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 Fig. 29-54a, wire 1 consists of a circular arc and two radial lengths; it carries currenti1=0.50Ain the direction indicated. Wire 2, shown in cross section, is long, straight, and Perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Its distance from the center of the arc is equal to the radius Rof the arc, and it carries a current i2 that can be varied. The two currents set up a net magnetic fieldB⇶Äat the center of the arc. Figure bgives the square of the field’s magnitude B2 plotted versus the square ofthe currenti22. The vertical scale is set byBs2=10.0×10-10T2what angle is subtended by the arc?

In Figure a, two circular loops, with different currents but the same radius of 4.0cm, are centered on a y axis. They are initially separated by distance L=3.0 c³¾, with loop 2 positioned at the origin of the axis. The currents in the two loops produce a net magnetic field at the origin, with y component By. That component is to be measured as loop 2 is gradually moved in the positive direction of the y axis. Figure b gives Byas a function of the position yof loop 2. The curve approaches an asymptote of By=7.20‰ӼTas y→∞. The horizontal scale is set byys=10.0cm. (a) What are current i1in loop 1 and (b) What are current i2 in loop 2?

(b) Show that when r = a, this equation gives the magnetic field magnitude Bat the surface of a long straight wire carrying current i; when r = b, it gives zero magnetic field; and when b = 0, it gives the magnetic field inside a solid conductor of radius acarrying current i. (c) Assume that a = 2.0 cm, b = 1,8 cm, and i = 100 A, and then plot B(r) for the range 0<r<6.0cm .

(b) If the two currents are doubled, is the zero-field point shifted toward wire 1, shifted toward wire 2, or unchanged?
