Answer» Correct Answer - B
the power dissipated in the resistor,
`P = (dW)/(dt) = I^(2)R`
Since the current through resistor varies with time, we must integrate.
The total energy produced as heat in the resistor
`W = int_(0)^(oo) I^(2) R dt`
The current in an `RL` circuit is `I = I_(0)e^(-(R//L)t)`
`W = int_(0)^(oo) I_(0)^(2) e^(-(R//L)t) R dt = (I_(0)^(2) R)/(-2R//L) [e^((-2R)/(L)t)]_(0)^(oo) = (1)/(2)`
We can integrate by substituting
Note thet the total heat produced equals the energy `(1//2)LI_(0)^(2)`
originally stored in the conductor.

`= - pi (21.2 xx 10^(-2))^(2) (8.5 xx 10^(-3))`
`= - 1.2 xx 10^(-3) V`
For loop b: `oint vec(E) .vec(dl) = - (d(vec(B) .vec(A)))/(dt) = A (dB)/(dt)`
`= - pi ((32.3)/(100))^(2) xx 8.5 xx 10^(-3) = - 1.2 xx 10^(-3) V`
For loop c: `oint vec(E) .vec(dl) = - (d(vec(B) .vec(A)))/(dt) = - (d(vec(B_(1))*vec(A_(1)) + vec(B_(2))* vec(A_(2))))/(dt)`
`= - (d(B_(1)A_(1) cos180^(@) + B_(@)A_(2) cos0^(@)))/(dt)`

Derive an expression for the total magnetic energy stored in two coils with inductances `L_(1)` and `L_(2)` and mutual inductance `M`, when the currents in the coils are `I_(1)` and `I_(2)`, respectively.

Answer» When the currents are increaseing in the circuit, we have emfs
`E_(1) = - L_(1) (dI_(1))/(dt) +- M (dI_(2))/(dt)`,`E_(2) = - L_(2) (dI_(2))/(dt) +- M(dI_(1))/(dt)`
where `+-` sign appears conistently in both equations and depends on the geometry of the coils and the sense of current. Work done in pushing charges `dq_(1)` and `dq_(2)` through each circuit. respectively, is
`dW = - E_(1) dq - E_(2) dq_(2)`
`= L_(1) (dI_(1))/(dt) dq_(1) bar+ M (dI_(2))/(dt)dq_(1) + L_(2) (dI_(2))/(dt) dq_(2) bar+ M (dI_(1))/(dt) dq_(2)`
`I_(1) = (dq_(1))/(dt),dq_(1) = I_(1)dt, I_(2) = (dq_(2))/(dt),dq_(2) = I_(2) dt`
`dW = L_(1)I_(1)dI_(1) + L_(2)I_(2)dI_(2) bar+(MI_(1) dI_(2) + MI_(2) dI_(1))`
`= L_(1)I_(1)dI_(1) + L_(2)I_(2)dI_(2) bar+Md(I_(1)I_(2))`
On integating the above expression from `0` to final current, we have
`U = int dW = L_(1) int_(0)^(I_(1)) I_(1) dI_(1) + L_(2) int_(0)^(I_(2)) I_(2) dI_(2) bar+ M int_(0)^((I_(1)I_(2))) d(I_(1)I_(2))`
`= (1)/(2) L_(1)L_(1)^(2) + (1)/(2) L_(2)I_(2)^(2) bar+MI_(1)I_(2)`

Figure shows five lettered regions in which a uniform magnetic field extends directly either out of the page (as in region `a`) or into he page. The field is increasing in magnitude at the same steady rate in all five regions, the regions are identical in area. Also shows are four numbered paths along which `oint vec(E). vec(dl)` has the magnitudes given below in terms of a quantity mag. Determine whether the magnetic fields in regions `b` through `e` are directed into ot out of the page. ? `|{:("Path",1,2,3,4),(oint vec(E).vec(dl),mag,2(mag),3(mag),0):}|`

Answer» `oint_(1) vec(E)* vec(dl) = mag`
`oint_(3) vec(E)* vec(dl) =3(mag)`
It means field in `b` and `c` should be out of the page.
`oint_(4) vec(E)* vec(dl) = 0`
It means field in `e` will be opposite to that in c,i.,e., into the page. Similarly field into `d` is also into the page.

A magentic field directed into the page changes with time according to `B = (0.0300t^(2) + 1.4.40)T`, where `t` is in seconds. The field has a circular cross section of radius `R = 2.50 cm`. What are the magitude and direction of the electric field at point `P_(1)` when `t = 3.00 s` and `r_(1) = 0.0200 m`?

