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.

In Fig. 33-42, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets. The anglesθ1, θ2andθ3of the polarizing directions are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the yaxis (they are not drawn to scale). Anglesθ1and θ3are fixed, but angle θ2can be varied. Figure 33-43 gives the intensity of the light emerging from sheet 3 as a function of θ2. (The scale of the intensity axis is not indicated.) What percentage of the light’s initial intensity is transmitted by the system when θ2=30°?

Question: In the ray diagram of the Figure, where the angles are not drawn to scale, the ray is incident at the critical angle on the interface between materials 2 and 3. Angle ϕ=60.0o, and two of the indexes of refraction are n1=1.70and n2=1.60.(a) Find index of refraction n3and(b) Find angle θ. (c) Ifθ is decreased, does light refract into material 3 ?

Figure:

If the magnetic field of a light wave oscillates parallel to a y axis and is given byBy=Bmsin(kz-Ó¬t), (a) in what direction does the wave travel and (b) parallel to which axis does the associated electric field oscillate?

Question: (a) How long does it take a radio signal to travel 150kmfrom a transmitter to a receiving antenna? (b) We see a full Moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the Sun? The Earth–Moon and Earth–Sun distances are 3.8x105km and , respectively. (c) What is the round-trip travel time for light between Earth and a spaceship orbiting Saturn, 1.3x109km distant? (d) The Crab nebula, which is about 6500light years (ly) distant, is thought to be the result of a supernova explosion recorded by Chinese astronomers in A.D. 1054. In approximately what year did the explosion actually occur? (When we look into the night sky, we are effectively looking back in time.)

As a comet swings around the Sun, ice on the comet’s surface vaporizes, releasing trapped dust particles and ions. The ions, because they are electrically charged, are forced by the electrically charged solar wind into a straight ion tail that points radially away from the Sun (Fig. 33-39). The (electrically neutral) dust particles are pushed radially outward from the Sun by the radiation force on them from sunlight. Assume that the dust particles are spherical, have density3.5×103 k²µ/³¾3 , and are totally absorbing

.(a) What radius must a particle have in order to follow a straight path, like path 2 in the figure?

(b) If its radius is larger, does its path curve away from the Sun (like path 1) or toward the Sun (like path 3)?
