Problem 13

Figures $27.1 b$ and 27.2 actually describe the same situation, just from the viewpoints of two different inertial reference frames. In Fig. $27.2,$ in the reference frame of the magnet, you can think of the induced current as arising from the magnetic force on the electrons in the coil (motional emf). From the coil's reference frame (Fig. $27.1 b$ ), how would you describe the origin of the induced current? (This comparison played an important role in Einstein's thinking about relativity, and the phrase "the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a conductor" appears in the second sentence of Einstein's 1905 paper introducing the special theory of relativity; more in Chapter $33 .$ )

Problem 80

Clever farmers with power lines crossing their land have been known to steal power by stringing wire near the power line and making use of the induced current. At least one such crime went to court and resulted in a conviction- despite the defense's claim that the defendant didn't touch the lines. Figure 27.42 shows a possible crime scene, with a rectangular wire loop mounted in a vertical plane beneath a power line. The power line carries a current of $10^{4} \mathrm{A}$, alternating sinusoidally at $60 \mathrm{Hz}$. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
If the loop were mounted in a horizontal rather than vertical plane at the same distance from the power line, the induced emf would
a. increase slightly.
b. decrease slightly.
c. remain the same.
d. become essentially zero.

If the loop's vertical dimension were doubled by extending it toward the power line (dashed line in Fig. 27.42 ), the induced emf would
a. double.
b. quadruple.
c. more than double but not quadruple.
d. increase but not quite double.

Problem 82

Clever farmers with power lines crossing their land have been known to steal power by stringing wire near the power line and making use of the induced current. At least one such crime went to court and resulted in a conviction- despite the defense's claim that the defendant didn't touch the lines. Figure 27.42 shows a possible crime scene, with a rectangular wire loop mounted in a vertical plane beneath a power line. The power line carries a current of $10^{4} \mathrm{A}$, alternating sinusoidally at $60 \mathrm{Hz}$. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
Suppose the same crime were committed in Europe, where the standard frequency is $50 \mathrm{Hz}$. Assuming everything else about the situation were the same, the induced emf would
a. be greater.
b. be less.
c. be unchanged.
d. depend on the nature of the energy source.

When this crime occurs,
a. more fuel must be consumed at the power plant supplying the line.
b. the power company does not suffer any economic damage.
c. the power company can't determine that it's being robbed without an on-site inspection.
d. there's no power left for customers further down the line.
