The expression for the flux through a loop.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The flux through a loop is the product of its area and the normal component of the magnetic field.
Explanation of Solution
The magnetic flux is the number of magnetic field lines that passing the area inside the loop. Therefore, the magnetic flux increases with increase in the area of the loop.
Magnetic flux through a loop is directly proportional to the number of magnetic lines passes through the loop area and the component of magnetic field normal to the loop.
Write the expression for the magnetic flux
Here,
Conclusion:
Thus, the flux through a loop is the product of its area and the normal component of the magnetic field.

- Suppose a biological membrane with a specific capacitance of 1 μF/cm^2 has a resting surface charge density of 0.1 μC/cm^2. Also suppose there are 50 sodium channels per μm^2 and thatwhen each opens for 1 ms, 1000 Na+ ions flow through the channel, resulting in a reduction of the potential difference (the membrane voltage). Compare this membrane’s resting potentialvoltage to the membrane voltage 1 ms after 10% of these channels open, assuming no other changes occur during this time.arrow_forwardWhat is voltage at terminal AB?arrow_forwardAssume a length of axon membrane of about 0.10 m is excited by an action potential (length excited = nerve speed × pulse duration = 50.0 m/s × 0.0020 s = 0.10 m). In the resting state, the outer surface of the axon wall is charged positively with K+ ions and the inner wall has an equal and opposite charge of negative organic ions, as shown in the figure below. Model the axon as a parallel-plate capacitor and take C = ??0A/d and Q = CΔV to investigate the charge as follows. Use typical values for a cylindrical axon of cell wall thickness d = 1.1 ✕ 10−8 m, axon radius r = 2.0 ✕ 101 ?m, and cell-wall dielectric constant ? = 2.7. A diagram shows a collection of positive and negative charges in and around an axon. The diagram is divided into three sections, one on top of the other. The top section is labeled "External fluid". A row of positive charges labeled "Positive charge layer" lies along the bottom side of this section. Above the row of positive charges, there is an even mixture of…arrow_forward
