### Problem 1

A resistor is made from a hollow cylinder of length l, inner radius a, and outer radius b. The region a < r < b is filled with material of resisitivy ρ. Find the resistance R of this component

1. R = ρ l / π (b2 - a2)
2. R = ρ l / π a2
3. R = ρ π (b2 - a2) / l
4. R = ρ l / π b2
5. R = ρ π b2 / l

### Solution 1

I knew the answer would include b2 - a2, so A and C would be good guesses. To start, get the current density:

j = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{I}{\rho (b^2 - a^2)}
By Ohm's Law
j = \sigma E = \frac{1}{\rho}= \frac{1}{\rho} E = \frac{1}{\rho}\frac{V}{l}
Where s is the conductivity and r is s the resistivity
\frac{1}{\rho}\frac{V}{l} = \frac{1}{\pi(b^2 - a^2)}
Finally
R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{\rho l}{\pi (b^2 - a^2)}

### Problem 2

What is the Hall Effect?

### Solution 2

The generation of a voltage when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field.

If a magnetic field is applied to a current carrying conductor perpendicularly, an electrical potential difference is generated. This physical phenomenon was discovered by E.H. Hall in 1879 and consequently is known as the Hall effect

### Problem 3

An infinitely long, straight wire carrying current I1 passes through the center of a circular loop of wire carrying current I2. The long wire is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Which of the following describes the magnetic force on the loop?

1. There is no magnetic force on the loop
2. Inward along the radius of the loop
3. Downward along the axis of the loop
4. Outward along the radius of the loop
5. Upward along the axis of the loop

### Solution 3

\vec{F} = I \vec{l} \times \vec{B} = 0

The Right Hand Rule

The magnetic field of I1 would be tangential to the imaginary circle traced by the fingers. In this case, l and B are in the same direction

There is no magnetic force on the loop. The answer is A.

### Problem 16

A parallel-plate capacitor has plate deparation d. THe space between the plats is empty.

1. E = \frac{V_0}{\kappa d} , U = \kappa U_0
2. E = \frac{V_0}{d} , U = \kappa^2 U_0
3. E = \frac{V_0}{d} , U = \kappa^2 U_0
4. E = \frac{V_0}{\kappa d} , U = U_0
5. E = \frac{V_0}{d} , U = U_0

### Problem 17

One end of a Nichrome wire of length 2L and cross-sectional area A is attached to an end of another Nichrome wire of length L and crosssectional area 2A. If the free end of the longer wire is at an electric potential of 8.0 volts, and the free end of the shorter wire is at an electric potential of 1.0 volt, what is the approximate potential at the junction of the two wires?

### Solution 17

Electric Potential

\Delta V = 8 - 1 = 7 \mathrm{volts}

Recall the equation for resistance

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

L is the length of the wire (in meters). A is the cross-sectional area of the wire (in meters2). ρ is the resistivity of the material (in ohm meter)

The long and thin wire's resistance is

R_1 = \rho \frac{2L}{A}

The fat and short wire's resistance is

R_2 = \rho \frac{L}{2A}

The resistors are in a series, so the equivalent resistance is

R_{\mathrm{eqiv}} = (2+ \frac{1}{2}) \rho \frac{L}{A}
R_{\mathrm{eqiv}} = (\frac{4}{2} + \frac{1}{2}) \rho \frac{L}{A}
R_{\mathrm{eqiv}} = \frac{5 \rho L}{2 A}

Use Ohm's Law to find the current I

V = I R
7 = I \frac{5 \rho L}{2 A}
I = \frac{14 A}{5 \rho L}

To find the potential at the junction, use Ohm's Law again to get

V_{\mathrm{junc}} = 1 + I R_2

The 1 comes from the fact that the potential at the end of the fatter wire is 1V, and thus the voltage across the junction is just the voltage at the end of the fat wire plus the current times the resistance of the fatter wire.

