20.1 Magnetic Fields, Field Lines, and Force

1.
If you place a small needle between the north poles of two bar magnets, will the needle become magnetized?
  1. Yes, the magnetic fields from the two north poles will point in the same directions.
  2. Yes, the magnetic fields from the two north poles will point in opposite directions.
  3. No, the magnetic fields from the two north poles will point in opposite directions.
  4. No, the magnetic fields from the two north poles will point in the same directions.
2. If you place a compass at the three points in the figure, at which point will the needle experience the greatest torque? Why?
An image of a bar magnet with the north side on top of the south side. Magnetic field lines are shown going from north to south. Point A is located above and close to the north side. Point B is right of the magnet between the two poles. Point C is below and away from the south side.
  1. The density of the magnetic field is minimized at B, so the magnetic compass needle will experience the greatest torque at B.
  2. The density of the magnetic field is minimized at C, so the magnetic compass needle will experience the greatest torque at C.
  3. The density of the magnetic field is maximized at B, so the magnetic compass needle will experience the greatest torque at B.
  4. The density of the magnetic field is maximized at A, so the magnetic compass needle will experience the greatest torque at A.
3.
In which direction do the magnetic field lines point near the south pole of a magnet?
  1. Outside the magnet the direction of magnetic field lines is towards the south pole of the magnet.
  2. Outside the magnet the direction of magnetic field lines is away from the south pole of the magnet.

20.2 Electromagnetic Induction

4. Yes or no—Is an emf induced in the coil shown when it is stretched? If so, state why and give the direction of the induced current.
Two images of a circular wire embedded in a magnetic field that is pointing into the page. The left figure shows the circular wire enclosing four of the magnetic field points with two hands on either end pulling on the wire initially shaped like a circle. The image on the right shows the same wire stretched out into an ellipse.
  1. No, because induced current does not depend upon the area of the coil.
  2. Yes, because area of the coil increases; the direction of the induced current is counterclockwise.
  3. Yes, because area of the coil increases; the direction of the induced current is clockwise.
  4. Yes, because the area of the coil does not change; the direction of the induced current is clockwise.
5.
What is Lenz’s law?
  1. If induced current flows, its direction is such that it adds to the changes which induced it.
  2. If induced current flows, its direction is such that it opposes the changes which induced it.
  3. If induced current flows, its direction is always clockwise to the changes which induced it.
  4. If induced current flows, its direction is always counterclockwise to the changes which induced it.
6.

Explain how magnetic flux can be zero when the magnetic field is not zero.

  1. If angle between magnetic field and area vector is 0°, then its sine is also zero, which means that there is zero flux.
  2. If angle between magnetic field and area vector is 45°, then its sine is also zero, which means that there is zero flux.
  3. If angle between magnetic field and area vector is 60°, then its cosine is also zero, which means that there is zero flux.
  4. If the angle between magnetic field and area vector is 90°, then its cosine is also zero, which means that there is zero flux.

20.2 Electromagnetic Induction

13.
To obtain power from the current in the wire of your vacuum cleaner, you place a loop of wire near it to obtain an induced emf. How do you place and orient the loop?
  1. A loop of wire should be placed nearest to the vacuum cleaner wire to maximize the magnetic flux through the loop.
  2. A loop of wire should be placed farthest to the vacuum cleaner wire to maximize the magnetic flux through the loop.
  3. A loop of wire should be placed perpendicular to the vacuum cleaner wire to maximize the magnetic flux through the loop.
  4. A loop of wire should be placed at an angle greater than 90° to the vacuum cleaner wire to maximize the magnetic flux through the loop.
14.
A magneto is a device that creates a spark across a gap by creating a large voltage across the gap. To do this, the device spins a magnet very quickly in front of a wire coil, with the ends of the wires forming the gap. Explain how this creates a sufficiently large voltage to produce a spark.
  1. The electric field in the coil increases rapidly due to spinning of magnet which creates an emf in the coil that is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.
  2. The magnetic field in the coil changes rapidly due to spinning of magnet which creates an emf in the coil that is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.

Explain why power is transmitted over long distances at high voltages.

  1. Plost = ItransmittedVtransmitted, so to maximize current, the voltage must be maximized.
  2. Ptransmitted = ItransmittedVtransmitted, so to maximize current, the voltage must be maximized.
  3. Plost = ItransmittedVtransmitted, so to minimize current, the voltage must be maximized.
  4. Ptransmitted = ItransmittedVtransmitted, so to minimize current, the voltage must be maximized.

20.3 Motors, Generators, and Transformers

21.

Your family takes a trip to Cuba, and rents an old car to drive into the countryside to see the sights. Unfortunately, the next morning you find yourself deep in the countryside and the car won’t start because the battery is too weak. Wanting to jump-start the car, you open the hood and find that you can’t tell which battery terminal is positive and which is negative. However, you do have a bar magnet with the north and south poles labeled and you manage to find a short wire. How do you use these to determine which terminal is which? For starters, how do you determine the direction of a magnetic field around a current-carrying wire? And in which direction will the force be on another magnet placed in this field? Do you need to worry about the sign of the mobile charge carriers in the wire?
