Explain how to determine the magnetic flux of a uniform magnetic field through a plane loop of wire, and explain how the direction of the field and the direction of a line perpendicular to the plane of the region affect the result.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

area of plane loop of wire = pi r^2

strength of flux = area of plane * field strength

If angle isn't 0 then the strength of flux needs to be multiplied by the cos(angle).

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:29:50

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.

Explain 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.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Find the area of the loop, and multiply the area of the loop times the constant field of magnitude. This is also the magnitude of flux change. The average rate of flux change is the magnitude of flux change divided by the time.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:36:53

** 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. **

If a coil is parallel to the magnetic field current and magnetc flux is 0. At a perpendicular angle current is in a single direction and the flux is the highest.

22:39:44

** 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. **

22:41:21

current = voltage / resistance (Ohm's Law). The common sense of this is that for a given voltage, less resistance implies greater current while for given resistance, greater voltage implies greater current. More specifically, current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. In symbols this relationship is expressed as I = V / R.

In this case we know the current and the voltage and wish to find the resistance. Simple algebra gives us R = V / I. Substituting our known current and voltage we obtain

R = 120 volts / 4.2 amps = 29 ohms, approximately.

Voltage is energy per unit of charge, measured in Joules / Coulomb.

Current is charge / unit of time, measured in amps or Coulombs / second.

Power is energy / unit of time measured in Joules / second.

The three are related in a way that is obvious from the meanings of the terms. If we multiply Joules / Coulomb by Coulombs / second we get Joules / second, so voltage * current = power. In symbols this is power = V * I.

Ohm's Law tells us that current = voltage / resistance.In symbols this is I = V / R. So our power relationship power = V * I can be written

power = V * V / R = V^2 / R.

Using this relationship we find that

V = sqrt(power * R), so in this case the maximum voltage (which will produce the 1/4 watt maximum power) will be

V = sqrt(1/4 watt * 2.7 * 10^3 ohms) = 26 volts.

Query general college physics problem 18.39; compare power loss if 520 kW delivered at 50kV as opposed to 12 kV thru 3 ohm resistance.** The current will not be the same at both voltages.

It is important to understand that power (J / s) is the product of current (C / s) and voltage (J / C).

So the current at 50 kV kW will be less than 1/4 the current at 12 kV.

To deliver 520 kW = 520,000 J / s at 50 kV = 50,000 J / C requires current I = 520,000 J/s / (50,000 J/C) = 10.4 amps. This demonstrates the meaning of the formula P = I V.

To deliver 520 kW = 520,000 J / s at 12 kV = 12,000 J / C requires current I = 520,000 J/s / (12,000 J/C) = 43.3 amps.

The voltage drops through the 3 Ohm resistance will be calculated as the product of the current and the resistance, V = I * R:

The 10.4 amp current will result in a voltage drop of 10.4 amp * 3 ohms = 31.2 volts.

The 43.3 amp current will result in a voltage drop of 40.3 amp * 3 ohms = 130 volts.

The power loss through the transmission wire is the product of the voltage ( J / C ) and the current (J / S) so we obtain power losses as follows:

At 520 kV the power loss is 31.2 J / C * 10.4 C / s = 325 watts, approx. At 12 kV the power loss is 130 J / C * 43.3 C / s = 6500 watts, approx.

Note that the power loss in the transmission wire is not equal to the power delivered by the circuit, which is lost through a number of parallel connections to individual homes, businesses, etc..

The entire analysis can be done by simple formulas but without completely understanding the meaning of voltage, current, resistance, power and their relationships it is very easy to get the wrong quantities in the wrong places, and especially to confuse the power delivered with the power loss.

The analysis boils down to this:

I = P / V, where P is the power delivered. Ploss = I^2 R, where R is the resistance of the circuit and Ploss is the power loss of the circuit.

So Ploss = I^2 * R = (P/V)^2 * R = P^2 * R / V^2.

This shows that power loss across a fixed resistance is inversely proportional to square of the voltage. So that the final voltage, which is less than 1/4 the original voltage, implies more than 16 times the power loss.

A quicker solution through proportionalities:

For any given resistance power loss is proportional to the square of the current.

For given power delivery current is inversely proportional to voltage.

So power loss is proportional to the inverse square of the voltage.

In this case the voltage ratio is 50 kV / (12 kV) = 4.17 approx., so the ratio of power losses is about 1 / 4.17^2 = 1 / 16.5 = .06.

Note that this is the same approximate ratio you would get if you divided your 324.5 watts by 5624.7 watts. **

Query 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?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:44:30

** 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. **

The force on a current is I * L * B sin(theta) = 150 amps * 160 meters * 5.5 * 10^-5 T * sin(65 deg) = 1.20 amp * m * (N / (amp m) ) = 1.20 Newtons.

Note that a Tesla, the unit of magnetic field, has units of Newtons / (amp meter), meaning that a 1 Tesla field acting perpendicular to a 1 amp current in a carrier of length 1 meters produces a force of 1 Newton. The question didn't ask, but be sure you know that the direction of the force is perpendicular to the directions of the current and of the field, as determined by the right-hand rule (fingers in direction of current, hand oriented to 'turn' fingers toward field, thumb in direction of force).

