9.A: Electromagnetic Induction (Answers)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Check Your Understanding

13.1. 1.1 T/s

13.2. To the observer shown, the current flows clockwise as the magnet approaches, decreases to zero when the magnet is centered in the plane of the coil, and then flows counterclockwise as the magnet leaves the coil.

Figure shows a magnet that is moving into and through the loop with the South pole facing the loop. Position (a) corresponds to magnet approaching the loop; position (b) corresponds to the magnet directly into the loop. Position (c) corresponds to the magnet moving away from the loop.

13.4. ε=Bl2ω/2, with O at a higher potential than S

13.5. 1.5 V

13.6. a. yes;

b. Yes; however there is a lack of symmetry between the electric field and coil, making Edl a more complicated relationship that can’t be simplified as shown in the example.

13.7. 3.4×103V/m

13.8. P1,P)2,P4

13.9. a. 3.1×106V;

b. 2.0×107V/m

Conceptual Questions

1. The emf depends on the rate of change of the magnetic field.

3. Both have the same induced electric fields; however, the copper ring has a much higher induced emf because it conducts electricity better than the wooden ring.

5. a. no; b. yes

7. As long as the magnetic flux is changing from positive to negative or negative to positive, there could be an induced emf.

9. Position the loop so that the field lines run perpendicular to the area vector or parallel to the surface.

11. a. CW as viewed from the circuit; b. CCW as viewed from the circuit

13. As the loop enters, the induced emf creates a CCW current while as the loop leaves the induced emf creates a CW current. While the loop is fully inside the magnetic field, there is no flux change and therefore no induced current.

15. a. CCW viewed from the magnet;

b. CW viewed from the magnet;

c. CW viewed from the magnet;

d. CCW viewed from the magnet;

e. CW viewed from the magnet;

f. no current

17. Positive charges on the wings would be to the west, or to the left of the pilot while negative charges would be pulled east or to the right of the pilot. Thus, the left hand tips of the wings would be positive and the right hand tips would be negative.

19. The work is greater than the kinetic energy because it takes energy to counteract the induced emf.

21. The conducting sheet is shielded from the changing magnetic fields by creating an induced emf. This induced emf creates an induced magnetic field that opposes any changes in magnetic fields from the field underneath. Therefore, there is no net magnetic field in the region above this sheet. If the field were due to a static magnetic field, no induced emf will be created since you need a changing magnetic flux to induce an emf. Therefore, this static magnetic field will not be shielded.

23. a. zero induced current, zero force; b. clockwise induced current, force is to the left; c. zero induced current, zero force; d. counterclockwise induced current, force is to the left; e. zero induced current, zero force.

ε=π(0.100m)2(3.0T/s)=94mV(5.0ms<t<6.0ms).

Figure shows the Emf in mV plotted as a function of time in ms. Emf is equal to -47 mV when the time is equal to zero. It increases in a step fashion to 0 when the time reaches 2 ms. Emf remains the same till 5 ms and then increases in a step fashion to 94 mV. It stays constant till time reaches 6 ms.
