Question

right to leftleft to right      A solenoid 2.5 m long and 30 cm in diameter consists of 4500 turns of wire. A 5 turn coil with negligible resistance is wrapped around the solenoid and connected to a 180 A solenoid 2.5 m long and 30 cm in diame resistor, as shown in Fig. 31-47. The direction of the current in the solenoid is such that the solenoid's magnetic field points to the right. At time t = 0 the solenoid current begins to decay exponentially, being given by I = I0e-t/?, where I0 = 85 A, ? =2.5 s, and t is the time in seconds. A solenoid 2.5 m long and 30 cm in diame Figure 31-47. (a) What is the direction of the current in the resistor as the solenoid current decays? right to leftleft to right (b) What is the value of the resistor current at t = 1.0 s in A? A (c) What is the value of the resistor current at t = 5.0 s in A?

Explanation / Answer

a) left to right   

b)
let N1 = 5 turns

N2 = 4500 turns

d = 0.3 m ==> r = d/2 = 0.15 m

A = pi*r^2

= 3.14*0.15^2

= 0.07065 m^2

L = 2.5m


induced emf = N1*A*dB/dt

we know, B = mue*N2*I/L

= mue*N2*Io*e^(-t/T)/L


dB/dt = mue*N2*Io*e^(-t/T)/(L*T)


induced emf = N1*A*mue*N2*Io*e^(-t/T)/(L*T)

at t = 1s

induced emf = 5*0.07065*4*pi*10^-7*4500*85*e^(-1/2.5)/(2.5*2.5)


= 1.82*10^-2 volts

i = emf/R

= 1.82*10^-2/180

= 101.1 micro A <<<<<<<<<<<-------Answer

c) at t = 5s

induced emf = 5*0.07065*4*pi*10^-7*4500*85*e^(-5/2.5)/(2.5*2.5)


= 3.676*10^-3 volts

i = emf/R

= 3.676*10^-3/180

= 20.42 micro A <<<<<<<<<<<-------Answer
