Students perform an experiment to determine the unknown charge $q$ on a small sphere of mass $m = 2.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ kg}$. The sphere carries a positive charge $+q$ and is suspended by a light, insulating thread of length $L$ between two large, vertical parallel conducting plates separated by a distance $d = 0.080\text{ m}$. A variable DC voltage source applies a potential difference $V$ across the plates, establishing a uniform horizontal electric field $E = \frac{V}{d}$ directed to the right.

When a potential difference $V$ is applied, the sphere deflects to the right and comes to static equilibrium with the thread making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical.

(a) On the dot below representing the sphere at equilibrium, draw and label the forces (not components) exerted on the sphere. Each force must be represented by a distinct arrow starting on, and pointing away from, the dot.

(b) Derive the relationship between the deflection angle $\theta$ and the applied voltage $V$ to show that:
$$\tan\theta = \left(\frac{q}{mgd}\right)V$$

(c) The students measure the equilibrium angle $\theta$ for several values of the potential difference $V$ and calculate $\tan\theta$. Their data are plotted on the grid below:

*Plotted data points $(V \text{ in V}, \tan\theta)$:* $(200, 0.08)$, $(400, 0.15)$, $(600, 0.24)$, $(800, 0.31)$, $(1000, 0.39)$.

i. Draw the line of best fit for the plotted data.

ii. Using the line of best fit, calculate an experimental value for the charge $q$ on the sphere.

iii. Calculate the tension $F_T$ in the string when $V = 800\text{ V}$ using your experimental results.

(d) The positively charged sphere is now replaced with an identical uncharged conducting sphere of the same mass $m$. With the potential difference $V$ maintained across the plates, state whether the uncharged conducting sphere deflects to the right, deflects to the left, or remains hanging vertically ($\theta = 0$). Briefly justify your answer.

(e) The original charged sphere is reinstalled. With the sphere in equilibrium at an angle $\theta_1$ under an applied voltage $V_1$, the voltage source is disconnected from the plates, leaving the plates isolated with fixed charge. The distance between the plates is then increased from $d$ to $2d$ without discharging them.

After equilibrium is re-established, is the new deflection angle $\theta_2$ greater than, less than, or equal to $\theta_1$?

____ $\theta_2 > \theta_1$ \quad ____ $\theta_2 < \theta_1$ \quad ____ $\theta_2 = \theta_1$

Justify your answer.

解题

(a) Free-Body Diagram
- Downward arrow for gravitational force, labeled $F_g$ (or $mg$ or $W$).
- Horizontal arrow pointing to the right for the electrostatic force, labeled $F_E$ (or $qE$).
- Upward and leftward diagonal arrow pointing along the string for tension, labeled $F_T$ (or $T$).

(b) Derivation
At static equilibrium, applying Newton's second law in two dimensions:
$$\Sigma F_x = F_E - F_T \sin\theta = 0 \implies F_T \sin\theta = F_E$$
$$\Sigma F_y = F_T \cos\theta - F_g = 0 \implies F_T \cos\theta = mg$$
Dividing the two equations:
$$\frac{F_T \sin\theta}{F_T \cos\theta} = \frac{F_E}{mg} \implies \tan\theta = \frac{F_E}{mg}$$
Substituting $F_E = qE = q\left(\frac{V}{d}\right)$:
$$\tan\theta = \left(\frac{q}{mgd}\right)V$$

(c) Data Analysis
i. A straight line of best fit is drawn with approximately equal distribution of points above and below the line, passing through $(0,0)$ and $(1000\text{ V}, 0.39)$.

ii. Calculating slope using two points on the best-fit line, e.g., $(0, 0)$ and $(1000, 0.39)$:
$$\text{Slope} = \frac{0.39 - 0}{1000\text{ V} - 0\text{ V}} = 3.9 \times 10^{-4}\text{ V}^{-1}$$
From the derived equation, $\text{Slope} = \frac{q}{mgd}$:
$$q = \text{Slope} \cdot mgd = (3.9 \times 10^{-4}\text{ V}^{-1})(2.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ kg})(9.8\text{ m/s}^2)(0.080\text{ m}) = 6.1 \times 10^{-7}\text{ C}$$

iii. At $V = 800\text{ V}$, $\tan\theta = 0.312$, so $\theta = \arctan(0.312) \approx 17.3^\circ$.
$$F_T = \frac{mg}{\cos\theta} = \frac{(2.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ kg})(9.8\text{ m/s}^2)}{\cos(17.3^\circ)} \approx \frac{0.0196}{0.9548} \approx 0.021\text{ N}$$

(d) Uncharged Conducting Sphere
- Selection: Remains hanging vertically ($\theta = 0$).
- Justification: In a uniform electric field, the conducting sphere polarizes such that negative charges accumulate on the left side and equal positive charges accumulate on the right side. Because the external electric field is uniform, the force to the left on the negative charges equals the force to the right on the positive charges ($F_{\text{net}} = q_+ E - q_- E = 0$). Thus, no net electrostatic force acts on the sphere, and it does not deflect.

