Chapter 30, Problem 32AP

Consider the apparatus shown in Figure P30.32: a conducting bar is moved along two rails connected to an incandescent lightbulb. The whole system is immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.400 T perpendicular and into the page. The distance between the horizontal rails is = 0.800 m. The resistance of the lightbulb is R = 48.0 Ω, assumed to be constant. The bar and rails have negligible resistance. The bar is moved toward the right by a constant force of magnitude F = 0.600 N. We wish to find the maximum power delivered to the lightbulb. (a) Find an expression for the current in the lightbulb as a function of B, , R, and v, the speed of the bar. (b) When the maximum power is delivered to the lightbulb, what analysis model properly describes the moving bar? (c) Use the analysis model in part (b) to find a numerical value for the speed v of the bar when the maximum power is being delivered to the lightbulb. (d) Find the current in the lightbulb when maximum power is being delivered to it. (e) Using P = I2R, what is the maximum power delivered to the lightbulb? (f) What is the maximum mechanical input power delivered to the bar by the force F? (g) We have assumed the resistance of the lightbulb is constant. In reality, as the power delivered to the lightbulb increases, the filament temperature increases and the resistance increases. Does the speed found in part (c) change if the resistance increases and all other quantities are held constant? (h) If so, does the speed found in part (c) increase or decrease? If not, explain. (i) With the assumption that the resistance of the lightbulb increases as the current increases, does the power found in part (f) change? (j) If so, is the power found in part (f) larger or smaller? If not, explain.

The expression for current as a function of B , l , R and v .

Answer to Problem 32AP

The expression for current as a function of B , l , R and v is BlvR .

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Magnetic field of system is 0.400T , distance between the horizontal rails is 0.800m , resistance of the light bulb is 48.0Ω and force on the bar is 0.600N .

The emf develop in the system can be given as,

ε=Blv

Here,

ε is the emf induced in the circuit.

B is the magnetic field in the loop.

l is the distance between the rails.

v is the speed of bar.

The current developed in the bar can be given as,

I=εR

Here,

I is the current in the bar.

R is the resistance in the resistor.

Substitute Blv for ε in the above equation,

I=BlvR (1)

To determine
The analysis model which describes the moving bar for maximum power.

Answer to Problem 32AP

The analysis model which describes the moving bar for maximum power is particle under equilibrium.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Magnetic field of system is 0.400T , distance between the horizontal rails is 0.800m , resistance of the light bulb is 48.0Ω and force on the bar is 0.600N .

The power delivered to the light bulb can be given as,

P=Fv

Here,

P is the power delivered.

F is the force on the bar.

v is the speed of the bar.

As the power is function of both force and speed, in order to maximize the power both force and velocity needs to be maximum. The desired condition can only be achieved if there is loss of energy whatsoever which can only be possible if the particle is in equilibrium.

Thus, the analysis model which describes the moving bar for maximum power is particle under equilibrium.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the analysis model which describes the moving bar for maximum power is particle under equilibrium.

The speed of the bar when maximum power is delivered to the light bulb.

Answer to Problem 32AP

The speed of the bar when maximum power is delivered to the light bulb is 281.25m/s .

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Magnetic field of system is 0.400T , distance between the horizontal rails is 0.800m , resistance of the light bulb is 48.0Ω and force on the bar is 0.600N .

F=IBl

Substitute BlvR for I in the above equation,

F=(BlvR)Bl=B2l2vR

Rearrange the above equation for v ,

v=FRB2l2 (2)

Substitute 0.600N for F , 48.0Ω for R , 0.400T for B and 0.800m for l in the above equation,

v=(0.600N)(48.0Ω)(0.400T)2(0.800m)2=281.25m/s

Thus, the speed of the bar is 281.25m/s .

Substitute 48.0Ω for R , 0.400T for B , 281.25m/s for v and 0.800m for l in the above equation,

I=(0.400T)(0.800m)(281.25m/s)48.0Ω=1.875A

Thus, the current in light bulb is 1.875A .

Substitute 1.875A for I and 48.0Ω for R in the above equation,

P=(1.875A)2(48.0Ω)=168.75W

Thus, the maximum power delivered to the light bulb is 168.75W .

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Magnetic field of system is 0.400T , distance between the horizontal rails is 0.800m , resistance of the light bulb is 48.0Ω and force on the bar is 0.600N .

Consider the expression for speed of the bar from equation (2),

v=FRB2l2R

To determine
The effect of increase in resistance and current on the mechanical power input.

Answer to Problem 32AP

The effect of increase in resistance and current on the mechanical power input is that it will change.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Magnetic field of system is 0.400T , distance between the horizontal rails is 0.800m , resistance of the light bulb is 48.0Ω and force on the bar is 0.600N .

As far as the mechanical power input is concerned it only depends on the load and the velocity of the object. Since the current in electrical machinery is analogous to mechanical load, an increase in current will lead to change in mechanical load which further changes the mechanical power input.

Thus, the mechanical power input will change.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the effect of increase in resistance and current on the mechanical power input is that it will change.

(j)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine
Whether the mechanical power input will be larger or smaller.

Answer to Problem 32AP

The mechanical power input will be larger if the current and resistance will increases.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Magnetic field of system is 0.400T , distance between the horizontal rails is 0.800m , resistance of the light bulb is 48.0Ω and force on the bar is 0.600N .

Both current and resistance can never increase as it violates Ohm’s law which says that current is inversely proportional to resistance.

In order to increase current despite increase in resistance, the load demand will increase to increase the current supply, this further increases the power.

Thus, the mechanical power input will increase if both current and resistance will increase.

Conclusion:

Thus, the mechanical power input will increase if both current and resistance will increase.
