Calculating the mass in a solenoid system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the mass required to prevent a smaller coil from rotating within a larger solenoid system. Given the parameters of both coils, the derived formula for the mass is m = (2*I(1)*π*r²*N(1)*μ(0)*I*N)/(g*L*L(1)), resulting in a mass of approximately 2.2 kg. The participants also inquire about the behavior of the smaller coil if no mass is attached, implying it would rotate freely due to the magnetic forces at play. The direction of the electric currents in both coils is also a point of interest, though not explicitly detailed in the calculations. Overall, the calculations and implications of the system's dynamics are the primary focus of the discussion.

Homework Statement



Through the bigger coil with N = 10,000 turns of wire and length of L = 30 cm is flowing electric current of I = 5 A. Inside the big coil we insert a smaller coil with
N(1) = 500 turns, length of L(1) = 3 cm, and a radius r = 1 cm. The electric current flowing through the small coil is I(1) = 1 A. Axis of both coils are perpendicular to one another, smaller coil is rotatable around a rectangular axis (picture!). On the edge we attach a light string with the weight. What has to be the mass of the weight so that the small coil will not turn? In which direction do the electric currents I and I1 run?

Homework Equations



B= (μ(0)*I*N)/ L
M= p(m)*B
r(m)= I*S*N

The Attempt at a Solution



First part: What has to be the mass of the weight so that the small coil will not turn?

M= p(m)* [((μ(0)*I*N)/ L]

M= (I(1)*π*r²*N(1)* μ(0)*I*N)/ L
M(g)= m*(L(1)/2)*g

M= M(g)
(I(1)*π*r²*N(1)* μ(0)*I*N)/ L= m*(L(1)/2)*g
m= (2*I(1)*π*r²*N(1)* μ(0)*I*N)/ (g*L*L(1))
m= 2.2 kg

Are my calculations correct?[/color]

Thank you for helping!

If there is no mass attached to the smaller coil, what will happen to the coil?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
