Multiple-choice questions may continue on the next column or page nd all choices before answering. 001 10.0 points A slinky toy spring has a radius of 5 cm and an inductance of 255 H when extended to a length of 2.1 m. How many turns are in the spring? Correct answer: 232.932 turns. Explanation: From Faradays Law E = N d dI = L dt dt

|E| = L

dI dt 0.0436 V |E| = = 0.00311429 H . L= dI 14 A/s dt

At the instant where the current is 4.07 A , the ux through each turn is = LI N (0.00311429 H) (4.07 A) = 347

Let :

r = 5 cm = 0.05 m , L = 255 H = 0.000255 H , = 2.1 m . 0 N 2 A , we nd

and

= 3.65278 105 Wb . 003 10.0 points A certain circuit consists of an inductor of 55 mH in series with a resistor of 190 . At one moment, the current in the circuit is 21 A, and decreasing. How long will it take for the current to fall to 4.62 A? Correct answer: 0.0004383 s. Explanation:

From L =

N= =

L 0 A (0.000255 H)(2.1 m) (1.25664 106 n/A2 ) (0.05 m)2

= 232.932 turns .

002 10.0 points An emf of 43.6 mV is induced in a 347-turn coil when the current is changing at a rate of 14 A/s. What is the magnetic ux through each turn of the coil at an instant when the current is 4.07 A? Correct answer: 3.65278 105 Wb. Explanation:

Let :

L = 55 mH , R = 190 , I0 = 21 A , and If = 4.62 A .

The time constant of a circuit gives the time required for the current to fall to 0.37 times its initial value. For an RL-circuit, = L . R

Let : E N I dI dt

= 43.6 mV = 0.0436 V , = 347 , = 4.07 A , and = 14 A/s .

Here you can easily check that

If = 0.37, so I0 that the decay time to If is given by = 0.055 H 190 = 0.000289474 s .

= (0.000289474 s) ln = 0.0004383 s .

004 10.0 points A circuit consists of a 22 resistor and a 500 mH inductor connected in series to a 11 V battery. What is the value of the current when the current is increasing at the rate of 5 A/s? Correct answer: 0.386364 A. Explanation: R = 22 , L = 500 mH = 0.5 H , V = 11 V , and i = 5 A/s . i In an RL circuit V =L i +iR t i V L t i= R 11 V (500 mH) (5 A/s) i= 22 i = 0.386364 A Let :
