INSTRUCTIONS: For multiple choice questions, encircle the letter of the best answer. For problem solving
questions, show the necessary steps in your solution and box your final answer. Try to get an answer first
before asking your instructor. You are not allowed to look at your notes or the slides.

1. Which of the following would induce an electromotive force ε in the loop under the influence of
magnetic field directed out of the page as shown in the figure?
I. The magnitude of 𝐵 ⃗ decreases.
II. The loop moves to the right while remaining in the plane of the page.
III. The loop rotates about the horizontal or vertical axis.
IV. The loop moves directly out of the page with its plane still
perpendicular to 𝐵
⃗.
A. I and II only D. II and IV only
B. III and IV only E. II, III and IV only
C. I and III only

2. Consider a conducting loop with radius 𝑟 placed coaxially to an infinitely-long vacuum-cored solenoid of
radius 𝑅 with cross-sections as shown. The solenoid has turns per length 𝑛 and the
current through it is decreasing at a rate of 𝛼. What is the direction of the induced
current in the smaller loop?
A. ⨂
The solenoid has 𝐵 ⃗ directed into the page (RHR). For a
B. ⨀ solenoid, 𝐵 = 𝜇𝑜 𝑛𝐼 so current is proportional to 𝐵. Since
C. Clockwise current decreases at a rate of 𝛼, 𝐵 of the solenoid also
D. Counterclockwise decreases. To oppose this decreasing magnetic field, 𝐵𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑝 must
point into the page. Current induced in the loop is clockwise
E. No induced current (RHR) so C.

3. Which of the following statements correctly describe/s electrostatic and induced electric fields?
I. Electrostatic fields and induced electric fields are both conservative fields.
II. When a charge moves around a closed loop in an electrostatic field, the field will do non-zero work.
III. There is no potential function corresponding to an induced electric field.
A. I only
I. Electrostatic – conservative; induced e-fields – non-conservative
B. II only II. When a charge moves around a closed loop in an electrostatic field,
C. III only the field will do zero work.
D. I and II only III. True.
E. II and III only C

6. A 2.0-m bar moves through a uniform, 4.0-T magnetic field directed out of the page with a speed of
0.50 m/s. In each case, (i) find the magnitude of the emf induced between the ends of this bar and (ii)
identify which, if any, end (a or b) is at a higher potential. [1 pt each]
Hints:
• 𝜀 = (𝑣 × 𝐵 ⃗ )⋅𝑙
• The end with the higher potential is the end where the positive charges accumulate. Obtain the
general direction of the movement of positive charges using 𝐹 = 𝑞𝑣 × 𝐵
⃗.

⃗ = 𝑣𝐵sin 90∘. Hence, 𝜺 = 𝒗𝑩𝒍𝐜𝐨𝐬𝛉.

In all cases, 𝑣 × 𝐵

The bar moves in the direction of

(a) the +x-axis.

𝜀 = (0.50)(4.0)(2.0)cos60∘ = 𝟐. 𝟎 𝐕
a is at a higher potential since positive charges are
pushed towards it (𝑭⃗ is downward)

(b) the –y-axis.

𝜀 = (0.50)(4.0)(2.0)cos30∘ = 𝟐√𝟑 𝐕 = 𝟑. 𝟓 𝐕
⃗ is to the left)
a is still at a higher potential since positive charges are pushed towards it (𝑭

(c) the +z-axis (out of the page).

Zero, since the velocity is parallel to the magnetic field.
