Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The electric field strength 1.5 m from the center of the circle is 3.5 mV/m. At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

Respuesta :

Answer

The rate at which the magnetic field is changing is  [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = 0.000467 T/s[/tex]

Explanation

From the question we are told that

   The electric field strength is [tex]E = 3.5mV/m = 3.5 *10^{-3} \ V/m[/tex]

    The radius is  [tex]r = 1.5 \ m[/tex]

The rate of change of the  magnetic  field  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\frac{d \phi }{dt} = \int\limits^{} {E \cdot dl}[/tex]

Where [tex]dl[/tex] is change of a unit length

     [tex]\frac{d \phi}{dt} = A * \frac{dB}{dt}[/tex]

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

     [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

    So

    [tex]E \int\limits^{} { dl} = ( \pi r^2) (\frac{dB}{dt} )[/tex]  

  [tex]E L = ( \pi r^2) (\frac{dB}{dt} )[/tex]  

where L is the circumference of the circle which is mathematically represented as

     [tex]L = 2 \pi r[/tex]

So

     [tex]E (2 \pi r ) = (\pi r^2 ) [\frac{dB}{dt} ][/tex]

      [tex]E = \frac{r}{2} [\frac{dB}{dt} ][/tex]

       [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = \frac{E}{ \frac{r}{2} }[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = \frac{3.5 *10^{-3}}{ \frac{15}{2} }[/tex]

      [tex][\frac{dB}{dt} ] = 0.000467 T/s[/tex]
