A 10.0 cm long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire and rail is 0.330 ohms . Pulling the wire at a steady speed of 4.00 m/s causes 4.40 W of power to be dissipated in the circuit.a) How big is the pulling force?b) What is the strength of the magnetic field?

Respuesta :

Answer

given,

length of wire = 10 cm = 0.1 m

resistance of the wire =  0.330 ohms

speed of pulling = 4 m/s

Power = 4.40 W

a) Force of pull = ?

 [tex]P = F_{pull} v[/tex]

 [tex]F_{pull} =\dfrac{P}{v}[/tex]

 [tex]F_{pull} =\dfrac{4.40}{4}[/tex]

 [tex]F_{pull} =1.1\ N[/tex]

b) using formula

  [tex]P = \dfrac{B^2l^2v^2}{R}[/tex]

  where B is the magnetic field

   v is the pulling velocity

   R is the resistance of the wire

  [tex]B =\sqrt{\dfrac{PR}{l^2v^2}}[/tex]

  [tex]B =\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{pull} \times v R}{l^2v^2}}[/tex]

  [tex]B =\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{pull} \times R}{l^2v}}[/tex]

  [tex]B =\sqrt{\dfrac{1.1 \times 0.33}{0.1^2\times 4}}[/tex]

  [tex]B =\sqrt{9.075}[/tex]

      B = 3.01 T

The pulling force in this magnetic field is equal to 1.1 Newton.

Given the following data:

  • Length of wire = 10.0 cm.
  • Total resistance = 0.330 Ohms.
  • Speed = 4.00 m/s.
  • Power = 4.40 Watts.

How to calculate the pulling force.

Mathematically, the pulling force in a magnetic field is given by this formula:

[tex]F = \frac{Power}{Speed} \\\\F=\frac{4.40}{4.00}[/tex]

F = 1.1 Newton.

To determine the strength of the magnetic field, we would apply this formula:

[tex]B=\sqrt{\frac{PR}{L^2V^2} }\\\\B=\sqrt{\frac{FVR}{L^2V^2} }\\\\B=\sqrt{\frac{FR}{L^2V} }[/tex]

Where:

  • B is the magnetic field.
  • P is the power.
  • V is the velocity.
  • L is the length.
  • R is the resistance.
  • F is the pulling force.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]B=\sqrt{\frac{1.1 \times 0.330}{0.1^2 \times 4.00} } \\\\B=\sqrt{\frac{0.363}{0.01 \times 4.00} }\\\\B=\sqrt{9.075}[/tex]

B = 3.012 T.
