A current is set up in a wire loop consisting of a semicircle of radius4.00cm,a smaller concentric semicircle, and tworadial straight lengths, all in the same plane. Figure 29-47ashows the arrangement but is not drawn to scale. The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the center of curvature is 47.25渭罢. The smaller semicircle is then flipped over (rotated) until the loop is again entirely in the same plane (Figure29-47 b).The magnetic field produced at the (same) center of curvature now has magnitude 15.75渭罢, and its direction is reversed. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Radius of the smaller semicircle is2cm.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the concept

Given the magnetic field at the center of the circuit in both cases, find the magnetic field due to a large circle and magnetic field due to a small circle. Find the relation between the magnetic field and radius of the circle. From this, and find the radius of the smaller circle.

Formula:

B=0I4R

02

Calculate the radius of the smaller semicircle

Let the magnetic fields produced at the center of circuit due to larger and smaller circle be BLand BSrespectively.

From figure a, we can say that,

Magnetic field produced at the center of the circuit will be the sum of the magnetic fields produced by the larger and smaller circle because the direction of the current flowing through both arcs is same. So,

Ba=BL+BS

BL+BS=47.25T 鈥︹. (1)

From figure b, we can say that,

The magnetic field produced at the center of the circuit will be the difference between the magnetic fields produced by larger and smaller circle, because the direction of current flowing through both arcs is opposite. So,

Bb=BL-BS

BS-BL=15.75T 鈥︹. (2)

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously.

BL=15.75Tand BS=31.5T

Consider the equation of the magnetic field as:

B=0I4R

The current flowing through both the circles is same.

So 0I4will be constant for both circles.

Consider the relation is obtained as:

B1R

Solve further as:

BLRL=BSRS

RS=BLRLBS

From the equation (1) and (2) substitute the values as:

RS=15.750.0431.5

RS=0.02mRS=2cm

Thus, the radius of the smaller semicircle is2cm.

Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.0cmapart .They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point halfway between them has magnitude 300渭罢. (a) Should the currents be in the same or opposite directions? (b) How much current is needed?

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?

Question: In Fig. 29-77, a closed loop carries current 200mA. The loop consists of two radial straight wires and two concentric circular arcs of radii 2.0mand 4.0m. The angle is role="math" localid="1662809179609" =4rad. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature P?

Figure 29-52 shows, in cross section, four thin wires that are parallel, straight, and very long. They carry identical currents in the directions indicated. Initially all four wires are atdistanced=15.0cmfrom the origin of the coordinate system, where they create a net magnetic field .(a) To what value of xmust you move wire 1 along the xaxis in order to rotate counter clockwise by 30? (b) With wire 1 in that new position, to what value of xmust you move wire 3 along the xaxis to rotate by30back to its initial orientation?

Eight wires cut the page perpendicularly at the points shown in Figure 29-70 wire labeled with the integer k(k=1,2,...,8)carries the current ki, where i=4.50mA. For those wires with odd k, the current is out of the page; for those with even k, it is into the page. EvaluateB.ds along the closed path in the direction shown.
