Fleming's left-hand rule pairs with determining the direction of force on a current-carrying conductor; Right-hand grip rule pairs with determining the direction of magnetic field around a straight wire; Lenz's law pairs with determining the direction of an induced current.

Each rule specifically identifies a vector direction in electromagnetism: Fleming's left-hand rule identifies the force direction on a current-carrying conductor, the Right-hand grip rule gives the magnetic field pattern surrounding a current-carrying wire, and Lenz's law gives the direction of an induced current.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the primary purpose of Fleming's left-hand rule

It relates magnetic field, current, and motion/force on a current-carrying conductor.

The thumb points to force, index finger to magnetic field, and middle finger to current.

2

Identify the primary purpose of the Right-hand grip rule

It determines the magnetic field direction around a straight wire carrying current.

Grasping the conductor with the thumb pointing in current direction causes the curled fingers to point in the field direction.

3

Identify the primary purpose of Lenz's law

It gives the polarity and direction of induced electromagnetic effects.

Lenz's law ensures conservation of energy by opposing the initial flux change.

An alternating current (AC) series circuit contains a resistor of resistance $R = 30\ \Omega$ , an inductor of inductive reactance $X_L = 80\ \Omega$ , and a capacitor of capacitive reactance $X_C = 40\ \Omega$ . The circuit is connected across an AC supply with a peak voltage of $V_0 = 100\sqrt{2}\text{ V}$ . What is the average power dissipated in the circuit?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $120\text{ W}$

Cevap

The average electrical power dissipated in the circuit is

120\text{ W}

.

The average power dissipated in an AC series circuit depends solely on the resistive component. First, converting peak voltage

V_0 = 100\sqrt{2}\text{ V}

yields an RMS voltage of

V_{\text{rms}} = 100\text{ V}

. Computing the circuit impedance yields

Z = \sqrt{30^2 + (80 - 40)^2} = 50\ \Omega

. This produces an RMS current of

I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{100}{50} = 2\text{ A}

. Finally, substituting into

P_{\text{avg}} = I_{\text{rms}}^2 R

gives

(2)^2 \times 30 = 120\text{ W}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the root-mean-square (RMS) voltage of the AC supply.

V_{\text{rms}} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{100\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 100\text{ V}

AC power calculations require RMS voltage values rather than peak voltage values.

2

Calculate the net impedance (

Z

) of the series RLC circuit.

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = \sqrt{30^2 + (80 - 40)^2} = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2} = \sqrt{2500} = 50\ \Omega

Resistance and reactances combine quadratically due to phase differences between voltage across components.

3

Calculate the RMS current (

I_{\text{rms}}

) flowing through the circuit.

I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{V_{\text{rms}}}{Z} = \frac{100\text{ V}}{50\ \Omega} = 2\text{ A}

Ohm's law for AC circuits states

I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{V_{\text{rms}}}{Z}

.

4

Calculate the average power dissipated in the circuit.

P_{\text{avg}} = I_{\text{rms}}^2 R = (2\text{ A})^2 \times 30\ \Omega = 120\text{ W}

Power is dissipated only in resistive elements, as pure inductors and capacitors store and return energy without net loss.

Cevap

The terminal potential difference across the cell is

1.25\text{ V}

.

When current flows through a closed circuit, voltage drops across both the external load resistor and the cell's internal resistance. Subtracting the lost voltage (

0.25\text{ V}

) from the electromotive force (

1.50\text{ V}

) yields a terminal potential difference of

2

Calculate the total electric current flowing through the circuit

I = \frac{E}{R + r} = \frac{1.5\text{ V}}{3.0\text{ }\Omega} = 0.5\text{ A}

Ohm's law for a complete circuit states that current equals total e.m.f. divided by total circuit resistance.

Cevap: $40\text{ }\mu\text{C}$

Cevap

The charge stored on the

2\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor is

40\text{ }\mu\text{C}

.

