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 by30°back to its initial orientation?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Value of x that must move the wire 1 along the x axis in order to rotate B→counterclockwise by 30°is x=-7.0cm.
  2. Value of x that must move the wire 3 along x axis to rotate role="math" localid="1663229032917" B→by role="math" localid="1663229040839" 30°back to its initial orientation is role="math" localid="1663229074054" x=7.0cm.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Permeability of free space, μ0=4π×10-7TmA.
  2. Distance of each wire from origin,d=15.0cm.
  3. Wire shown by cross sign is inward direction. Wire 2.
  4. Current in each wire is the same.
02

Determine the formula for the magnetic field as:

Formula:

Magnetic field due to long wire carrying current is:

B=μ0i2πd

03

(a) Calculate the value of x that must move the wire 1 along the x axis in order to rotate B→ counterclockwise by 30°

Consider the net magnetic field is given as follows:

Bnet,y=0and localid="1663230136338" Bnet,x=B2+B4=2μ0i2πd

To obtain the condition of localid="1663230123483" 30°, we must write

Bnet,y=Bnet,xtan300

B1'-B3=2μ0i2πdtan30

Here, B3=μ0i2πdand B1'=μ0i2πd'

μ0i2πd'-μ0i2πd=2μ0i2πd13

There is one common term localid="1663230110052" μ0i2π; after canceling out, resolve as follows:

1d'-1d=2d3

1d'=2d3+1d

1d'=2+3d3

d'=d32+3

Solve further as:

d'=0.464×d

Given localid="1663228564741" d=-15.0cmfor wire 1. Using this in the above equation, solve as:d'=0.464×-15.0d'=-7.0cm

Move the wire 1 to localid="1663228536959">x=-7.0cm.

04

(b) Calculate value of x that must move the wire 3 along x axis to rotate B→ by 30° back to its initial orientation.

To restore the initial setting, we need to move wire 3 tox=+7.0cmbecause the two wires have the same current and they must be at the same distance from the point so that the initial symmetry is restored.

Figure 29-89 is an idealized schematic drawing of a rail gun. Projectile Psits between two wide rails of circular cross section; a source of current sends current through the rails and through the(conducting) projectile (a fuse is not used). (a) Let wbe the distance between the rails, Rthe radius of each rail, and i the current. Show that the force on the projectile is directed to the right along the rails and is given approximately byF→=i2μ02π·ln(w+RR)

(b) If the projectile starts from the left end of the rails at rest, find the speed vat which it is expelled at the right. Assume that I = 450 kA, w = 12 mm, R = 6.7 cm, L = 4.0 m, and the projectile mass is 10 g.
