Rate of change of current with time, galvanometer deflection

[kuruman]

To clarify my previous post, you need a general expression that is valid when the charge and current vary with time.

I = d Q / d t?

 

[kuruman]

Correct. So put together to get a differential equation using the alternate expression for I, Post #41.

 

[cnh1995]

I = d Q / d t?

Right.

 

[moenste]

Correct. So put together to get a differential equation using the alternate expression for I, Post #41.

d Q / d t = (1 / R) (d Φ / d t)

d (B A N / R) / d t = (1 / R) (d B A N / d t)
d (μ₀ N I A N / R) / d t = (1 / R) (d μ₀ N I A N / d t).

 

[kuruman]

Multiply both sides of the first equation by dt and integrate. What do you get?

 

[moenste]

Multiply both sides of the first equation by dt and integrate. What do you get?

d Q = (d t / R) d Φ
Q = t Φ / R?

 

[kuruman]

No. You have an extra dt on the right that doesn't belong.

 

[cnh1995]

d Q = (d t / R) d Φ
Q = t Φ / R?

Time term should not show up in the equation. That's why you were asked to multiply both the sides by dt. That will eliminate the time variable.

Q = Φ / R = B A N / R?

 

[kuruman]

Bingo. Calculate the right side with numbers and you are done.

B = μ₀ n I = 4 π * 10^-7 * 1000 * 4 = 5 * 10^-3 T.
Q = 2000 * (8 * 10^-4) * (5 * 10^-3) / 60 = 1.33 * 10^-4 C

 

[cnh1995]

Q = Φ / R = B A N / R?

Right.

 

[cnh1995]

B = μ₀ n I = 4 π * 10^-7 * 1000 * 4 = 5 * 10^-3 T.
Q = 2000 * (8 * 10^-4) * (5 * 10^-3) / 60 = 1.33 * 10^-4 C

That should be 1.34*10^-4..
Use sensitivity of the galvanometer to find the number of divisions.

θ = a Q = 2 * 1.34 * 10^-4 = 2.68 * 10^-4.

 

[cnh1995]

θ = a Q = 2 * 1.34 * 10^-4 = 2.68 * 10^-4.

Well, 1.34*10^-4 is the actual charge passed through the galvanometer. You have sensitivity as 2 divisions/ microcoulomb. How would you calculate the no of divisions from this?

θ = a Q = deflections of the galvanometer.

Update
1.34 * 10^-4 C → 1.34 * 10^-4 / 10^-6 = 134 μC.

134 * 2 = 268. I think this should be right.

Right.
