Q: Refer to Prob. 7.11 (and use the result

Refer to Prob. 7.11 (and use the result of Prob. 5.42): How long does is take a falling circular ring (radius a, mass m, resistance R) to cross the bottom of the magnetic field B, at its (changing) ter...

Q: A battery of emf ε and internal resistance r is hooked up

A battery of emf ε and internal resistance r is hooked up to a variable “load” resistance, R. If you want to deliver the maximum possible power to the load, what resistance R should you choose? (You c...

Q: Electrons undergoing cyclotron motion can be sped up by increasing the magnetic

Electrons undergoing cyclotron motion can be sped up by increasing the magnetic field; the accompanying electric field will impart tangential acceleration. This is the principle of the betatron. One w...

Q: An infinite wire carrying a constant current / direction

An infinite wire carrying a constant current / direction is moving in the y direction at a constant speed v. Find the electric field, in the quasistatic approximation, at the instant the wire coincid...

Q: An atomic electron (charge q) circles about the nucleus (

An atomic electron (charge q) circles about the nucleus (charge Q) in an orbit of radius r ; the centripetal acceleration is provided, of course, by the Coulomb attraction of opposite charges. Now a s...

Q: The current in a long solenoid is increasing linearly with time,

The current in a long solenoid is increasing linearly with time, so the flux is proportional to t : Ф =αt . Two voltmeters are connected to diametrically oppos...

Q: In the discussion of motional emf (Sect. 7.1

In the discussion of motional emf (Sect. 7.1.3) I assumed that the wire loop (Fig. 7.10) has a resistance R; the current generated is then I= v Bh/R. But what if the wire is made out of perfectly cond...
