In this problem, you will design a shake flashlight that can power a standard 1W, 3V flashlight bulb. In a shake flashlight, a coil of wire and magnet are inside a plastic tube that can be shaken, causing the magnet to move back and forth through the coil. Assume the magnet has a maximum field strength of 0.05 T. Making additional reasonable assumptions as needed, specify the dimensions and number of turns of the coil of wire in your flashlight
The number of turns in the coil can be determine from induced emf.

- Rail gun weapons are not only popular in video games, they are actually being developed by the Navy for practical use. The figure below shows a simple model of how a rail gun works. The entirety of the rail gun is immersed in a magnetic field of strength B = 1.09 Tesla. With the switch open, the capacitor on the left is charged to a very high voltage V0 = 9400 Volts. When the switch is closed current will flow through the bar and thereby exert a magnetic force on the bar pushing it to the right. The bar has a mass M = 1.95 kg, a resistance R = 0.200 Ω, and a length L = 0.230 meters. We shall assume that the rails have zero resistance, and that the bar slides without friction. The bar exits the rail gun after having accelerated over a distance of d = 3.21 meters.Calculate the current flowing through the bar when the switch is closed I = AmpsCalculate the force on the bar due to the magnetic field F = NewtonsCalculate the acceleration of the bar a = m/s2Assuming the bar experiences…arrow_forwardSuppose you wish to produce a 1-T magnetic field in a toroid with an iron core for which magnetic susceptibility is x = 3 x 10³.

He happens to have a powerful (and heavy!) horseshoe magnet that he bought at a surplus store. This magnet creates B = 0.30 T field between two pole tips 10 cm apart. His idea is to build a hand- cranked generator shown in Figure. He thinks you can make enough current to fully light a R = 1.0 N lightbulb rated at 4.0W. That's not super bright, but it should be plenty of light for routine activities in the tent.
