Why is soft iron used for the core of an electromagnet?

Answer:

Because of the high permeability and high saturation level of holding magnetism.

Explanation:

Soft iron always used in the core of an electromagnet because of the following reason which are discussed below.

Permeability: These magnets are highly permeable means they can gain magnetism when current is passes through them and instantly loose magnetism after removal of current.
High saturation level: The property of these soft magnets are they have the high value of saturation means they can hold high level of magnetism without easily saturating.

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: $\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force $F$ is proportional to the mass $Fm$ and acceleration $a$ :

$F=m.a$ (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

$F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (2)

Where:

$V$ is the velocity

$r$ is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

$m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Hence:

$a=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

A solenoidal coil with 26 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 350 turns. The inner solenoid is 20.0 cm long

noname [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Magnetic field due to a long ideal solenoid is given by

$B = \mu_0 n i$

n = number of turns per unit length

$n = \frac{N}{L}$

$n = \frac{350}{0.20}$

$n = 1750 turn/m$

now we know that magnetic field due to solenoid is

$B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1750)(0.100)$

$B = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} T$

Now magnetic flux due to this magnetic field is given by

$\phi = B.A$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi r^2)$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi(0.02)^2)$

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

Now for mutual inductance we know that

$\phi_{total} = M i$

$\phi_{total} = N\phi$

$\phi_{total} = 20(2.76 \times 10^{-4})$

$\phi_{total} = 5.52 \times 10^{-6}$

now we have

$M = \frac{5.52 \times 10^{-6}}{0.100}$

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

As we know that induced EMF is given as

$EMF = M \frac{di}{dt}$

$EMF = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} (1800)$

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$
