Concept explainers
The power lines that run through your neighborhood carry alternating currents that reverse direction 120 times per second. As the current changes, so does the magnetic field around a line. Suppose you wanted to put a loop of wire up near the power line to extract power by “tapping" the magnetic field. Sketch a picture of how you would orient the coil of wire next to a power line to develop the maximum emf in the coil. (Note that this is dangerous and illegal, and not something you should try.)

The total resistance of tire coil and ballistic galvanometer is 0.20 When the coil is flipped through 180° in a magnetic fielda change of 0.090 C flows through the ballistic galvanometer.

A conducting rod of length 2D is placed in the region, as shown below. Show that the emf between the ends of the rod is given by dBdtDR2D2 . ( Hint: To find the between the ends, we need to integrate the electric field from one end to the other. To find the electric field, use Faraday’s law as “Ampere’s law for E”.)arrow_forwardA coil of area 0.100 m2 is rotating at 60.0 rev/s with the axis of rotation perpendicular to a 0.200-T magnetic field.

The plane of the loop must remain perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. In which orientation should you hold the loop while you move it into the region of magnetic field so as to generate the largest emf? (a) with the long dimension of the loop parallel to the velocity vector (b) with the short dimension of the loop parallel to the velocity vector (c) either way because the emf is the same regardless of orientationarrow_forward
