A long, straight conductor passes through the center of a metal ring, perpendicular to its plane. If the current in the conductor increases, is a current induced in the ring? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the current is not induced in the ring.

Step by step solution

01

The definition of magnetic flux

It can be defined as the number of magnetic field lines passing through the given closed surface.

Mathematically it can be given by

ϕ=BAcosθ

Where, ϕis the magnetic flux, B is applied magnetic field and A is surface area of closed object and θis the angle between magnetic field lines and area vector of surface.

Faraday Law of EMF

Faraday Law of EMF states that the induced emf in a loop equals to the negative of the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop.

Mathematically it can be given by

e=dt=BdAdt

Where, e is the induced EMF.

02

Explanation

The magnetic field lines produced by long straight conductors are concentric circles and parallel to the plane of the ring. Therefore the magnetic field and area element are perpendicular to each other.

Hence, the magnitude of magnetic flux passing through the ring is zero.

Thus there is no current is induced in the ring.

BIO The average bulk resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0Ω·m. The conducting path between the hands can be represented approximately as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible bysoaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) What potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mA ? (Note that your result shows that small potential differences produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.) (c) With the current in part (b),what power is dissipated in the body?
