Id = ǫ0 d ΦE . dt The electric field inside a capacitor is essenq tially uniform and E = . Since the charge ǫ0 A on a capacitor in a discharging RC circuit is given by q(t) = Q e−t/RC , the displacement current is found by d ΦE dt d q = ǫ0 A dt ǫ0 A Id = ǫ0 = dq Q −t/(RC) = − e . dt RC Note that the displacement current equals the actual current in the wires to the capacitor. Thus, the Ampere-Maxwell law tells us that ~ will be the same regardless of which current B we evaluate. 1 002 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points Given C = 2 µF, Q = 28 µC, R = 229 kΩ, and ǫ0 = 8.85419 × 10−12 C2 /N · m2 , at what rate is the electric flux between the plates changing at time t = 0.1 s? 1. -4084300.0 2. -2947880.0 3. -5550340.0 4. -3881590.0 5. -4027370.0 6. -2231700.0 7. -5845500.0 8. -4826340.0 9. -4899350.0 10. -3442650.0 Correct answer: −5.55034 × 106 Vm/s.

Explanation: The magnetic flux through the strip of area dA is dΦ = B dA µ0 I b dx = 2π x µ0 2 b I dx , = 4π x so the total magnetic flux through the rectangular loop is Z d+a Φtotal = dΦ d Z d+a µ0 dx = (2 b I) 4π x d µ0 d+a = (2 b I) ln 4π d = (1 × 10−7 N/A2 ) 2 (0.1 m) (20 A) 0.01 m + 0.025 m × ln 0.01 m = 5.01105 × 10−7 Wb . 004 P Let : I = 20 A , a = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m , b = 10 cm = 0.1 m , d = 1 cm = 0.01 m , and µ0 = 1 × 10−7 N/A2 . 4π a d 2.5 cm b 10.0 points a 2a X Y Two long parallel wires are a distance 2a apart, as shown above. Point P is in the Version 121 – Exam 3 – hoffmann – (57505) plane of the wires and a distance a from the wire X. When there is a current I in wire X and no current in wire Y , the magnitude of the magnetic field at P is B0 . when there are equal currents I in the same direction in both wires, the magnitude of the magnetic field at P is 1. B0 2. 10 B0 9 3. 2B0 2 4. B0 3 4 5. B0 correct 3 Explanation: The superposition principle is applicable to the magnetic field. The magnetic field at P is the sum of two components magnetic fields due to wires X and Y respectively. Furthermore, we know the fields due to X and Y are in the same direction. So we can consider the magnitudes only. BX is known to be B0 . Apply Ampere’s law to magnetic field due to a long straight µ0 I 1 wire. We have B = ∝ . Therefore, 2πr r 1 1 BY = BX = B0 .

Current in a charging RC-circuit is i(t) = E −t/τ e . R Before S is closed, there is no charge on the capacitor so immediately after S is closed, (i.e., at t = 0), q0 = 0 . When t = ∞, the current in the circuit will diminish to nothing, so the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the emf, therefore q∞ = V C = E C .

The subscript 1 applies to the top circuit. Let : 5 = 27 Ω , = 324 Ω , = 1044 µF = 0.001044 F , = 87 µF = 8.7 × 10−5 F , and = 20 V . τ1 = R1 C1 = (27 Ω) (0.001044 F) = 0.028188 s , and τ2 = R2 C2 (2) = (324 Ω) (8.7 × 10−5 F) = 0.028188 s .

Version 121 – Exam 3 – hoffmann – (57505) Explanation: Let : T , 4 C = 1 µF = 1 × 10−6 F , L = 1 H , and q0 = 27.3 µC = 2.73 × 10−5 C . t= C L Q S Oscillation in LC circuit: q = qmax cos(ω t + δ) dq = −ω qmax sin(ω t + δ) I= dt 2π 1 with ω = , where T is the period =√ T LC of oscillation. When the switch closes, initially there is zero current in the circuit. Thus the solution has the correct phase at t = 0 dQ I= = −ω qmax sin(ω t) . dt 1 2π =√ ω= T LC 1 =p (1 H)(1 × 10−6 F) = 1000 1/C . T Now at t = , 4 2π T × I = −q0 ω sin T 4 = −q0 ω = −(27.3 µC)(1000 1/C) = −0.0273 A , so 1 1 L I 2 = L (−q0 ω)2 = ULmax 2 2 1 2 = UCmax = q 2C 0 (2.73 × 10−5 C)2 106 µJ = 2 (1 × 10−6 F) 1J 6 T Observe that at t = , the magnitude of 4 the current flow through the inductor is at a maximum, and the charge q = qmax cos ω t is T π zero at t = = . Thus, at this moment 4 2ω there is no energy stored in the capacitor and all the energy is stored in the inductor. At any other time, one can show that for an ideal LC circuit where there is no dissipation from resistance, the total energy stored is the sum of the energy in the capacitor and the energy in the inductor, and this energy is constant in time (although the energy in each one oscillates). 012 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 points T Find total energy at t = . 12 1. 81.9025 2. 372.645 3. 217.202 4. 85.5625 5. 48.735 6. 796.005 7. 222.042 8. 549.903 9. 1230.08 10. 174.845 Correct answer: 372.645 µJ. Explanation: The total energy does not change with respect to time, so Utotal = ULmax = UCmax = 372.645 µJ . UL = = 372.645 µJ . 013 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 points Consider a new initial condition at t = 0: q0 = 0, I0 = +1.0 A.