V_{\mathrm{junc}} = 1 + (\frac{14 A}{5 \rho L}) (\frac{\rho L}{2A})=
V_{\mathrm{junc}} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{7}{5} = \frac{12}{5}
V_{\mathrm{junc}} = 2.4 \mathrm{volts}

### Problem 18

For blue light, a transparent material has a relative permittivity (dielectric constant) of 2.1 and a relative permeability of 1.0. If the speed of light in a vacuum is c, what is the phase velocity of blue light in an unbounded medium of this material?

### Solution 18

So everyone knows that the speed of light is 3.00E8 m/s right?

Not necessarily!

It depends on the medium. The speed of light is actually a function of permittivityε and permability μ. The equation is:

\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu \epsilon }}
where
c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0 }}
So plug the given information into the first question
v = \frac{1}{\sqrt{( 1.0 \mu_0 ) ( 2.1 \epsilon_0 ) }}
=\frac{1}{\sqrt{ \mu_0 \epsilon_0 }} \frac{1}{\sqrt{( 1.0 ) ( 2.1 ) }}
= (c) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2.1}}
=\frac{c}{\sqrt{2.1}}

### Problem 19

A wire of diameter 0.02m contains 1E28 free electrons per cubic meter. For an electric current of 100 amperes, what is the drift velocity for free electrons in the wire?

### Solution 19

The given information is diameter d = 0.02m, so radius is 0.01m. Current density J = 1E28 electrons/meter. Current I = 100A. The charge of an electron is e = 1.6E-19 Coulombs.

Use this equation

J = \frac{I}{A}

where the area of a circle A = π r2. Then use this equation

J = n e v

where n = N / V, the number of electrons per volume was given to us in the question. e is known. We're trying to find v. So from the above two equations, get this equation

\frac{I}{A} = n e v
v =\frac{I}{A n e}

Solve for A

A = \pi r^2
= \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2
= \pi (\frac{0.02}{2})^2 = \pi (0.01)^2
= \pi (1E-4) \mathrm \approx 3.14 \times 10^{-4}

Plug A in to v

v = \frac{100}{ (3.14 \times 10^{-4}) (1 \times 10^{28}) (1.60 \times 10^{-19})}
= \frac{1 \times 10^2}{ (3.14 \times 10^{24}) (1.60 \times 10^{-19}) }
= \frac{1 \times 10^2}{ 5.02 \times 10^5 }
= 0.20 \times 10^{-3}
= 2 \times 10^{-4}

### Problem 20

3. If the temperature of the silicon sample is increase, its conductivity will increase
4. The conductivity of the copper sample is many orders of magnitude greater than that of the silicon sample
5. The addition of an impurity in the copper sample always decreases its conductivity

### Solution 22

### Problem 30

1. \frac{\mu_0 i r}{2\pi a^2}
2. \frac{\mu_0 i r}{2\pi a^2}
3. \frac{\mu_0 i r}{2\pi a^2}
4. \frac{\mu_0 i r}{2\pi a^2}
5. Zero

### Solution 30

Magnetic induction is magnetic field. The opposite currents cancel each other. Therefore, magnetic field outside is 0. The answer is E

### Problem 31

Two large conducting plates form a wedge of angle α as shown in the diagram above. The plates are insulated from each other; one has a potential V0 and the other is grounded. Assuming that the plates are large enough so that the potential difference between them is independenet of the cylindrical coordinates z and ρ, the potential anywhere between the plates as a function of the angle φ is

1. V0 φ / α
2. V0 φ2 / α
3. V0 / α
4. V0 α / φ
5. V0 α / φ2

### Solution 31

A Potential V is related to the electric field E by

\vec{E}=\nabla V

Since the problem supplies the approximation tool that the planes are quite large, one can assume the field is approximately constant. The remaining parameter that can't be thrown out by this approximation is the angle, and thus the only choice that yields

\frac{d}{d\phi} V = \mathrm{constant}

is choice C.

### Problem 32

If magnetic monopoles exist, which of these Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism would be INCORRECT?

1. \nabla \times \mathbf{H} = \mathbf{J} + \frac{\partial \mathbf{D}}{\partial t}
2. \nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}
3. \nabla \cdot \mathbf{D} = \rho
4. \nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0

### Solution 32

Magnetic monopoles remain a likeable (even lovable) theoretical construct because of their ability to perfectly symmetrize Maxwell's equations. Since the curl term has an electric current, the other curl term should have a magnetic current.

