Questions: 17 – 18 

In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current I flows along the positive xdirection, as shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are

I, w and d, respectively.

A uniform magnetic field B is applied on the strip along the positive y-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the z-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface PQRS and appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to PQRS. A potential difference along the z-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.

B. If w₁ = w₂ and d₁= 2d₂ , then V₂ =V₁

A thermal power plant produces electric power of 600 kW at 4000 V, which is to be transported to a place 20 km away from the power plant for consumers’ usage. It can be transported either directly with a cable of large current carrying or by using a combination of step-up and step-down transformers at the two ends. The drawback of the direct transmission is the large energy dissipation. In the method using transformer, the dissipation is much smaller. In this method, a step-up transformer is used at the plant side so that the current is reduced to a smaller value.

It is reasonable to assume that the power cable is purely resistive and the transformer are ideal with a power factor unity. All the currents and voltages mentioned are rms values.
