The magnetic field in the interstellar space of our galaxy has a magnitude of about B=10-10T. How much energy is stored in this field in a cube l=10lightyearson edge? (For scale, note that the nearest star is 3.4light-yearsdistant and the radius of the galaxy is about 8 104light-years. )

Short Answer

Expert verified

The energy stored in the field isU=31036J

Step by step solution

01

Given

B=10-10Tl=10lightyears

02

Understanding the concept

First we convert one light year to meter per second, after that, by using the relationship between energy density and magnetic field we calculate the energy stored in the field.

Formula:

uB=B220

03

Calculate the energy stored in the field

According to the formula of energy density which is energy per unit volume if we multiply the volume of cube than we get energy stored in that field.

So first find the volume of the cube.

1lightyears=31083652460601lightyears=9.51015m/s

The edge of the cube in m/s is

l=109.51015l=9.51016

So, the volume of the cube as

V=l3V=9.510163V=8.51050

Now formula of energy density as
uB=B220U=B220V

So, by substituting the value we can get,

U=uBVU=10-1022410-78.51050U=10-202.510-68.51050U=31036J

Hence energy stored is 31036J

A wooden toroidal core with a square cross section has an inner radius of10 cm and an outer radius of 12 cm. It is wound with one layer of wire (of diameter1.0 mmand resistance per meter 0.020/m). (a) What is the inductance? (b) What is the inductive time constant of the resulting toroid? Ignore the thickness of the insulation on the wire.

Question: In Figure, two straight conducting rails form a right angle. A conducting bar in contact with the rails starts at the vertex at time t = 0and moves with a constant velocity of 5.20m/salong them. A magnetic field with B = 0.350 Tis directed out of the page. (a) Calculate the flux through the triangle formed by the rails and bar atT = 3.00S. (b) Calculate the emf around the triangle at that time. (c) If the emf is=atn, where a and n are constants, what is the value of n?

Figure 30-24 shows two circuits in which a conducting bar is slid at the same speed vthrough the same uniform magnetic field and along a U-shaped wire. The parallel lengths of the wire are separated by 2Lin circuit 1 and by Lin circuit 2. The current induced in circuit 1 is counter clockwise. (a) Is the magnetic field into or out of the page? (b) Is the current induced in circuit 2 clockwise or counter clockwise? (c) Is the emf induced in circuit 1 larger than, smaller than, or the same as that in circuit 2?
