7. A frog can be considered a magnetic dipole when immersed in strong magnetic field
(a property known as diamagnetism).
(a) [3 points] Does the frog have greater potential energy when its magnetic
dipole moment is aligned with the direction of the magnetic field or opposite
to it?
The potential energy of a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field is: U  μ  B ,
So the frog has more potential energy when it is aligned opposite to the field.
(b) [3 points] If the field is strong enough, it is possible to levitate the frog.
Would this occur near the center of a solenoid where the field is uniform, or
near the end of a solenoid where the field is diverging?
The force on a magnetic dipole in a non-uniform magnetic field is:
B
Fz   z
, so the force can only balance gravity when the frog is in the nonz
uniform field near the end of the solenoid.

(b) [6 points] Estimate the current in the circuit for the following three limiting

cases (give your reasons!): 1)   0 , 2)   , and 3)  
LC
1
Note that the complex impedance of an inductor is iL and of a capacitor is
iC
1) As   0 , the capacitor becomes an open circuit and the inductor
becomes a short circuit (infinite impedance and zero impedance,
respectively). So the current would be zero.
2) As   , the capacitor becomes a short circuit and the inductor
becomes an open circuit (zero impedance and infinite impedance,
respectively). So the current would be zero.

3) For  
, the current is maximized and matched to the resistor.

(c) [6 points] How does adding a transformer to the output of the power supply
affect the behavior of the circuit, if the number of secondary windings on the
transformer (which are connected to the circuit) is half of the number of
primary windings (which are connected to the power supply)?
NS
VP
NP
So the magnitude of the voltage (and current) will drop by a factor 2, but all
other features (frequency, phase) remain the same.
The transformer steps-down the AC voltage: VS 
