In Fig. 29-44, point P2is at perpendicular distanceR=25.1cm from one end of a straight wire of length L=13.6cmcarrying current i=0.693A.(Note that the wire is notlong.) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at P2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Magnitude of the magnetic field atP2 is 132nT.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the concept

Using Biot – Savart’s law, we can find the magnitude of the magnetic field atP2due to small length segment. For the magnetic field due to complete wire, we can integrate the magnetic field of small segment.

Formula:

B=μ04π×Idlsinθr2

02

Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at P2

Consider the diagram for the condition as follows:

From the above diagram:

sinθ=Rr

According to Pythagoras theorem:

r2=L2+R2

r=L2+R2

sinθ=RL2+R2

Consider the formula for magnetic field as:

B=μ04π×Idlsinθr2

Here, L changes from 0to 0.136m.

B=μ0I4π∫00.136sinθr2dI

B=μ0I4π∫00.136RL2+R2L2+R2dI

B=μ0I4π∫00.136RL2+R232dI

role="math" localid="1663004095204" B=μ0IR4π∫00.136dIL2+R232

Consider the integral as:

∫dxx2+a232=xa2x2+a212

Solve further as:

B=μ0IR4πLR2L2+R21200.136

Substitute the values and solve as:

B=μ0I4πR0.1360.1362+0.25121200.136

B=4π×10-7×0.6934π×0.251×0.48

B=1.32×10-7TB=132nT

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field at P2is 132nT.

In Figure, a current i=10Ais set up in a long hairpin conductor formed by bending a wire into a semicircle of radiusR=5.0mm. Point bis midway between the straight sections and so distant from the semicircle that each straight section can be approximated as being an Infinite wire. (a)What are the magnitude and (b) What is the direction (into or out of the page) of B→at aand (c) What are the magnitude and (d) What is the direction B→ of at b?


Figure 29-79 shows a closed loop with currenti=2A. The loop consists of a half-circle of radius4m, two quarter-circles each of radius2m, and three radial straight wires. What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the common center of the circular sections?

The current-carrying wire loop in Fig. 29-60a lies all in one plane and consists of a semicircle of radius 10.0cm, a smaller semicircle with the same center, and two radial lengths. The smaller semicircle is rotated out of that plane by angleθ, until it is perpendicular to the plane (Fig.29-60b). Figure 29-60c gives the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature versus angleθ . The vertical scale is set byBa=10.0μTandBb=12.0μT. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle?

In a particular region there is a uniform current density of 15A/m2in the positive z direction. What is the value of ∫B.dswhen that line integral is calculated along the three straight-line segments from (x, y, z) coordinates (4d, 0, 0) to (4d, 3d, 0) to (0, 0, 0) to (4d, 0, 0), where d=20cm?

Three long wires are parallel to a zaxis, and each carries a current ofi=10Ain the positive zdirection. Their points of intersection with the xy plane form an equilateral triangle with sides of 50cm, as shown in Fig. 29-78. A fourth wire (wire b) passes through the midpoint of the base of the triangle and is parallel to the other three wires. If the net magnetic force on wire ais zero, what are the (a) size and (b) direction ( + z or- z)of the current in wireb?