22:51:18

The magnitude of the force on a moving charge, exerted by a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of motion, is q v B, where q is the charge, v the velocity and B the field. The force in this case is therefore

F = q v B = 1.6 * 10^-19 C * 8.75 * 10^5 m/s * .75 T = 1.05 * 10^-13 C m/s * T = 1.05 * 10^-13 N.

(units analysis: C m/s * T = C m/s * (N / (amp m) ) = C m/s * (kg m/s^2) / ((C/s) * m), with all units expressed as fundamental units. The C m/s in the numerator 'cancels' with the C m/s in the denominator, leaving kg m/s^2, or Newtons).

The direction of the force is determined by the right-hand rule (q v X B) with the fingers in the direction of the vector q v, with the hand oriented to turn the fingers toward the direction of B. The charge q of the electron is negative, so q v will be in the direction opposite v, to the west. In order for the fingers to 'turn' qv toward B, the palm will therefore be facing upward, the fingers toward the west, so that the thumb will be pointing to the north. The force is therefore directed to the north.

Query General Physics Problem (formerly 20.32, but omitted from new version). This problem is not assigned but you should solve it now: If an electron is considered to orbit a proton in a circular orbit of radius .529 * 10^-10 meters (the electron doesn't really move around the proton in a circle; the behavior of this system at the quantum level does not actually involve a circular orbit, but the result obtained from this assumption agrees with the results of quantum mechanics), the electron's motion constitutes a current along its path. What is the field produced at the location of the proton by the current that results from this 'orbit'? To obtain an answer you might want to first answer the two questions:

1. What is the velocity of the electron?

2. What therefore is the current produced by the electron?

How did you calculate the magnetic field produced by this current?

**If you know the orbital velocity of the electron and orbital radius then you can determine how long it takes to return to a given point in its orbit. So the charge of 1 electron 'circulates' around the orbit in that time interval.

Current is charge flowing past a point / time interval.

Setting centripetal force = Coulomb attraction for the orbital radius, which is .529 Angstroms = .529 * 10^-10 meters, we have

m v^2 / r = k q1 q2 / r^2 so that

v = sqrt(k q1 q2 / (m r) ). Evaluating for k, with q1 = q2 = fundamental charge and m = mass of the electron we obtain

v = 2.19 * 10^6 m/s.

The circumference of the orbit is

`dt = 2 pi r

so the time required to complete an orbit is

`dt = 2 pi r / v, which we evaluate for the v obtained above. We find that

`dt = 1.52 * 10^-16 second.

Thus the current is

I = `dq / `dt = q / `dt, where q is the charge of the electron. Simplifying we get

I = .00105 amp, approx..

The magnetic field due to a .00105 amp current in a loop of radius .529 Angstroms is

B = k ' * 2 pi r I / r^2 = 2 pi k ' I / r = 12.5 Tesla. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:56:35

The average magnitude of the output is peak output/sqrt(2) . We find the average output as ave rate of flux change.

The area of a single coil is (21 cm)^2 = (.21 m)^2 and the magnetic field is .65 Tesla; there are 320 coils. When the plane of the coil is perpendicular to the field we get the maximum flux of

fluxMax = .65 T * (.21 m)^2 * 320 = 19.2 T m^2.

The flux will decrease to zero in 1/4 cycle. Letting t_cycle stand for the time of a complete cycle we have

ave magnitude of field = magnitude of change in flux / change in t = 9.17T m^2 / (1/4 t_cycle) = 36.7 T m^2 / t_cycle.

If peak output is 120 volts the ave voltage is 120 V / sqrt(2) so we have

36.7 T m^2 / t_cycle = 120 V / sqrt(2).

We easily solve for t_cycle to obtain t_cycle = 36.7 T m^2 / (120 V / sqrt(2) ) = .432 second.+

A purely symbolic solution uses

maximum flux = n * B * A

average voltage = V_peak / sqrt(2), where V_peak is the peak voltage

giving us

ave rate of change of flux = average voltage so that

n B * A / (1/4 t_cycle) = V_peak / sqrt(2), which we solve for t_cycle to get

t_cycle = 4 n B A * sqrt(2) / V_peak = 4 * 320 * .65 T * (.21 m)^2 * sqrt(2) / (120 V) = .432 second.

** The magnetic field due to the wire at distance r is 2 k ' I / r. The field is radial around the wire and so by the right-hand rule (thumb in direction of current, fingers point in direction of field) is downward into the page.

The area of the strip is L * `dr.

The magnetic flux thru the strip is therefore 2 k ' I / r * (L `dr).

The total magnetic field over a series of such strips partitioning the area is thus

sum(2 k ' I / r * L `dr, r from a to b).

Taking the limit as `dr -> 0 we get

}

integral (2 k ' I / r * L with respect to r, r from a to b).

Our antiderivative is 2 k ' I ln | r | * L; the definite integral therefore comes out to

flux = 2 k ' L ln | b / a | * I.

If I is changing then we have

rate of change of flux = 2 k ' L ln | b / a | * dI/dt.

This is the induced emf through a single turn.

You can easily substitute a = 12.0 cm = .12 m, b = 36.0 cm = .36 m, L = 24.0 cm = .24 m and di/dt = 9.60 A / s, and multiply by the number of turns. **
