Chapter 8.1, Problem 2dT

At two later instants, t = t 1 and t = t 1 + Δ t the loop is located as shown.

Chapter 8.1, Problem 2dT, At two later instants, t=t1andt=t1+t the loop is located as shown. Use Lenz’ law to determine

  1. Use Lenz’ law to determine whether the flux due to the current induced in the loop is positive, negative, or zero. Explain.
  2. Describe the current in the loop during this time interval.

  • Consider the following student dialogue:
  • Student 1: “The sign of the flux is the same as it was in part C. So the current here will also be counter-clockwise.”

    Student 2: “I agree. If I think about the force on a positive charge on the leading edge of the loop. ¡t points towards the top of the page. That's consistent with a counter-clockwise current.”

    Do you agree with either student? Explain.

    The arrangement illustrated in the figure below is composed of six finite straight wires of length l. The electric current flowing in such an arrangement is i. Using the Biot-Savart law, calculate: The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P due to the wire located along segment ab.The answer is in the second image. I am trying to use the standard biot-savart, which is B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and it always gives me 16*pi*l at the denominator, instead of 8pi*l. Solve it using B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and note that the image with the answer is correct.
    The current I in a long, straight wire is constant and is directed toward the right. Conducting loops A, B, C, and D are moving, in the directions shown, near the wire. a)  Is the direction of the induced current clockwise or counterclockwise, or is the induced current zero for loop D? Briefly explain. b) What is the direction of the net force that the wire exerts on the loop D? (No explanation is needed.) c) Is the direction of the induced current clockwise or counterclockwise, or is the induced current zero for loop C? Briefly explain.
    A conducting cylinder is free to roll along two inclined conducting rails connected to a power supply, as shown in the top view below (uphill is to the left). (The magnetic field vector B points exactly vertically downward, and so is not perpendicular to the inclined rails.) Find an expression for the minimum current I needed to make the cylinder roll uphill, in terms of w, |B|, the incline angle theta, and the cylinder's mass m. Do not assume that theta is small.
