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.

- (a) What is the speed of a supersonic aircraft with a 17.0-m wingspan, if it experiences a 1.60V Hall voltage between its wing lips when in level flight over the north magnetic pole, where the Earth's field strength is 8.00105T ? (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. (b) How can you determine whether or not tire magnetic field is perpendicular to the face of the coil?arrow_forwardA coil with a self-inductance of 3.0 H and a resistance of 100 2 carries a steady current of 2.0 A. (a) What is the energy stored in the magnetic field of the coil? (b) What is the energy per second dissipated in the resistance of the coil?arrow_forward
- Review. In Figure P30.42, a uniform magnetic field decreases at a constant rate dB/dt = K, where K is a positive constant. A circular loop of wire of radius a containing a resistance R and a capacitance C is placed with its plane normal to the field. (a) Find the charge Q on the capacitor when it is fully charged. (b) Which plate, upper or lower, is at the higher potential? (c) Discuss the force that causes the separation of charges. Figure P30.42arrow_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. (a) What magnetic field strength is needed? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (C) Which premise is responsible?arrow_forwardA motor in normal operation carries a direct current of 0.850 A when connected to a 120-V power supply. The resistance of the motor windings is 11.8 . While in normal operation, (a) what is the back emf generated by the motor? (b) At what rate is internal energy produced in the windings? (c) What If? 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_forward
- The flip coil of the preceding problem has a radius of 3.0 cm and is wound with 40 turns of copper wire. 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) Assuming that and the face of the coil are initially perpendicular, what is tire magnetic field? (b) If the coil is flipped through 90°, what is tire reading of the galvanometer?arrow_forwardMRI: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a very strong magnet to create an image. The maximum strength of the magnetic field is 1.5 T. Because the magnet is switched on and off quickly, it can induce large eddy currents in metal objects. Suppose a patient is wearing a metal ring with a radius of 1.4 cm and a mass of 110 g. Such a ring has a resistance of about 0.016 N. If the magnet in the MRI rises from 0T to its maximum strength of 1.5 Tin 1.94 ms, what is the maximum current that could be induced in the ring?arrow_forward
