A technician wearing a brass bracelet enclosing area 0.00500 m2 places her hand in a solenoid whose magnetic field is 2.70 T directed perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. The electrical resistance around the circumference of the bracelet is 0.0200 . An unexpected power failure causes the field to drop to 0.81 T in a time of 19.0 ms. (a) Find the current induced in the bracelet. A (b) Find the power (????) delivered to the bracelet. (Note: As this problem implies, you should not wear any metal objects when working in regions of strong magnetic fields.) W

Respuesta :

(a) 25 A

The induced emf in the circuit is given by

[tex]\epsilon = -\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}[/tex]

where

[tex]\Delta Phi[/tex] is the variation of magnetic flux through the bracelet

[tex]\Delta t = 19.0 ms =0.019 s[/tex] is the time interval

The variation of magnetic flux is

[tex]\Delta \Phi = A \Delta B[/tex]

where

[tex]A=0.005 m^2[/tex] is the area enclosed by the bracelet

[tex]\Delta B=0.81 T-2.70 T=-1.89 T[/tex] is the change of magnetic field strength

So we find

[tex]\Delta \Phi = (0.005 m^2)(-1.89 T)=-9.45\cdot 10^{-3} Wb[/tex]

And so the induced emf is

[tex]\epsilon = -\frac{-9.45\cdot 10^{-3} Wb}{0.019 s}=0.50 V[/tex]

Since the resistance of the bracelet is

[tex]R=0.02\Omega[/tex]

the induced current is

[tex]I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{0.50 V}{0.02 \Omega}=25 A[/tex]

(b) 12.5 W

The power delivered to the bracelet is given by

[tex]P=V I[/tex]

where we have

I = 25 A is the current

V = 0.50 V is the emf induced in the bracelet

Substituting numbers, we find

[tex]P=(0.50 V)(25 A)=12.5 W[/tex]
