which faces should the voltage be applied to attain maximum current density and what is the density? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: Side A is parallel to 2d Side B is parallel to d Side C is parallel to 3d Current Density (J) = Current (I)/Cross Sectional Area (A) J = I/A , I = V/R = V*A/(rho*L) So, J = V/(L*rho), so smallest L will yield the largest current density The smallest L will come with side d: So smallest J = V/(rho*d) The largest current will be on the same face I = V*A/(rho*L) The largest area to length ratio will yield the largest current: I = 6d*V/rho confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** First note that the current I is different for diferent faces. The resistance of the block is proportional to the distance between faces and inversely proportional to the area, so current is proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance between faces. Current density is proportional to current and inversely proportional to the area of the face, so current density is proportional to area and inversely proportional to the distance between faces and to area, leaving current inversely proportional to distance between faces. For the faces measuring d x 2d we have resistance R = rho * L / A = rho * (3d) / (2 d^2) = 3 / 2 rho / d so current is I = V / R = V / (3/2 rho / d) = 2d V / (3 rho). Current density is I / A = (2 d V / (3 rho) ) / (2 d^2) = V / (3 rho d) = 1/3 V / (rho d). For the faces measuring d x 3d we have resistance R = rho * L / A = rho * (2d) / (3 d^2) = 2 / 3 rho / d so current is I = V / R = V / (2/3 rho / d) = 3 d V / (2 rho). Current density is I / A = (3 d V / (2 rho) ) / (3 d^2) = V / (2 rho d) = 1/2 V / (rho d). For the faces measuring 3d x 2d we have resistance R = rho * L / A = rho * (d) / (6 d^2) = 1 / 6 rho / d so current is I = V / R = V / (1/6 rho / d) = 6 d V / (rho). Current density is I / A = (6 d V / (rho) ) / (6 d^2) = V / (rho d) = V / (rho d). Max current density therefore occurs when the voltage is applied to the largest face. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK"