Answer» `(dB)/(dt) = 0.060 t`
`E_(atP_(1)) = (r )/(2) (dB)/(dt) = (0.020)/(2) xx 0.060 = 6 xx 10^(-4) V//m`
Here magentic field is increasing with time hence electric field will be in anticlockwise direction.

In the circuit shows in Fig. the battery has negligible internal resistance. Show that the current in the circuit through the battery rises instanlty to its steady state value `E//R` when the switch is closed, provided that resistance `R` is `sqrt(L//C)`.

Answer» Let the currents through inductive branch and capacitive branch be `I_(L)` and `I_(C)`, respectively. Then the current through the battery, from `KCL`, is `I = I_(L) + I_(C)`.
Since the battery is connected in parallel to the `RL` and `RC` branches of the circuit, the current in the `RL` branch is unaffected by the presence of the `RC` branch, so
`I_(L) = (E)/(R) [1 -e^(-(R//L)t)]`and `I_(C) = (E)/(R) e^(-(t//RC))`
Hence, the current through battery is `I = (E)/(R) [1 -e^(-(R//L)t) + e^(-(t//RC))]`
If the current has to reach its final value `E//R` instananeously, the exponitial terms must cancel out, i.e.,
`e^(-(t//tauL)) = e^(-(t//tauC))`, which is possible if `tau_(L) = tau_(C)`.
`L//R = RC,R = sqrt((L//C))`
For at `t gt 0`, this is the desired result.

Two insulated wires are wound on the same hollow cylinder, s as to from two solenoids shering a common air-filled core. Let `l` be the length of the core, A the cross -sectional area of the core, `N_(1)` the number of times the first wire is wound around the core, and `N_(2)` the number of times the second wire is wound around the core. Find the mutual inductance of the two solenoids, neglecting the end effects.

Answer» If a current `I_(1)` flows around the first wire then a unfirom axial magnetic field of strength `B_(1) = (mu_(0)N_(1)I_(1))/(l)` is generated in the core. The magnetic field in the region outside the core is of negligible magnitude.The flux linked to a single turn of the second wire is `B_(1)A`. Thus, flux linked to all `N_(2)` turns of the second wire is
Now, `phi = N_(2)B_(1)A = (mu_(0)N_(1)N_(2)AI_(1))/(l) = MI_(1)`
`:. M = (mu_(0)N_(1)N_(2)A)/(l)`
As described pervisously, `M` is a genometric quantity depending on the dimensions of the core and the manner in which the two wires are wound around the core, but not no the actual actual currents flowing through the wires.

coil. Magnetic field at the centre `= (mu_(0)i)/(2b)*`
Flux through the smaller coil `= (mu_(0)i)/(2b) pia^(2)`
`:. M = (mu_(0))/(2b) pia^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let `I =` current in one loop. The magnetic field at the centre of the other co-axial loop at a distance `l` from the centre of the first loop is
`B = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (2I pia^(2))/((a^(2) + l^(2))^(3//2))`
where `p_(m) = I pia^(2)`
= magnetic moment of the loop
Flux through the other loop is
`phi_(12) = Bpi a^(2)`
`= (mu_(0))/(4pi) (2I pia^(2))/((a^(2) + l^(2))^(3//2)) pi a^(2)`
or `M = (phi_(12))/(I) = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (2I pia^(4))/((a^(2) + l^(2))^(3//2))`
`= (mu_(0) pia^(4))/(2(a^(2) + l^(2))^(3//2))= (mu_(0)pia^(4))/(2l^(3)) (alt lt l)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let `i_(1)` be the current in the circuit before shifting
`i_(1) = (E)/(R )` (i)
Since the flux associated with the inductors will be same just before and juse after shifting, therefore

Solve problem `19` if the planes of the coils make an angle `theta` with each other.

Answer» If current `i` flows in the larger coil, magnetic field produced at the centre will be perpendicular to the plane of the larger coil. Now, the area vector of the smaller coil which is per pendicular to the plane of the smaller coil will make an angle `theta` with the magnetic field.
Thus, flux `vec(B)*vec(A) = (mu_(0)i)/(2a_(2)) pia_(1)^(2) costheta`
or `M = (mu_(0)pia_(1)^(2) cos theta_(1))/(2a_(2))`

Solve problem `19` if the planes of the coils are perpendicular.

Answer» Let a current `i` flows in the coil of radius `a_(1)`. The magnetic field at the centre of this coil will now be parallel to the plane of the smaller coil and hence no flux will pass through it, so `M = 0`.
