(c) \( Bi\ell=mg\tan\theta \)
(d) \( Bi\ell=mg \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( Bi\ell=mg\tan\theta \)
Explanation:
1. The magnetic force \( Bi\ell \) is horizontal (field vertical, wire horizontal).
2. Components along the incline: \( Bi\ell\cos\theta=mg\sin\theta \).
3. Hence \( Bi\ell=mg\tan\theta \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Resolve forces along the incline, since the rails are smooth.
2. A vertical field gives a horizontal force.
(a) (1), (2) and (4)
(b) (1) and (3) only
(c) (2), (3) and (4)
(d) (2) and (4) only
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) (2) and (4) only
Explanation:
1. Just after closing the capacitor is uncharged, and the inductor carries no current, so (1) and (3) are false.
2. After a long time the capacitor is fully charged to \( E \) so \( q=EC \), and the inductor behaves as a plain wire with \( i=E/R \); (2) and (4) are true.
Teacher's Note:
1. Capacitor: initially a short, finally an open circuit.
2. Inductor: initially open, finally a short.
(a) (1), (3) and (4) only
(b) (1) and (4) only
(c) (2), (3) and (4) only
(d) (1) and (3) only
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) (1), (3) and (4) only
Explanation:
1. Power \( P=Li\dfrac{di}{dt} \) is equal, so \( L_1I_1=L_2I_2 \) and \( I_1/I_2=L_2/L_1=1/4 \): (1) true, (2) false.
2. Voltage \( V=L\dfrac{di}{dt} \): \( V_2/V_1=L_2/L_1=1/4 \): (4) true.
3. Energy \( W=\tfrac12LI^2 \): \( \dfrac{W_2}{W_1}=\dfrac{2\times16}{8\times1}=4 \): (3) true.
Teacher's Note:
1. Same di/dt for both coils.
2. Use P = L i di/dt, V = L di/dt and W = ½Li².
(a) 20 rad/s
(b) 40 rad/s
(c) 80 rad/s
(d) 10 rad/s
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) 40 rad/s
Explanation:
1. Induced electric field at the ring: \( E=\dfrac R2\dfrac{dB}{dt}=\dfrac22\times0.2=0.2 \) V/m.
2. Tangential force on the total charge \( F=qE=0.4 \) N, so \( a=F/m=0.4/0.05=8 \) m/s².
3. Speed \( v=at=80 \) m/s, so \( \omega=v/R=80/2=40 \) rad/s.
Teacher's Note:
1. Changing flux drives a tangential electric field around the ring.
2. Angular speed is v/R.
(a) \( 1.25\times10^{-5} \) V
(b) \( 7.5\times10^{-6} \) V
(c) zero
(d) \( 1\times10^{-5} \) V
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( 1\times10^{-5} \) V
Explanation:
1. Vertical component \( B_V=B_H\tan\delta=3\times10^{-4}\times\tfrac43=4\times10^{-4} \) T.
2. Only the vertical component gives an emf along a north-south rod moving east: \( \varepsilon=B_Vv\ell=4\times10^{-4}\times0.1\times0.25=1\times10^{-5} \) V.
Teacher's Note:
1. Use the vertical component of the earth's field.
2. Check that v, B and the rod are mutually perpendicular.
(a) \( \dfrac{B^2L^2}{mgR} \)
(b) \( \dfrac{mgR}{B^2L^2} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{mgR}{BL} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{mg}{B^2L^2R} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \dfrac{mgR}{B^2L^2} \)
Explanation:
1. At terminal velocity the tension \( mg \) balances the magnetic force \( BiL=\dfrac{B^2L^2v}{R} \).
2. So \( v_T=\dfrac{mgR}{B^2L^2} \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The rod is massless, so the tension equals the magnetic force at all times.
2. Terminal velocity: zero acceleration.
(a) g
(b) g/4
(c) zero
(d) \( g/2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( g/2 \)
Explanation:
1. The rod is massless, so the string tension equals the magnetic force \( \dfrac{B^2L^2v}{R} \), which at \( v_T/2 \) equals \( mg/2 \).
2. For the hanging mass: \( mg-\dfrac{mg}2=ma \), so \( a=g/2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Magnetic force is proportional to speed.
2. At half terminal speed it is half the weight.
(a) \( \dfrac{mg}{B^2\ell^2R} \)
(b) \( \dfrac{mgR}{B^2\ell^2} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{mgR}{B\ell} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{B^2\ell^2}{mgR} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \dfrac{mgR}{B^2\ell^2} \)
Explanation:
1. At terminal speed \( mg=B i\ell=\dfrac{B^2\ell^2v}{R} \).
2. So \( v=\dfrac{mgR}{B^2\ell^2} \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Weight balances the magnetic force.
2. Current \( i=B\ell v/R \).
(a) \( e^2 \)
(b) \( \dfrac{e^2+1}{e^2} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{e}{e-1} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{e^2}{e^2-1} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( \dfrac{e^2}{e^2-1} \)
Explanation:
1. Time constant \( \tau=L/R=0.5 \) s; \( i=i_0(1-e^{-t/\tau}) \).
2. At 1 s: \( i=i_0(1-e^{-2}) \).
3. Ratio \( \dfrac{i_\infty}{i_1}=\dfrac{1}{1-e^{-2}}=\dfrac{e^2}{e^2-1}\approx1.16 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The final current is E/R.
2. Use the growth law for an LR circuit.
(a) 200 m
(b) 50 m
(c) 100 m
(d) 10 m
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) 100 m
Explanation:
1. For a wire of length \( \ell_w \): \( N\cdot2\pi r=\ell_w \), \( L=\dfrac{\mu_0N^2\pi r^2}{l_0}=\dfrac{\mu_0\ell_w^2}{4\pi l_0} \).
2. So \( \ell_w=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi l_0L}{\mu_0}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi\times1\times10^{-3}}{4\pi\times10^{-7}}}=100 \) m.
Teacher's Note:
1. The radius cancels out of the final formula.
2. Express N and r through the wire length.
(a) 28 Wb
(b) 170 Wb
(c) 43 Wb
(d) 85 Wb
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) 85 Wb
Explanation:
1. The bar is a distance \( x=vt=15.6 \) m from the vertex along the bisector. With a 90° angle the half-angle is 45°, so the base is \( 2x \) and the area is \( x^2 \).
2. Flux \( \phi=Bx^2=0.35\times15.6^2\approx85 \) Wb.
Teacher's Note:
1. The area of a right isosceles triangle with height x is x².
2. Use x = vt.
(a) 28 V
(b) 85 V
(c) 114 V
(d) 57 V

2. The emf increases linearly with time.
Teacher's Note:
1. Differentiate the flux as a function of time.
2. Compare with \( \varepsilon=B(2x)v \).
(a) \( \dfrac12B\omega r \)

(d) \( B\omega r \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \dfrac12B\omega r^2 \)
Explanation:
1. Each element of the rod at distance \( x \) has speed \( \omega x \).
2. Emf \( =\int_0^rB\omega x\,dx=\dfrac12B\omega r^2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The rod behaves like a source with emf ½Bωr².
2. Integrate along the rod.
