- A thin wire ℓ = 30.0 cm long is held parallel to and d = 80.0 cm above a long, thin wire carrying I = 200 A and fixed in position (Fig. P30.47). The 30.0-cm wire is released at the instant t = 0 and falls, remaining parallel to the current-carrying wire as it falls. Assume the falling wire accelerates at 9.80 m/s2. (a) Derive an equation for the emf induced in it as a function of time. (b) What is the minimum value of the emf? (c) What is the maximum value? (d) What is the induced emf 0.300 s after the wire is released?arrow_forwardTwo wires AC and BC are attached to a 7 Kg sphere that It rotates at constant speed v in the horizontal circle shown in the figure. Yes θ1 = 55° and θ2= 30 ° and d 1.4 m, determine the range of values of v for which both wires are held taut.arrow_forwardIn earlier times when many households received nondigital television signals from an antenna, the lead-in wires from the antenna were often constructed in the form of two paral- lel wires (Fig. P31.50). The two wires carry currents of equal magnitude in opposite directions. The center-to-center separation of the wires is w, and a is their radius. Assume w is large enough compared with a that the wires carry the current uniformly distributed over their surfaces and negli- gible magnetic field exists inside the wires. (a) Why does this configuration of conductors have an inductance? (b) What TV antenna TV set Figure P31.50 constitutes the flux loop for this configuration?

- A very long solenoid of circular cross section with radius a= 5.40 cm has n= 62.0 turns/cm of wire. An electron is sitting outside the solenoid, at a distance r= 5.90 cm from the solenoid axis. What is the magnitude of the force on the electron while the current in the solenoid is ramped up at a rate of 28.0 Amps/s?arrow_forwardIn Figure P19.2, assume in each case the velocity vector shownis replaced with a wire carrying a current in the direction ofthe velocity vector. For each case, find the direction of themagnetic force acting on the wire.arrow_forwardRail guns have been suggested for launching projectiles into space without chemical rockets. A tabletop model rail gun (as shown) consists of two long, parallel, horizontal rails ℓ = 3.50 cm apart, bridged by a bar of mass m = 3.00 g that is free to slide without friction. The rails and bar have low electric resistance, and the current is limited to a constant I = 24.0 A by a power supply that is far to the left of the figure, so it has no magnetic effect on the bar. As shown the bar at rest at the midpoint of the rails at the moment the current is established. We wish to find the speed with which the bar leaves the rails after being released from the midpoint of the rails. (a) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 1.75 cm from a single long wire carrying a current of 2.40 A. (b) For purposes of evaluating the magnetic field, model the rails as infinitely long. Using the result of part (a), find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the midpoint of…arrow_forward

The wire is in a uniform field of magnitude B = 0.0860 T. A switch (unshown) is rapidly closed and then reopened, sending a pulse of current through the wire, which causes the wire to jump upward. If jump height h = 4.00 m, how much charge was in the pulse? Assume that the duration of the pulse is much less than the time of flight. Hg.

- 5. A schematic drawing of a rail gun. Projectile P sits between two wide rails of circular cross section; a source of current sends current through the rails and through the (conducting) projectile (a fuse is not used).
