A Differentiating Circuit. The current in a resistanceless inductor is caused to vary with time as shown in the graph of Fig. Q30.10. (a) Sketch the pattern that would be observed on the screen of an oscilloscope connected to the terminals of the inductor. (The oscilloscope spot sweeps horizontally across the screen at a constant speed, and its vertical deflection is proportional to the potential difference between the inductor terminals.) (b) Explain why a circuit with an inductor can be described as a “differentiating circuit.”

- When a wire carries an AC current with a known frequency, you can use a Rogowski coil to determine the amplitude Imax of the current without disconnecting the wire to shunt the current through a meter. The Rogowski coil, shown in Figure P23.8, simply clips around the wire. It consists of a toroidal conductor wrapped around a circular return cord. Let n represent the number of turns in the toroid per unit distance along it. Let A represent the cross-sectional area of the toroid. Let I(t) = Imax sin t represent the current to be measured. (a) Show that the amplitude of the emf induced in the Rogowski coil is Emax=0nAImax. (b) Explain why the wire carrying the unknown current need not be at the center of the Rogowski coil and why the coil will not respond to nearby currents that it does not enclose. Figure P23.8arrow_forwardEach of the three situations in Figure P32.68 shows a resistor in a circuit in which currents are induced. Using Lenzs law, determine whether the current in each situation is from a to b or from b to a. a. If the current I in the wire in Figure P32.68A is increased from zero to I, what is the direction of the current induced across the resistor R? b. The switch in Figure P32.68B is initially closed and is thrown open at t = 0. What is the direction of the current induced across the resistor R immediately afterward? c. A bar magnet is brought close to the circuit shown in Figure P32.68C. What is the direction of the current induced across the resistor R?arrow_forwardA coil with a self-inductance of 3.0 H and a resistance of 100 2 carries a steady current of 2.0 A. (a) What is the energy stored in the magnetic field of the coil? (b) What is the energy per second dissipated in the resistance of the coil?arrow_forward
- Figure CQ20.7 shows a slidewire generator with motional cmf 0 when the wire at A slides across the top and bottom rails at constant velocity v0. (a) When the wire reaches B so that the area enclosed by the circuit is doubled, determine the ratio of the new cmf to the original cmf, /0. (b) If the wire's speed is doubled so that v = 2v0 determine the ratio /0. Figure CQ20.7arrow_forwardIn Figure 33.9A (page 1052), the switch is closed at a at t = 0. Find an expression for the power dissipated by the resistor as a function of time, and sketch your result. Is the power lost greater as soon as the switch is closed or a long time after it has been closed? Does your answer make sense?arrow_forward
