Single-phase electricity at 240 V and 50Hz is sometimes transmitted via concentric cables. The conductor of diameter d1 passes at the center of the cable and acts as the live wire, while the concentric neutral of diameter d2 surrounds the live conductor. Red PVC separates the two conducting materials, and black PVC is used as the jacket as shown in the simple image below. Calculate the inductance of a 1 m long wire when d1 = 5.10 mm and d2 = 10.5 mm.
Two solenoids are placed such that their magnetic fields interact with each other. They have a mutual induction coefficient of M = 4.32 × 10−4 H. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in solenoid two if the current flowing through solenoid one changes uniformly at a rate of 650 A/s, and is it constant?
An iron rod, characterized by an average permeability μ equal to 1850 times the permeability of free space μ₀, is the core around which two coils are wound. The first coil, with a length of 5 meters, consists of 400 turns, while the second coil has 180 turns. Each turn has a radius of 3 centimeters.
(a) Determine the mutual inductance between these two coils.
(b) If the current in the first coil decreases uniformly from 20 Amperes to zero over a period of 110 milliseconds, what will be the induced electromotive force (emf) in the second coil?
