How Do Moving Conductors and Coils Interact with Magnetic Fields?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on three physics problems related to the interaction of moving conductors and coils with magnetic fields. The first problem involves calculating the force on a moving-coil loudspeaker's coil in a magnetic field, given specific parameters. The second question addresses the behavior of a straight conductor moving through a magnetic field, noting that an ammeter connected to the conductor will show deflection when the conductor moves perpendicularly to the field. The third problem requires applying Faraday's Law to determine the electromotive force (e.m.f) in a rotating copper disc within the Earth's magnetic field. Participants are encouraged to attempt solutions and seek advice on their calculations.

Homework Statement



1) The coil of a moving-coil loudspeaker has a mean diameter of 30mm and is wound with 800 turns.It is situated in a radial magnetic field of 0.5T. Calculate the force on the coil, in Newtons, when the current is 12mA.

2)Explain what happens when a long straight conductor is moved through a uniform magnetic dirld at constant velocity.Assume that the conductor moves perpendicularly to the field.If the ends of the conductor are connected together through an ammeter, what will happen?

3)A copper disc,250mm in diameter, is rotated at and prependicular to its plane. If the axis points magnetic north and south, calculate the e.m.f between the circumference of the disc and the axis. Assume the horizontal component of the Earth's field to be 18uT.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i don't know how to calculate the above questions.but i try to solve Q2 as the follow,please give me some advice and solution,thanks

Q2 ans. A deflection was obtained on ammeter,when the direction of moving of conductor was reversed,ammeter was also deflected in the reversed direction.

The first question you have a solenoid, have you learned what to do with these?

The second you are right.

The third question requires Faraday's Law.

Try it out.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