To find the charge on the

2\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor, we first combine the parallel capacitors (

2\text{ }\mu\text{F} + 1\text{ }\mu\text{F} = 3\text{ }\mu\text{F}

). Next, we combine this in series with the

6\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor to get an overall capacitance

C_{eq} = 2\text{ }\mu\text{F}

. The total charge drawn from the

30\text{ V}

supply is

Q = 2\text{ }\mu\text{F} \times 30\text{ V} = 60\text{ }\mu\text{C}

. This total charge enters the parallel combination, giving a potential drop across the parallel branch of

V_p = 60\text{ }\mu\text{C} / 3\text{ }\mu\text{F} = 20\text{ V}

. Therefore, the charge on the

2\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor is

2\text{ }\mu\text{F} \times 20\text{ V} = 40\text{ }\mu\text{C}

.

2

Calculate the total equivalent capacitance of the network

C_{eq} = \frac{6 \times 3}{6 + 3} = \frac{18}{9} = 2\text{ }\mu\text{F}

The

6\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor and the

3\text{ }\mu\text{F}

Find the total charge supplied by the

30\text{ V}

source

Q_{total} = C_{eq} \times V = 2\text{ }\mu\text{F} \times 30\text{ V} = 60\text{ }\mu\text{C}

Total charge is the product of equivalent capacitance and total voltage.

4

Determine the potential difference across the parallel branch

V_{p} = \frac{Q_{total}}{C_{p}} = \frac{60\text{ }\mu\text{C}}{3\text{ }\mu\text{F}} = 20\text{ V}

The total charge flows through the series combination, creating a potential drop across the parallel combination equal to

Q_{total} / C_{p}

.

Calculate the charge on the

2\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor

Q_{2\mu\text{F}} = C_{2\mu\text{F}} \times V_{p} = 2\text{ }\mu\text{F} \times 20\text{ V} = 40\text{ }\mu\text{C}

Cevap: $3.0$

Cevap

The ratio of the drift velocity in wire X to that in wire Y is 3.0.

Because the wires are connected in series, the same current passes through both (

I_X = I_Y

). Using the formula for electric current in terms of drift velocity

I = n A e v_d

, where cross-sectional area

A = \pi d^2 / 4

, we find

v_d \propto 1 / (n d^2)

. Taking the ratio yields

v_X / v_Y = (n_Y d_Y^2) / (n_X d_X^2) = (2.0 \times 10^{28} \times 3.0^2) / (6.0 \times 10^{28} \times 1.0^2) = 18 / 6 = 3.0

Apply the series connection constraint.

In a series circuit, the steady current flowing through every conductor is identical.

3

Rearrange to solve for the drift velocity ratio

v_X / v_Y

.

\frac{v_X}{v_Y} = \frac{n_Y d_Y^2}{n_X d_X^2}

Isolating

v_X / v_Y

demonstrates inverse proportionality to electron density and the square of conductor diameter.

Substitute the given values into the ratio expression.

\frac{v_X}{v_Y} = \frac{(2.0 \times 10^{28}\,\text{m}^{-3}) \times (3.0\,\text{mm})^2}{(6.0 \times 10^{28}\,\text{m}^{-3}) \times (1.0\,\text{mm})^2} = \frac{2.0 \times 9.0}{6.0 \times 1.0} = \frac{18.0}{6.0} = 3.0

Cevap: $20\text{ V}$

Cevap

20\text{ V}

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the magnitude of induced electromotive force equals the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage. Because the magnetic field direction is completely reversed, the change in field magnitude is

\Delta B = 0.50 - (-0.50) = 1.0\text{ T}

. Multiplying by the area (

4.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m}^2

) and turn count (

100

), then dividing by the duration (

0.02\text{ s}

) gives

20\text{ V}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the change in magnetic flux density (

\Delta B

)

\Delta B = B_f - B_i = -0.50\text{ T} - 0.50\text{ T} = -1.0\text{ T}

, so

|\Delta B| = 1.0\text{ T}

Reversing the magnetic field direction changes the sign of the flux density relative to the coil area.