(e) Effect of Changing Plate Separation
- Selection: $\theta_2 = \theta_1$
- Justification: When the battery is disconnected, the charge $Q_{\text{plate}}$ on the isolated parallel plates is constant, so the surface charge density $\sigma = \frac{Q_{\text{plate}}}{A}$ is constant. The electric field between large parallel plates is $E = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}$, which is independent of the plate separation $d$. Because $E$ remains unchanged, the electrostatic force $F_E = qE$ remains constant, and therefore the equilibrium deflection angle $\theta$ does not change ($\theta_2 = \theta_1$).

A conducting rod of mass \(m\), length \(L\), and internal resistance \(r\) rests on two long, parallel, horizontal conducting rails separated by a distance \(L\). The resistance of the rails and all mechanical friction are negligible. The left end of the rails is connected to an external resistor of resistance \(R\). The entire apparatus is placed in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) of magnitude \(B_0\) directed vertically into the page.

A light, inextensible string of negligible mass is attached to the center of the rod, extends horizontally to the right over a frictionless, massless pulley, and is connected to a suspended hanging block of mass \(M\).

At time \(t = 0\), the system is released from rest, and the rod moves to the right.

(a)
(i) On a diagram of the rod moving to the right with speed \(v\), draw and label all the horizontal forces acting on the rod.
(ii) State whether the induced current through the rod flows upward (toward the top rail) or downward (toward the bottom rail). Briefly justify your answer using Lenz's law.

(b)
(i) Derive an expression for the induced current \(I\) in the rod as a function of its speed \(v\). Express your answer in terms of \(B_0\), \(L\), \(R\), \(r\), and \(v\).
(ii) Derive a differential equation that could be used to determine the speed \(v(t)\) of the rod as a function of time \(t\). Express your answer in terms of \(M\), \(m\), \(g\), \(B_0\), \(L\), \(R\), \(r\), \(v\), and \(\frac{dv}{dt}\).

(d) On axes of speed \(v\) as a function of time \(t\), sketch the velocity of the rod from \(t = 0\) until after terminal speed is achieved.

\(\underline{\quad\quad}\ v_{T,\text{new}} > v_T\quad\quad\underline{\quad\quad}\ v_{T,\text{new}} < v_T\quad\quad\underline{\quad\quad}\ v_{T,\text{new}} = v_T\)
(ii) Justify your answer physically and mathematically.

解题

(a)(i)
Horizontal forces acting on the rod:
- Tension force \(F_T\) directed to the right (toward the pulley).
- Magnetic/Lorentz force \(F_B\) directed to the left (opposing motion).

(a)(ii)
As the rod moves to the right, the area enclosed by the loop increases, which increases the magnetic flux directed into the page. According to Lenz's law, the induced current must create an induced magnetic field directed out of the page to oppose this increase in flux. By the right-hand rule, an out-of-page magnetic field requires a counterclockwise current in the loop, which means the current flows upward through the rod (from the bottom rail to the top rail).

(b)(i)
The motional EMF induced in the moving rod is:
\[\mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} = B_0 L v\]
The total resistance in the closed loop is \(R_{\text{total}} = R + r\).
By Ohm's law, the induced current is:
\[I = \frac{\mathcal{E}}{R_{\text{total}}} = \frac{B_0 L v}{R + r}\]

(b)(ii)
The magnetic force opposing the rod's motion is:
\[F_B = I L B_0 = \left(\frac{B_0 L v}{R + r}\right) L B_0 = \frac{B_0^2 L^2 v}{R + r}\]
Applying Newton's second law to the combined system of mass \(M + m\):
\[\Sigma F_{\text{ext}} = (M + m)a\]
\[Mg - F_B = (M + m)\frac{dv}{dt}\]
\[(M + m)\frac{dv}{dt} = Mg - \frac{B_0^2 L^2 v}{R + r}\]

(c)
At terminal speed \(v_T\), the acceleration is zero (\(\frac{dv}{dt} = 0\)):
\[0 = Mg - \frac{B_0^2 L^2 v_T}{R + r}\]
\[v_T = \frac{Mg(R + r)}{B_0^2 L^2}\]

(d)
The speed-time graph starts at \((0,0)\) with initial slope \(a_0 = \frac{Mg}{M+m}\), is concave down, and asymptotically approaches the horizontal line \(v = v_T\).

