In Fig. 29-4, a wire forms a semicircle of radius R=9.26cmand two (radial) straight segments each of length L=13.1cm. The wire carries current i=34.8mA. What are the(a) magnitude and(b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at the semicircle’s center of curvature C?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of the magnetic field isB=1.18×10-7T
  2. The direction of the magnetic field is into the page.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Radius of circle isR=9.26cm=9.26×10-2m
  2. Length of each straight segment isrole="math" localid="1663098315135" L=13.1cm=13.1×10-2m
  3. Current isi=34.8mA=34.8×10-3A
02

Determine the formulas

The magnitude of the magnetic field Bat centre of circular arc, of radius R, and central angleϕ, carrying a current Iis given as follows:

B=μIϕ4πR

For a straight conductor consider the formulas:

dB→=μ0Ids→×r^4πr2

Here,dB¯is the magnetic field through the current carrying conductor,ds¯length of the element andr^is unit vector that is a point from the element to the given point.

Formulae:

B=μ±õÏ•4Ï€¸éB=μ±õ»å²õ²õ¾±²Ôθ4Ï€°ù2

03

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the semicircle’s center of curvature C

To calculate the magnetic field B1due to current for left straight segment as follows:

B1=μIdssinθ4πr2

θ=0°

So,

B1=0

Calculate the magnetic field B2due to current for a right straight segment as follows:

B2=μIdssinθ4πr2

Here θ=0°

So

B2=0

Calculate the magnetic field B3due to current from circular section as follows

B3=μIϕ4πRB3=4π×10-7N/A2×34.8×10-3A×π4π×9.26×10-2mB3=1.18×10-7T

So, the total magnetic field at the center of semicircle arc is

B=B1+B2+B3=1.18×10-7T

Hence the magnetic field is, 1.18×10-7T.

04

(b) Calculate the direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at the semicircle’s center of curvature C

Using the right hand rule, direction of magnetic field is into the page
