A flashlight can be made that is powered by the induced current from a magnet moving through a coil of wire. The coil and magnet are inside a plastic tube that can be shaken causing the magnet to move back and forth through the coil. Assume the magnet has a maximum field strength of 0.05 T. Make reasonable assumptions and specify the size of the coil and the number of turns necessary to light a standard 1-watt, 3-V flashlight bulb.

(b) Explain why very little current flows as a result of this Hall voltage.arrow_forwardA flip coil is a relatively simple device used to measure a magnetic field, It consists of a circular coil of N turns wound with fine conducting wire. The coil is attached to a ballistic galvanometer, a device that measures the total charge that passes through it. The coil is placed in a magnetic field B such that its face is perpendicular to the field. It is then flipped through 180°, and tire total charge Q that flows through the galvanometer is measured. (a) If the total resistance of tire coil and galvanometer Is R, what is the relationship between B and Q? Because the coil is very small, you can assume that Bis uniform over it.

Suppose a malfunction slops the motor shaft from rotating. At what rate will internal energy be produced in the windings in this case? (Most motors have a thermal switch that will turn off the motor to prevent overheating when this stalling occurs.)arrow_forwardUnreasonable results Frustrated by the small Hall voltage obtained in blood flow measurements, a medical physicist decides to increase the applied magnetic field strength to get a 0.500-V output for blood moving at 30.0 cm/s in a 1.50-cm-diameter vessel.

He glues a strong magnet to Shadow’s collar, then puts a coil of wires consisting of 100 turns each with an area of 0.2m^2 next to some cat food. When Shadow walks through the coil, a current is induced in the loops which triggers a switch to drop a cage on Shadow. A minimum current of 0.2A is needed to spring the trap. The coils have a resistance of 120ohms. If the change in magnetic field is 0.3T in 0.2s as shadow walks through the coils, does the trap spring?

- A conducting wire shaped in a “U shape” is connected to a 5 ohm light bulb.The 0.8 T external magnetic field is directed into the page as shown. A conducting bar of length 1.2 m is sliding on the conducting wire at 2 m/s to the right. What is the induced emf? Hint: the induced emf is the negative of the change in magnetic flux. The magnetic flux changes because the area of the U shaped wire placed in the magnetic field changes when the conducting wire slides to the right.