2

Calculate the total change in magnetic flux linkage (

\Delta \Phi_{total}

)

\Delta \Phi_{total} = N \cdot A \cdot |\Delta B| = 100 \times (4.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m}^2) \times 1.0\text{ T} = 0.40\text{ Wb-turns}

The total magnetic flux linkage is proportional to the number of turns, the surface area, and the net field change.

3

Apply Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to find the induced e.m.f. (

\mathcal{E}

)

\mathcal{E} = \frac{\Delta \Phi_{total}}{\Delta t} = \frac{0.40\text{ Wb-turns}}{0.02\text{ s}} = 20\text{ V}

The induced e.m.f. magnitude is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage.

Cevap: $600\,\text{C}$

Cevap

600\,\text{C}

Electric current (

I

) is defined as the rate of charge flow (

Q

) per unit time (

t

), expressed as

Q = I \times t

. Converting

4.0\,\text{minutes}

into seconds gives

4.0 \times 60 = 240\,\text{s}

. Multiplying the current of

2.5\,\text{A}

by

240\,\text{s}

yields

600\,\text{C}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the time duration from minutes to seconds

t = 4.0\,\text{minutes} = 4.0 \times 60\,\text{s} = 240\,\text{seconds}

The standard SI unit for time in electromagnetism formulas is seconds.

2

Apply the formula relating electric charge, current, and time (

Q = I \times t

)

Q = 2.5\,\text{A} \times 240\,\text{s} = 600\,\text{C}

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge (

I = \frac{Q}{t}

).

Cevap: $12.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}$

Cevap

The total equivalent capacitance of the network is

12.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

.

Combining the two identical

12\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitors in series gives an equivalent capacitance of

6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

. Adding this in parallel with the

6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor yields

6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F} + 6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F} = 12.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the equivalent capacitance (

C_s

) of the two

12\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitors connected in series.

C_s = \frac{12 \times 12}{12 + 12} = 6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

Capacitors in series combine reciprocally:

\frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}

.

2

Calculate the total equivalent capacitance (

C_{eq}

) by adding

C_s

to the parallel

6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

capacitor.

C_{eq} = C_s + C_3 = 6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F} + 6.0\text{ }\mu\text{F} = 12.0\text{ }\mu\text{F}

Capacitors in parallel add directly:

C_{eq} = C_{series} + C_{parallel}

A rectangular coil of $100$ turns with dimensions $0.10\text{ m}$ by $0.20\text{ m}$ is positioned perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of $0.50\text{ T}$ . The coil is rotated through $90^\circ$ about an axis perpendicular to the field lines in a time interval of $0.040\text{ s}$ , bringing its plane parallel to the magnetic field. What is the magnitude of the average electromotive force (e.m.f.) induced in the coil in volts?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 25

Cevap

The magnitude of the average induced electromotive force in the coil is

25\text{ V}

.

According to Faraday's law, the induced electromotive force magnitude is

E = N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

. The initial flux through each turn is

\Phi_1 = B A = 0.50\text{ T} \times 0.020\text{ m}^2 = 0.010\text{ Wb}

. When rotated parallel to the field, the final flux

\Phi_2

is

0\text{ Wb}

, so

\Delta \Phi = 0.010\text{ Wb}

. Substituting

N = 100

and

\Delta t = 0.040\text{ s}

yields an induced e.m.f. of

100 \times \frac{0.010}{0.040} = 25\text{ V}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the rectangular coil.

A = 0.10\text{ m} \times 0.20\text{ m} = 0.020\text{ m}^2

The surface area is required to find the magnetic flux passing through each turn.

2

Determine the change in magnetic flux through one turn of the coil.

Initial flux

\Phi_1 = B A = 0.50 \times 0.020 = 0.010\text{ Wb}

; Final flux

\Phi_2 = 0\text{ Wb}

; Change

\Delta \Phi = 0.010\text{ Wb}

When perpendicular to the magnetic field, maximum flux links the coil. Rotating it parallel reduces the flux linking the coil to zero.

