b) The magnitude of the magnetic fieldfor point P is.4.00″¾T

c) The Poynting vector for point P is265 W/³¾2

d) The direction of the Poyntingvector is along thenegative y-axis.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Diameter of wire,d=2.50mm1 m1000 mm=2.50×10−3m

Resistance per unit length of wire,RL=1300Ω/³¾

Current through the wire,I=25‼î

02

Understanding the concept of Brewster angle

We can use the equation for the electric field in terms of the potential and the distance. We can use the equation for potential from Ohm’s law in the equation for the electric field to find its value. Using Ampere’s law, we can find the value of the magnetic field. Using the formula for the Poynting vector in terms of the electric and the magnetic field, we can find its value.

Formulae:

The magnetic field for a given area according to Ampere’s law,∮B⋅ds=μ0I(1)

The voltage equation using Ohm’s law,V=IR(2)

The electric field for a given voltage,E=VL(3)

The Poynting vector due to the directional flux,S→=E→×B→μ0(4)

03

a) Calculation of the magnitude of the electric field 

Substituting equation (2) in equation (3) and using the given data, we can get the magnitude of the electric field as follows:

E=IRL=25 A×1300 Ω/m=0.0833 V/³¾

Hence, the electric field at point P is 0.0833 V/³¾along the x-axis.

04

b) Calculation of the magnitude of the magnetic field 

Here, the point P is on the circumference of the wire with diameter d.

∮ds=πd

whereds,is the element which is the circumference of the Amperian loop.

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field using the above value and the given data in equation (1) is as follows:

localid="1664201670921" B=μ0IÏ€d=4π×10−7 H/m×IÏ€d=4×10−7 H/m×25 A3.14×2.50×10−3 m =4.00×10−3â€Í¿1 mT10−3â€Í¿=4.00″¾T

By using the right-hand rule, we can say that the magnetic field is in the clockwise direction when viewed along the x-axis.

Thus, at point P, the direction of the magnetic field is out of the page that is directed along z-axis and unit vector k.

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at point P is.4.00″¾T

05

c) Calculation of the Poynting vector for point P 

Using the given data in equation (4), we can get the Poynting vector at the point P is given as follows:

S→=0.0833 V/m×4×10−3 T4π×10−7 H/m=265 W/³¾2

Hence, the value of the Poynting vector is.265 W/³¾2

06

d) Calculation of the direction of the Poynting vector 

Here,Eâ‡¶Ä is along the x-axis andBâ‡¶Ä is along the z-axis.

Thus, using the given data in equation (4), we can get the direction of the Poynting vector as follows:

S→=Ei^→×Bk^→μ0=Ii^×RL×μ0Iπdk^μ0(fromequations(1)and(3))=I2RπdL(i^×k^)=I2RπdL(−j^)

Hence, the direction of the Poynting vector is along the negative y-axis.

The negative indicates that it is directed inwards.

At a beach, the light is generally partially polarized due to reflections off sand and water. At a particular beach on a particular day near sundown, the horizontal component of the electric field vector is 2.3times the vertical component. A standing sunbather puts on polarizing sunglasses; the glasses eliminate the horizontal field component.

(a) What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches the sunbather’s eyes?

(b) The sunbather, still wearing the glasses, lies on his side. What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches his eyes?

The leftmost block in Fig. 33-33 depicts total internal reflection for light inside a material with an index of refractionn1when air is outside the material. A light ray reaching point A from anywhere within the shaded region at the left (such as the ray shown) fully reflects at that point and ends up in the shaded region at the right. The other blocks show similar situations for two other materials. Rank the indexes of refraction of the three materials, greatest first.
