Question

An infinite straight wire carries current I1 = 5 A in the positive y-direction as shown. At time t = 0, a conducting wire, aligned with the y-direction is located a distance d = 53 cm from the y-axis and moves with velocity v = 19 cm/s in the negaitve x-direction as shown. The wire has length W = 12 cm.

1)What is (0), the emf induced in the moving wire at t = 0? Define the emf to be positive if the potential at point a is higher than that at point b.

V

2)What is (t1), the emf induced in the moving wire at t = t1 = 1.9 s? Define the emf to be positive if the potential at point a is higher than that at point b.

V

3)

The wire is now replaced by a conducting rectangular loop as shown. The loop has length L = 51 cm and width W = 12 cm. At time t = 0, the loop moves with velocity v = 19 cm/s with its left end located a distance d = 53 cm from the y-axis. The resistance of the loop is R = 2.9 . What is i(0), the induced current in the loop at time t = 0? Define the current to be positive if it flows in the counter-clockwise direction.A

4)

Suppose the loop now moves in the positive y-direction as shown. What is the direction of the induced current now?(choose correct answer)

A- The current flows counterclockwise

B-The current flows clockwise

C-There is no induced current now

5)

Suppose now that the loop is rotated 90o and moves with velocity v = 19 cm/s in the positive x-direction as shown. What is I2, the current in the infinite wire, if the induced current in the loop at the instant shown (d = 53 cm) is the same as it was in the third part of this problem (i.e., when the left end of loop was at a distance d = 53 cm from the y-axis)?

A

Explanation / Answer

I1=5A

Distance=d=0.53m

Velocity=0.19m/sec

Lenghtvof wire=W=0.12m

Part(1);

Induced emf, E= v×W×B

B=uoI/2pi d

=4(3.14)×10-7(5)/2(3.14)(0.53)

=18.8×10-7T

Induced emf=(0.19)(0.12)(18.8×10-7)

= 0.428×10-7

=4.28×10-8V

Part (2);

Distance between the wire=d'=d-(v×t1)

=0.53 - (0.19×1.9)

=1.18m

B'=uoI/2pi d'

=4(3.14)×10-7(5)/2(3.14)(1.18)

=8.4×10-7T

E'=v×W×B'

=(0.19)(0.12)(8.4×10-7)

=1.9×10-8V

Part(3);

Lenght of the loop=0.51m, width=0.12m , resistance R=2.9 ohm

Induced emf in the left side of the loop=E=4.28×10-8

B''= uoI/2(pi)d"

= (4)(3.14)×10-7(5)/2(3.14)(0.51+0.53)

=9.65×10-7T

Induced emf in the right side= E''=(0.19)(0.12)(9.65×10-7)

=2.20×10-8V

Induced current= i= E"/R

=2.30×10-8/2.9

= 0.75×10-8A

Part(4);

Here velocity is parallel to current, hence induced emf= 0V. So there is no induced current.