(e)(i)
\(v_{T,\text{new}} < v_T\)

(e)(ii)
From the derived equation, terminal speed is inversely proportional to the square of the magnetic field (\(v_T \propto \frac{1}{B_0^2}\)). Physically, a stronger magnetic field produces a larger induced EMF and a stronger magnetic braking force at any given speed. Therefore, the magnetic force balances the gravitational pulling force \(Mg\) at a lower velocity. Specifically, when \(B_0\) is doubled to \(2B_0\), the new terminal speed becomes \(v_{T,\text{new}} = \frac{1}{4}v_T\).

评分标准

Part (a): 3 points total
- 1 point for correctly drawing and labeling the tension force directed to the right and the magnetic force directed to the left on the rod, with no extraneous horizontal forces.
- 1 point for correctly stating that the current is directed upward.
- 1 point for a valid justification using Lenz's law and flux change (flux into the page increases, so induced field opposes change by pointing out of the page, leading to CCW current/upward flow through the rod).

Part (b): 4 points total
- 1 point for applying Faraday's law / motional EMF: \(\mathcal{E} = B_0 L v\).
- 1 point for substituting total resistance \(R + r\) into Ohm's law to find \(I = \frac{B_0 L v}{R + r}\).
- 1 point for writing a correct expression for the magnetic force \(F_B = \frac{B_0^2 L^2 v}{R + r}\).
- 1 point for applying Newton's second law to the system to arrive at \((M + m)\frac{dv}{dt} = Mg - \frac{B_0^2 L^2 v}{R + r}\).

A circuit is constructed using an ideal battery with electromotive force $\mathcal{E}_0$, two resistors of resistance $R_1 = R$ and $R_2 = 2R$, an ideal inductor with inductance $L$, and a two-position switch $S$. The circuit components are arranged such that when switch $S$ is set to Position A, the battery is connected in series with resistor $R_1$, which is in series with a parallel combination consisting of resistor $R_2$ and the inductor $L$. When switch $S$ is flipped to Position B, the battery and resistor $R_1$ are disconnected, leaving the inductor $L$ and resistor $R_2$ in a closed isolated loop.

Initially, no current flows anywhere in the circuit. At time $t = 0$, switch $S$ is closed to Position A.

(a) Write, but do NOT solve, a differential equation that can be used to determine the current $I_L$ through the inductor as a function of time $t$ after the switch is closed to Position A. Express your answer in terms of $\mathcal{E}_0$, $R$, $L$, $I_L$, $t$, and physical constants, as appropriate.

(b) On the axes below, sketch qualitative graphs of:
i. The magnitude of the potential difference across the inductor, $V_L$, as a function of time $t$ from $t = 0$ until steady-state conditions are reached.
ii. The magnitude of the current through resistor $R_2$, $I_{R2}$, as a function of time $t$ from $t = 0$ until steady-state conditions are reached.

(c)
i. Determine the total current $I_{\text{tot}}$ delivered by the battery immediately after the switch is closed to Position A ($t = 0^+$).
ii. Determine the current $I_L$ passing through the inductor a long time after the switch has been closed to Position A ($t \to \infty$).

(d) After the circuit has remained in Position A for a very long time, at time $t = t_1$ the switch is switched to Position B, isolating the loop containing $L$ and $R_2$.
i. State whether the current through resistor $R_2$ immediately after $t = t_1$ is in the same direction or opposite direction as it was before $t_1$. Briefly justify your reasoning.
ii. Derive an expression for the total thermal energy $E_{\text{diss}}$ dissipated in resistor $R_2$ from time $t_1$ until the current in the loop drops to zero. Express your answer in terms of $\mathcal{E}_0$, $R$, $L$, and fundamental constants, as appropriate.

