Chapter 30, Problem 17P
You are working for a company that manufactures motors and generators. At the end of your first day of work, your supervisor explains to you that you will be assigned to a team that is designing a new homopolar generator. You have no idea what that is, but agree wholeheartedly to the assignment. At home that evening, you go online to learn about the homopolar generator and find the following. The homopolar generator, also called the Faraday disk, is a low-voltage, high-current electric generator. It consists of a rotating

You are on a development team investigating a new design for computer magnetic disk drives. You have been asked to determine if the standard disk drive motor will be sufficient for the test version of the new disk. To do this you decide to calculate how much energy is needed to get the 6.4 cm diameter, 15 gram disk to its operating speed of 350 revolutions per second. The test disk also has 4 different sensors attached to its surface. These small sensors are arranged at the corners of a square with sides of 1.2 cm. To assure stability, the center of mass of the sensor array is in the same position as the center of mass of the disk. The disk’s axis of rotation also goes through the center of mass. You know that the sensors have masses of 1.0 grams, 1.5 grams, 2.0 grams, and 3.0 grams. The moment of inertia of your disk is one-half that of a ring.
Part (a) To what angle, in degrees from the positive x-axis, should the normal of the loop be rotated so that the flux through the loop becomes 0.419N⋅m^2/C?
a. A student asserted that if a permanent magnet is dropped down a vertical copper pipe, it eventually
reaches a terminal velocity even if there is no air resistance. Why should this be? Or should it? Explain your
answer.