3

Apply Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to calculate induced e.m.f.

E = N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t} = 100 \times \frac{0.010\text{ Wb}}{0.040\text{ s}} = 25\text{ V}

Faraday's law states that the induced e.m.f. magnitude equals the rate of change of total magnetic flux linkage.

.

The net impedance

Z

in an AC series circuit containing a resistor and an inductor is given by

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

. Substituting

R = 6\ \Omega

and

yields

Z = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\ \Omega

.

In an AC circuit, resistance and inductive reactance add vectorially at a

90^\circ

phase angle.

2

Substitute the given values

R = 6\ \Omega

and

X_L = 8\ \Omega

into the formula

Z = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100}

Squaring each component gives the terms required under the radical.

An electron of mass $9.1 \times 10^{-31}\text{ kg}$ and charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}$ enters perpendicularly into a uniform magnetic field of flux density $2.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ T}$ with a speed of $3.2 \times 10^6\text{ m/s}$ . What is the radius of the circular path followed by the electron, expressed in millimeters (mm)?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9.1

Cevap

The radius of the circular path followed by the electron is 9.1 mm.

When a charge

q

enters a magnetic field

B

perpendicularly at speed

v

, the magnetic force

qvB

supplies the centripetal force

\frac{mv^2}{r}

. Rearranging for radius yields

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

. Substituting

m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31}\text{ kg}

,

v = 3.2 \times 10^6\text{ m/s}

,

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}

, and

B = 2.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ T}

gives

r = 9.1 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m} = 9.1\text{ mm}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Equate the magnetic force to the centripetal force for circular motion

qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}

A charged particle moving perpendicularly to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force that acts entirely as a centripetal force.

2

Rearrange the equation to make the orbital radius

r

the subject

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Cancelling one factor of velocity

v

from both sides allows direct computation of

r

.

3

Substitute the physical values into the formula

r = \frac{(9.1 \times 10^{-31})(3.2 \times 10^6)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(2.0 \times 10^{-3})} = 9.1 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m}

Calculates the radius in standard SI units (meters).

4

Convert the resulting radius from meters to millimeters

r = 9.1 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m} \times 1000\text{ mm/m} = 9.1\text{ mm}

The question explicitly requests the answer in millimeters.

The magnetic force acting on the wire is

0.40\text{ N}

.

Using the formula

F = BIL \sin\theta

, when a current-carrying wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field,

\theta = 90^\circ

and

\sin 90^\circ = 1

. Substituting

B = 0.20\text{ T}

,

I = 4.0\text{ A}

, and

L = 0.50\text{ m}

yields

F = 0.20 \times 4.0 \times 0.50 = 0.40\text{ N}

.

L = 0.50\text{ m}

,

I = 4.0\text{ A}

,

B = 0.20\text{ T}

Applying the formula for force per unit length gives

\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi d} = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7})(5.0)(8.0)}{2\pi (0.20)} = 4.0 \times 10^{-5}\text{ N/m}

. Since the currents flow in opposite directions, the magnetic interaction is repulsive.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify given variables and the formula for force per unit length between parallel conductors.

Given:

I_1 = 5.0\text{ A}

,

I_2 = 8.0\text{ A}

,

d = 0.20\text{ m}

,

\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\text{ T}\cdot\text{m/A}

. Formula:

\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi d}

.

The magnetic force per unit length between two parallel wires depends on the current magnitudes and their distance of separation.

2

Substitute values into the equation and compute the magnitude.

\frac{F}{L} = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7})(5.0)(8.0)}{2\pi (0.20)} = \frac{2 \times 10^{-7} \times 40}{0.20} = 4.0 \times 10^{-5}\text{ N/m}

.

Canceling

4\pi

with

2\pi

yields a multiplier of

2 \times 10^{-7}

, simplifying numerical computation.

3

Determine the direction of force based on current flow direction.

The force is repulsive.

Parallel conductors carrying currents in opposite directions generate magnetic field configurations that force the wires apart.
