The peak output voltage of an AC generator is given by:V = N * A * B * w * sin(wt)where:N is the number of turns in the coilA is the area of each turnB is the magnetic field strengthw is the angular frequency (2 * pi * f)t is the timeIn this problem, we have:N = 283A = 3.0 × 10^-2 m^2B = 0.12 Tf = 50 Hzw = 2 * pi * f = 314 rad/sPlugging these values into the equation, we get:V = 283 * 3.0 × 10^-2 m^2 * 0.12 T * 314 rad/s * sin(314t)The peak output voltage is the maximum value of V, which occurs when sin(314t) = 1. Therefore, the peak output voltage is:V = 283 * 3.0 × 10^-2 m^2 * 0.12 T * 314 rad/s = 120 VTherefore, the correct answer is A) 120 V.

Question 8

The energy stored in an inductor is given by $ E = \frac{1}{2} L I^2 $. Differentiating with respect to time, $ \frac{dE}{dt} = L I \frac{dI}{dt} $. Given $ \frac{dE}{dt} = 3.0 \, \text{J/s} $, $ L = 5.0 \, \text{H} $, and $ I = 3.0 \, \text{A} $, we solve for $ \frac{dI}{dt} $: $ 3.0 = 5.0 \times 3.0 \times \frac{dI}{dt} $, leading to $ \frac{dI}{dt} = 0.20 \, \text{A/s} $.

Question 9

AC generator: You are designing a generator to have a maximum emf of 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030 m², what should be the frequency of the generator in a uniform magnetic field of 0.030 T? A) 7.1 Hz B) 7.5 Hz C) 8.0 Hz D) 22 Hz E) 44 Hz

The max emf induced in the coil is given by:
$E_{max} = NAB\omega$
where N is the number of turns, A is the cross-sectional area of the coil, B is the magnetic field strength, and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

Rearranging, we get:
$\omega = \frac{E_{max}}{NAB}$

Substituting the given values, we get:

Therefore, the answer is A) 7.1 Hz.

B) 650 mA
C) 550 mA
D) 280 mA
E) 850 mA

Accepted Answer

The current in an LR circuit is given by:$$i(t) = \frac{V}{R} (1 - e^{-t/	au})$$where:* V is the voltage of the power supply* R is the resistance of the resistor* L is the inductance of the inductor* $	au$ is the time constant of the circuit, which is equal to L/RIn this problem, we have:* V = 15 V* R = 60 Ω* L = 45 mH = 0.045 H* t = 7.0 ms = 0.007 sSo, the time constant is:$$	au = \frac{L}{R} = \frac{0.045 H}{60 \Omega} = 0.00075 s$$And the current at t = 7.0 ms is:$$i(0.007 s) = \frac{15 V}{60 \Omega} (1 - e^{-0.007 s/0.00075 s}) = 0.25 A = 250 mA$$Therefore, the correct answer is A.

A) 100 A/s
B) 1 A/s
C) 1000 A/s
D) 10,000 A/s
E) 10 A/s

Accepted Answer

The formula for emf induced in an inductor is given by 
emf = - L(dI/dt)
where L is the inductance, I is the current and (dI/dt) is the rate of change of current. 
Rearranging the formula, we get 
(dI/dt) = - emf/L = -1000/0.1 = -10000 A/s
Since the question asks for the magnitude of the rate of change of current, we take the absolute value which is 10000 A/s. So the answer is D.

Question 14

Accepted Answer

The energy density ($u$) in a magnetic field can be calculated using the formula $u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$, where $B$ is the magnetic field strength and $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space ($4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \cdot \text{m/A}$). The magnetic field ($B$) around a long straight wire is given by $B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$, where $I$ is the current and $r$ is the distance from the wire. Substituting $I = 12 \, \text{A}$ and $r = 0.25 \, \text{m}$, and then calculating $u$, results in an energy density of $3.7 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{J/m}^3$, which corresponds to choice B.

Accepted Answer

First, calculate the magnetic field energy density using:
$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$ = $\frac{(5.0 	imes 10^{-5}	ext{ T})^2}{2(4\pi 	imes 10^{-7}	ext{ T} \cdot 	ext{m/A})}$ = $1.57 	imes 10^{-2} 	ext{ J/m}^3$
Then, calculate the volume of the room: 3.0 m $	imes$ 4.0 m $	imes$ 2.4 m = 28.8 m$^3$
Finally, calculate the total energy stored:
$E = uV = (1.57 	imes 10^{-2}	ext{ J/m}^3)(28.8	ext{ m}^3) = 0.450 mJ \approx 29	ext{ mJ}$

Question 18

LR circuits: A series LR circuit consists of a 2.0-H inductor with negligible internal resistance, a 100-ohm resistor, an open switch, and a 9.0-V ideal power source. After the switch is closed, what is the maximum power delivered by the power supply?
A) 0.40 W
B) 81 W
C) 0.090 W
D) 8.1 W
E) 0.81 W

Accepted Answer

The maximum power delivered by the power supply occurs when the circuit reaches its steady state, where the current through the circuit is constant. In a series LR circuit, the current reaches its maximum value (I_max) when the inductor has reached its maximum current (I_Lmax), which occurs when the voltage across the resistor is equal to the voltage across the inductor (V_R = V_L).

We can use Ohm's law to find I_max: 
V = IR + VL 
9.0 V = I(100 Ω) + (2.0 H)(dI/dt)

At the maximum current, dI/dt = 0, so we have: 
I_max = V/R = 9.0 V/100 Ω = 0.090 A

The maximum power delivered by the power supply is given by: 
P_max = V^2/R = (9.0 V)^2/100 Ω = 0.81 W

Therefore, the correct answer is (E) 0.81 W.