(e) The original inductor is replaced by a solenoid with the same core dimensions, length, and radius, but wound with twice the number of turns $N_{\text{new}} = 2N$.
i. Determine the factor by which the inductance changes ($L_{\text{new}} / L$).
ii. If the experiment in part (d) is repeated with this new inductor, indicate whether the time required for the loop current to decrease to half of its initial value increases, decreases, or remains the same. Justify your answer.

解题

(a) When switch $S$ is in Position A, apply Kirchhoff's loop and junction rules:
Let the total current from the battery through $R_1$ be $I_{\text{tot}} = I_{R2} + I_L$.
The potential difference across the parallel branch is $V_{\text{branch}} = V_L = L \frac{dI_L}{dt} = I_{R2} R_2 = 2R I_{R2}$.
Thus, $I_{R2} = \frac{L}{2R} \frac{dI_L}{dt}$, and $I_{\text{tot}} = I_L + \frac{L}{2R} \frac{dI_L}{dt}$.
Applying Kirchhoff's loop rule around the outer loop containing the battery, $R_1$, and inductor $L$:
$$\mathcal{E}_0 - I_{\text{tot}} R_1 - L \frac{dI_L}{dt} = 0$$
$$\mathcal{E}_0 - \left(I_L + \frac{L}{2R}\frac{dI_L}{dt}\right)R - L \frac{dI_L}{dt} = 0$$
$$\mathcal{E}_0 - R I_L - \frac{3}{2} L \frac{dI_L}{dt} = 0$$
Rearranging yields:
$$\frac{dI_L}{dt} = \frac{2\mathcal{E}_0 - 2R I_L}{3L} = \frac{2(\mathcal{E}_0 - R I_L)}{3L}$$

(b)
- **Graph i ($V_L$ vs $t$):** Starts at an initial non-zero maximum value $V_L(0) = \frac{R_2}{R_1+R_2}\mathcal{E}_0 = \frac{2}{3}\mathcal{E}_0$, and decreases monotonically with concave-up curvature, approaching the horizontal asymptote $V_L = 0$ as $t \to \infty$.
- **Graph ii ($I_{R2}$ vs $t$):** Since $V_{R2} = V_L$, the current $I_{R2}(t) = \frac{V_L(t)}{2R}$ begins at $I_{R2}(0) = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{3R}$ and decays monotonically with concave-up curvature asymptotically toward $0$.

(c)
- i. At $t = 0^+$, the inductor acts as an open circuit ($I_L = 0$). The circuit is simply $R_1$ and $R_2$ in series:
$$I_{\text{tot}}(0^+) = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R_1 + R_2} = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R + 2R} = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{3R}$$
- ii. As $t \to \infty$, the inductor acts as an ideal short circuit ($V_L = 0$), so no current flows through $R_2$. The entire current from the battery passes through $R_1$ and $L$:
$$I_L(\infty) = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R_1} = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R}$$

(d)
- i. Opposite direction. Prior to $t_1$, current through $R_2$ flowed downward (from the upper node to the lower reference rail). Immediately after $t_1$, the inductor maintains its downward current of magnitude $I_0 = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R}$ through its branch, which forces conventional current to circulate upward through resistor $R_2$ in the isolated closed loop.
- ii. Conservation of energy: all the magnetic energy initially stored in the inductor at $t_1$ is converted into thermal energy dissipated in resistor $R_2$ (the only resistive element in the isolated loop):
$$U_B = \frac{1}{2} L I_0^2$$
Substituting $I_0 = \frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R}$:
$$E_{\text{diss}} = \frac{1}{2} L \left(\frac{\mathcal{E}_0}{R}\right)^2 = \frac{L \mathcal{E}_0^2}{2R^2}$$

(e)
- i. The self-inductance of a solenoid is $L = \mu_0 n^2 A \ell = \mu_0 \frac{N^2}{\ell} A$. Since the number of turns doubles while the geometry remains unchanged, $L \propto N^2$, so:
$$\frac{L_{\text{new}}}{L} = \left(\frac{2N}{N}\right)^2 = 4$$
- ii. Increases. The discharging time constant for an $RL$ loop is $\tau = \frac{L_{\text{new}}}{R_2} = \frac{4L}{2R} = \frac{2L}{R}$, which is $4$ times greater than the original time constant $\tau_0 = \frac{L}{2R}$. Because the half-life $t_{1/2} = \tau \ln 2$ is directly proportional to $\tau$, the time required for current to decay to half of its initial value increases.
