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.

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.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