Remember qmax is assumed to be positive. Then only δ = 270◦ fits all the requirement; i.e., at t = 0 q = qmax cos 270◦ = 0 L C E and I = −ω qmax sin 270◦ = ω qmax > 0 . 014 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points An LC circuit is shown in the figure below.

Explanation: Let : Ls = 147 mH and Lℓ = 90 mH . The source of the current through the smallerdiameter inductor Is and the larger-diameter inductor Iℓ is from the same terminal. That is, the total current I in this parallel inductor complex is the sum of the currents in the two inductors I = Is + Iℓ . The emf E is the same across both inductors because they are connected in parallel. The emf is related to the total current I by E = −Leq Leq = − In general the total induced emf E across an inductor is due to self inductance with itself and mutual inductance with the other inductor. But with M = 0 mH, we only have self-inductance, so E d Is =− dt Ls d Iℓ dt E d Iℓ =− . dt Lℓ I = Is + Iℓ d Is d Iℓ E E dI = + =− − dt dt dt Ls Lℓ E (Ls + Lℓ ) =− , so Ls Lℓ E Ls Lℓ = dI Ls + Lℓ dt (147 mH) (90 mH) = 55.8228 mH . = 147 mH + 90 mH Leq = − Note that parallel inductors combine like parallel resistors (if no mutual inductance is present). 022 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points The same two inductors are reconfigured so that the smaller-diameter inductor is inside the larger-diameter inductor; the inductors overlap as shown below.

Explanation: The emf E across the parallel combination is related to the total current I = Is + Iℓ by E = −Leq dI dt E E =− . dI d Is d Iℓ + dt dt dt From the figure, currents in both inductors will produce magnetic fields (on the axis) that are in opposite directions. As a consequence, the partially induced emf in one of the inductors due to changing current in the other inductor will have the opposite sign as the partially induced emf from self inductance. Since M = 6 0 mH, the total emf induced across the smaller-diameter inductor is due to d Is the partial emf of the self inductance −L dt and the partial emf from mutual inductance dI +M ℓ , so dt Leq = − d Is d Iℓ +M dt dt d Iℓ d Is 1 E + Ls . =+ dt M dt Similarly, the emf across the largerdiameter inductor is E = −Ls d Iℓ d Is +M dt dt d Iℓ 1 d Is . =− E −M dt Lℓ dt Equating these, E = −Lℓ 1 d Is 1 d Is + E + Ls =− E −M M dt Lℓ dt d Is d Is = Lℓ E + Ls Lℓ −M E + M2 dt dt E (Lℓ + M) d Is =− . dt Ls Lℓ − M 2 12 d Iℓ , dt d Is d Iℓ +M dt dt d Is d Iℓ 1 E −M =− dt Ls dt E = −Ls and d Is d Iℓ +M dt dt d Is d Iℓ 1 E + Lℓ . =+ dt M dt E = −Lℓ Equating these, d Iℓ 1 d Iℓ 1 E + Lℓ =− E −M + M dt Ls dt d Iℓ d Iℓ = Ls E + Ls Lℓ −M E + M2 dt dt E (Ls + M) d Iℓ =− , so dt Ls Lℓ − M 2 d Is d Iℓ dI = + dt dt dt E (Ls + Lℓ + 2 M) =− Ls Lℓ − M 2 and Ls Lℓ − M 2 E = dI Ls + Lℓ + 2 M dt (147 mH) (90 mH) − (38 mH)2 = 147 mH + 90 mH + 2 (38 mH) Leq = − = 37.655 mH . Note: If the two inductors are wound like this a b Version 121 – Exam 3 – hoffmann – (57505) the magnetic field they produce (on the axis) are in the same direction, so the partial d Iℓ emf from mutual inductance is −M , and dt d Iℓ d Is −M and E = −Ls dt dt E = −Lℓ 13 iout ⊙ iin ⊗ O d Iℓ d Is −M . dt dt F E Therefore, by either repeating (or simply using the fact that +M ⇒ −M) in the previous calculations, Ls Lℓ − M 2 Ls + Lℓ − 2 M (147 mH) (90 mH) − (38 mH)2 = 147 mH + 90 mH − 2 (38 mH) = 73.205 mH . Leq = Note: In the special case when the two inductors merge together (have the same radius, same diameter, same length, same number of windings, and occupy the same space) then Ls = Lℓ = L = M and Leq L2 − M 2 (L − M) (L + M) = = 2 (L ∓ M) 2 (L ∓ M) 1 1 = L ± M = L or 0 , 2 2 with the upper/lower sign indicating same/opposite magnetic field directions from each solenoid inside the smaller inductor. If we have the same number of windings carrying a total current I, it is understandable that Leq = L . If Leq = 0, the currents are such that Is = 1 Iℓ = I, but the directions of the current in 2 each solenoid are opposite each other, so the total magnetic field they both produce is zero, as would be the case for zero inductance. 023 10.0 points The figure below shows a straight cylindrical coaxial cable of radii a, b, and c in which equal, uniformly distributed, but antiparallel currents i exist in the two conductors. a b c D C r1 r2 r3 r4 Which expression gives the magnitude B(r2 ) E of the magnetic field in the region c < r2 < b? 1.

Considering the symmetry of this problem, Version 121 – Exam 3 – hoffmann – (57505) we choose a circular path, so Ampere’s Law simplifies to B (2 π r1 ) = µ0 Ien , where r1 is the radius of the circle and Ien is the current enclosed.
