Physics Homework Solutions

Induction

A 25-turn circular coil of wire has diameter 1.00 m. It is placed with its axis along the direction of the Earth's magnetic field of 50.0 μT, and then in 0.200 s it is flipped 180°. An average emf of what magnitude is generated in the coil?

Conducting Rod

A conducting rod of length ℓ moves on two horizontal, frictionless rails, as shown in the attached file 'Figure P31.20'. If a constant force of 1.00 N moves the bar at 2.00 m/s through a magnetic field B that is directed into the page, (a) What is the current through the 8.00-Ω resistor R? (b) What is the rate at ...continues

short answer question

Which of the following concepts applies to both sound waves and electromagnetic waves: (a) intensity? (b) polarization? Account for your answer.

short answer

Why does the peak value of the emf induced in a loop antenna depend on the frequency of the electromagnetic wave, while the peak value of the emf induced in a straight-wire antenna does not?

short answer

You are sitting upright on the beach near a lake on a sunny day, wearing Polaroid sunglasses. When you lie down on your side, facing the lake, the sunglasses don't work as well as they did while you were sitting upright. Why not?

Solenoid

A 40.0-mA current is carried by a uniformly wound air-core solenoid with 450 turns, a 15.0-mm diameter, and 12.0-cm length. Compute (a) the magnetic field inside the solenoid, (b) the magnetic flux through each turn, and (c) the inductance of the solenoid. (d) What If? If the current were different, which of these quantit ...continues

RL/RC Circuits

A series RL circuit with L = 3.00 H and a series RC circuit with C = 3.00 μF have equal time constants. If the two circuits contain the same resistance R, (a)what is the value of R and (b)what is the time constant?

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Classify waves with frequencies of 2 Hz, 2 kHz, 2 MHz, 2 GHz, 2 THz, 2 PHz, 2 EHz, 2 ZHz, and 2 YHz on the electromagnetic spectrum. Classify waves with wavelengths of 2 km, 2 m, 2 mm, 2 μm, 2 nm, 2 pm, 2 fm, and 2 am.
