Chapter 22: Q21CQ (page 809)

Is the force attractive or repulsive between the hot and neutral lines hung from power poles? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Force will be repulsive between the hot and neutral lines hung from power poles.

Step by step solution

01

Hot and Neutral lines

The "hot" wire is in black color which carries electricity from the breaker panel to the switch or light source.

The "neutral" wire is in white color that returns any unneeded electricity and current to the breaker panel.

02

Force between hot and neutral lines

  1. The hotline is the line that carries current through it but the neutral line does not.

  2. This indicates that current will be induced in the neutral line as a result of the hot line鈥檚 electric field.

  3. The current will flow in the opposite direction resulting in a repulsive force between the lines.

Therefore, the force will be repulsive between the hot and neutral lines hung from power poles.

What is the direction of a current that experiences the magnetic force shown in each of the three cases in Figure22.54, assuming the current runs perpendicular to B?

Noting that the magnetic field lines of a bar magnet resemble the electric field lines of a pair of equal and opposite charges, do you expect the magnetic field to rapidly decrease in strength with distance from the magnet? Is this consistent with your experience with magnets?

What are the directions of the fields in the center of the loop and coils shown in Figure 22.60 ?

A patient in an MRI unit turns his head quickly to one side and experiences momentary dizziness and a strange taste in his mouth. Discuss the possible causes.

Use the right-hand rules to show that the force between the two loops in Figure 22.49 is attractive if the currents are in the same direction and repulsive if they are in opposite directions. Is this consistent with like poles of the loops repelling and unlike poles of the loops attracting? Draw sketches to justify your answers.
