Question
When you swipe a credit card, the machine sometimes fails
to read the card. What can you do differently?
(a) Swipe the card more slowly so that the reader has more
time to read the magnetic stripe.
(b) Swipe the card more quickly so that the induced emf is
higher.
(c) Swipe the card more quickly so that the induced currents
are reduced.
(d) Swipe the card more slowly so that the magnetic fields
don’t change so fast.

- (a) A lightning bolt produces a rapidly varying magnetic field. If the bolt strikes the earth vertically and acts like a current in a long straight wire, it will induce a voltage in a loop aligned like that in 23.57(b). What voltage is induced in a 1.00 m diameter loop 50.0 m from a 2.00×106 A lightning strike,if the current falls to zero in 25.0 μs ? (b) Discuss circumstances under which such a voltage would producenoticeable consequences.arrow_forwardSuppose you’re on your way to Europe on a plane with a wingspan of 73m at a speed of 950km/h. If the vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is 5µT what is the induced electric potential between the wing tips?arrow_forwardA bar is moved along conducting rails at a constant 2.0 m/s in the presence of a 1-tesla magnetic field into the page, as shown. A 4-ohm resistor is connected into the circuit. a) What current flows in the loop? b) What force is required to maintain the constant 2 mis velocity? c) How much work must be done by this force in 1 second? d) Calculate the power dissipated by the resistor and compare the energy dissipated by the resistor with the work done in this same time.arrow_forward

What is the planes total displacement?arrow_forwardAn MRI technician moves his hand from a region of very low magnetic field strength into an MRI scanner’s 2.3 T field with his fingers pointing in the direction of the field. (a) Find the average emf induced in his wedding ring, given its diameter is 2 cm and assuming it takes 0.29 s to move it into the field.arrow_forwardA copper ring and a gold ring of the same dimensions are placed in magnetic fields so that there is the same change in magnetic flux through them. Compare the induced electric fields and currents in the rings.arrow_forward
- The earth’s magnetic field points toward(magnetic) north. For simplicity, assume that the field has no vertical component (as is the case nearthe earth’s equator). How should you hold it to get zero emf as you walk toward the east? (i) East-west; (ii) north-south; (iii) up-down; (iv) none of these.arrow_forwardA 2 meter-long bar is being moved to the right at a constant speed. The bar is sliding on aframe that includes a resistor with R = 3.25 Ω. There is also a uniform 5.75-T magneticfield, directed into the page. At what speed should the bar be moved to produce a currentof 0.800 A in the resistorarrow_forwardAn airplane flies level to the ground towardthe north pole. (a) Is the induced emf from wing tip to wing tipwhen the plane is at the equator greater than, less than, or equalto the wing-tip-to-wing-tip emf when it is at the latitude of NewYork? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:I. The induced emf is the same because the strength of theEarth’s magnetic field is the same at the equator and at NewYork.II. The induced emf is greater at New York because the verticalcomponent of the Earth’s magnetic field is greater there thanat the equator.III. The induced emf is less at New York because at the equator theplane is flying parallel to the magnetic field linesarrow_forward