\nabla \cdot B \neq 0

is taken to be obvious in presence of magnetic charge. The answer is II and IV

The revised equations are:

1. \nabla \times \mathbf{H} = \mathbf{J}_e + \frac{\partial \mathbf{D}}{\partial t}
2. \nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\mathbf{J}_m - \frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}
3. \nabla \cdot \mathbf{D} = \rho_e
4. \nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = \rho_m

### Problem 33

A conducting cavity is driven as an electromagnetic resonator. If perfect conductivity is assumed, the transverse and normal field components must obey which of the following conditions at the inner cavity walls?

1. En = 0
2. Et = 0
3. Bn = 0
4. Bt = 0

### Solution 33

The full formalism of a conducting cavity can be solved via TEM (transverse electromagnetic) wave guides. However, to solve this problem, one needs only the two boundary conditions from the reflection at a conducting surface,

\Delta E_{\parallel} = 0

and

\Delta B_{\perp} = 0

The electric field parallel to the cavity is the transverse field. E is a curl-less field (i.e. it only diverges), so for the E-field lines to be parallel with the inner walls of an enclosure is just silly. B is a divergence-less field, (i.e. it only curls), so for the B-field lines to be perpendicular with the inner walls of the enclosure is equally as silly.

Et = 0 and Bn = 0

### Problem 34

A plane-polarized electromagnetic wave is incident normally on a flat, perfectly conducting surface. Upon reflection at the surface, which of the following is true?

1. The magnetic vector is reversed; the electric vector is not.
2. The electric vector is reversed; the magnetic vector is not.
3. The directions of the electric and magnetic vectors are interchanged.
4. Both the electric vector and magnetic vector are reversed.
5. Neither the electric vector nor the magnetic vector is reversed.

### Solution 34

The answer is B. The electric field is reversed. The magnetic field doubles but the direction stays the same.

### Problem 35

Induced Current ... Force on Left Side ... Force on Right Side

### Solution 35

Clockwise ... To the left ... To the right

### Problem 36

What is the magnitude of the net force on the loop when the induced current is i?

### Solution 36

\frac{\mu_0 i I}{2 \pi} \mathrm{ln}(\frac{a b}{r ( r + a )})

### Problem 37

A uniform and constant magnetic field B is directed perpendicularly into the plane of the page everywhere within a rectangular region as shown above. A wire circuit in the shape of a semicircle is uniformly rotated counterclockwise in the plane of the page about an axis A. The axis A is perpendicular to the page at the edge of the field and directed through the center of the straight-line portion of the circuit. Which of the following graphics best approximates the emf ε induced in the circuit as a function of t?

### Solution 37

Faraday's Law has the induced voltage is given by the change in magnetic flux

V = -\frac{dB \cdot A}{dt}

(The minus sign shows that the induced voltage opposes the change.)

Since the induced voltage has to be periodic (as the half-circle rotates around A), choices (D) and (E) are immediately eliminated.

The voltage changes from positive to negative in regions where the change in flux is slowing down, goes to 0, then speeds up again. Thus, choice (C) is out.

The change in flux is constantly increasing as the loop spins into the field, and it is constantly decreasing as it spins out of the field. This is choice (A).

### Problem 38

If an electric field is given in a certain region by Ex=0,Ey=0,Ez=kz, where k is a nonzero constant, which of the following is true?

2. The electric field cannot be constant in time.
3. There is a time-varying magnetic field.
4. The electric field is impossible under any circumstances.
5. None of these choices are correct

\epsilon (t) = \epsilon_m \mathrm{cos} \omega t

For a constant εm, at what angular frequency ω does the current have its maximum steady-state amplitude after the transients have died out?

### Solution 39

The maximum steady-state amplitude (after transients die out) occurs at the resonant frequency, which is given by setting the impedance of the capacitor and inductor

X_C = X_L
\frac{1}{\omega C} = \omega L
\omega^2 =1/(LC)
\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}
