Find Period of rotation of the copper ring in a Magnetic Field

In summary, the problem involves a copper ring with a radius r and mass m hanging by a thread and rotating with a period T. The ring has a coefficient of self inductance L and a moment of inertia J. The question asks for the new rotation period of the ring when placed in a horizontal uniform magnetic field B, parallel to the ring's plane. The solution involves using the equation T' = T/√(1 + (B^2 r^4 T^2)/(4LJ)) and considering the magnetic and angular moments. After some calculations, the final solution is found to be T' = T/√(1 + (B^2 r^4 T^2)/(4LJ)).

Homework Statement



A Copper Ring with Radius [itex]r[/itex] and mass [itex]m[/itex] hangs by a thread and rotates with a period [itex]T[/itex]. Ring's coefficient of self inductance is [itex]L[/itex] . What would be a new rotation period of ring, if it was in a horisontal uniform magnetic [itex]B [/itex] field, which is parallel to Ring's plane on a picture? Ring's moment of inertia(axis goes through the centre of mass of Ring) is [itex]J[/itex]. Ring has no electrical resistance.

2. Answer:

[itex]T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{B^2 r^4 T^2}{4LJ}}}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution



Ring has no resistance, then magnetic flux is:

[itex]\Phi = LI + \vec{B}\vec{S} = const[/itex]

initial conditions:

[itex]\vec{B}\vec{S} = 0 ; I = 0[/itex]

[itex]LI = - BScos \angle(B,S) \rightarrow I = -\frac{BScos \angle(B,S)}{L}[/itex]

And after this stage I have big troubles :(
I think, I have to use the Magnetic and angular moments but I don't know how :(

The only one idea I have is following:
[itex] p_m - <p_{el}> = <p_m'>[/itex]
[itex] Jw - IS = Jw'[/itex]
[itex] \frac{J2\pi}{T} + \frac{BS^2<cos \angle(B,S)>}{L} = \frac{J2\pi}{T'} [/itex]
[itex]<cos \angle(B,S)> = 0[/itex]

ofc, It's the wrong solution :)
help me, please

FAQ: Find Period of rotation of the copper ring in a Magnetic Field

1. What is the purpose of finding the period of rotation of the copper ring in a magnetic field?

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the strength of a magnetic field and the period of rotation of a copper ring. This can help to understand the principles of electromagnetism and how magnetic fields affect conductive materials.

2. How is the period of rotation of the copper ring measured?

The period of rotation is measured by recording the time it takes for the copper ring to complete one full rotation in the magnetic field. This can be done using a stopwatch or a timer.

3. What factors can affect the period of rotation of the copper ring in a magnetic field?

The period of rotation can be affected by the strength of the magnetic field, the size and shape of the copper ring, and the material of the ring. Other factors such as temperature and external forces may also have an impact.

4. How does the period of rotation of the copper ring change with different strengths of the magnetic field?

The period of rotation of the copper ring is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. This means that as the magnetic field becomes stronger, the period of rotation will decrease. This relationship can be represented by a graph with the period of rotation on the y-axis and the strength of the magnetic field on the x-axis.

5. What are the real-world applications of understanding the period of rotation of the copper ring in a magnetic field?

Understanding the relationship between the period of rotation and the strength of a magnetic field has many practical applications. It can be used in the design and development of motors, generators, and other electromechanical devices. It is also important in the study of Earth's magnetic field and its effect on compasses and navigation systems.
