A 15-turn circular wire loop with a radius of 3.0 cm is initially in a uniform magnetic field with a strength of 0.5 T. The fiel

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition given in Faraday's law in a solenoid for which it is noted that

\epsilon = - d\frac{\phi_B}{dt}

\epsilon = -NA\frac{dB}{dt}

Where,

N = Number of loops

A = Cross sectional Area

B = Magnetic Field

\epsilon = (15)(\pi(0.03)^2)\frac{0-0.5}{0.1}

\epsilon = 0.212V

\epsilon = 0.21V

Therefore the correct answer is A.

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA
