6.2 Faraday’s law of induction: lenz’s law  (Page 4/6)

Referring to [link] (a), what is the direction of the current induced in coil 2: (a) If the current in coil 1 increases? (b) If the current in coil 1 decreases? (c) If the current in coil 1 is constant? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Lenz's Law .

Referring to [link] (b), what is the direction of the current induced in the coil: (a) If the current in the wire increases? (b) If the current in the wire decreases? (c) If the current in the wire suddenly changes direction? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Lenz’s Law .

Referring to [link] , what are the directions of the currents in coils 1, 2, and 3 (assume that the coils are lying in the plane of the circuit): (a) When the switch is first closed? (b) When the switch has been closed for a long time? (c) Just after the switch is opened?

Repeat the previous problem with the battery reversed.

Verify that the units of $\mathrm{\Delta }\Phi$ / $\mathrm{\Delta }t$ are volts. That is, show that $1\text{T}\cdot {\text{m}}^2/\text{s}=\mathrm{1\; V}$ .

Suppose a 50-turn coil lies in the plane of the page in a uniform magnetic field that is directed into the page. The coil originally has an area of $0.250{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}$ . It is stretched to have no area in 0.100 s. What is the direction and magnitude of the induced emf if the uniform magnetic field has a strength of 1.50 T?

(a) An MRI technician moves his hand from a region of very low magnetic field strength into an MRI scanner’s 2.00 T field with his fingers pointing in the direction of the field. Find the average emf induced in his wedding ring, given its diameter is 2.20 cm and assuming it takes 0.250 s to move it into the field. (b) Discuss whether this current would significantly change the temperature of the ring.

Integrated Concepts

Referring to the situation in the previous problem: (a) What current is induced in the ring if its resistance is 0.0100 $\Omega$ ? (b) What average power is dissipated? (c) What magnetic field is induced at the center of the ring? (d) What is the direction of the induced magnetic field relative to the MRI’s field?

An emf is induced by rotating a 1000-turn, 20.0 cm diameter coil in the Earth’s $5\text{.}\text{00}\times {\text{10}}^{-5}\text{T}$ magnetic field. What average emf is induced, given the plane of the coil is originally perpendicular to the Earth’s field and is rotated to be parallel to the field in 10.0 ms?

A 0.250 m radius, 500-turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally having its plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. (This is 60 rev/s.) Find the magnetic field strength needed to induce an average emf of 10,000 V.

Integrated Concepts

Approximately how does the emf induced in the loop in [link] (b) depend on the distance of the center of the loop from the wire?

Integrated Concepts

(a) A lightning bolt produces a rapidly varying magnetic field. If the bolt strikes the earth vertically and acts like a current in a long straight wire, it will induce a voltage in a loop aligned like that in [link] (b). What voltage is induced in a 1.00 m diameter loop 50.0 m from a $2\text{.}\text{00}\times {\text{10}}^6\text{A}$ lightning strike, if the current falls to zero in $\mathrm{25.0\; \mu s}$ ? (b) Discuss circumstances under which such a voltage would produce noticeable consequences.
