Question
A spacecraft is in a circular orbit of radius 3.0 _ 104 km around a 2.0 _ 1030 kg pulsar. The magnetic fi eld of the pulsar at that radial distance is 1.0 _ 102 T directed perpendicular to the velocity of the spacecraft. The spacecraft is 0.20 km long with a radius of 0.040 km and moves counterclockwise in the xy-plane around the pulsar. (a) What is the speed of the spacecraft? (b) If the magnetic fi eld points in the positive z-direction, is the emf induced from the back to the front of the spacecraft or from side to side? (c) Compute the induced emf. (d) Describe the hazards for astronauts inside any spacecraft moving in the vicinity of a pulsar.
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number 84 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A spacecraft is in a circular orbit of radius 3.0 _ 104 km around a 2.0 _ 1030 kg pulsar. The magnetic fi eld of the pulsar at that radial distance is 1.0 _ 102 T directed perpendicular to the velocity of the spacecraft. The spacecraft is 0.20 km long with a radius of 0.040 km and moves counterclockwise in the xy-plane around the pulsar. (a) What is the speed of the spacecraft? (b) If the magnetic fi eld points in the positive z-direction, is the emf induced from the back to the front of the spacecraft or from side to side? (c) Compute the induced emf. (d) Describe the hazards for astronauts inside any spacecraft moving in the vicinity of a pulsar.
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
