Find Period of rotation of the copper ring in a Magnetic Field

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the new period of rotation (T') for a copper ring in a horizontal uniform magnetic field (B). The formula derived is T' = T / √(1 + (B² r⁴ T²) / (4LJ)), where L is the self-inductance, J is the moment of inertia, r is the radius, and T is the original period. The participants explore the relationship between magnetic flux, current, and angular momentum, emphasizing the absence of electrical resistance in the ring.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rotational dynamics and moment of inertia (J)
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic concepts, specifically magnetic flux and self-inductance (L)
  • Knowledge of angular momentum in the context of rotating systems
  • Basic proficiency in algebraic manipulation of equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the magnetic flux equation in electromagnetic theory
  • Learn about the effects of magnetic fields on rotating conductive materials
  • Explore the principles of angular momentum conservation in electromagnetic systems
  • Investigate the implications of resistance in circuits and its absence in this scenario
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, particularly those focusing on electromagnetism and rotational dynamics, as well as engineers working with electromagnetic systems and applications involving conductive materials in magnetic fields.

Homework Statement



A Copper Ring with Radius [itex]r[/itex] and mass [itex]m[/itex] hangs by a thread and rotates with a period [itex]T[/itex]. Ring's coefficient of self inductance is [itex]L[/itex] . What would be a new rotation period of ring, if it was in a horisontal uniform magnetic [itex]B[/itex] field, which is parallel to Ring's plane on a picture? Ring's moment of inertia(axis goes through the centre of mass of Ring) is [itex]J[/itex]. Ring has no electrical resistance.

2. Answer:

[itex]T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{B^2 r^4 T^2}{4LJ}}}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution



Ring has no resistance, then magnetic flux is:

[itex]\Phi = LI + \vec{B}\vec{S} = const[/itex]

initial conditions:

[itex]\vec{B}\vec{S} = 0 ; I = 0[/itex]

[itex]LI = - BScos \angle(B,S) \rightarrow I = -\frac{BScos \angle(B,S)}{L}[/itex]

And after this stage I have big troubles :(
I think, I have to use the Magnetic and angular moments but I don't know how :(

The only one idea I have is following:
[itex]p_m - <p_{el}> = <p_m'>[/itex]
[itex]Jw - IS = Jw'[/itex]
[itex]\frac{J2\pi}{T} + \frac{BS^2<cos \angle(B,S)>}{L} = \frac{J2\pi}{T'}[/itex]
[itex]<cos \angle(B,S)> = 0[/itex]

ofc, It's the wrong solution :)
help me, please
