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

  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 shows a snapshot of a proton moving at velocityv→=200msj^toward a long straight wire with current i=350mA. At the instant shown, the proton’s distance from the wire is d=2.89cm. In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic force on the proton due to the current?

An electron is shot into one end of a solenoid. As it enters the uniform magnetic field within the solenoid, its speed is 800m/s and its velocity vector makes an angle of30° with the central axis of the solenoid. The solenoid carries 4.0Aand has8000turns along its length. How many revolutions does the electron make along its helical path within the solenoid by the time it emerges from the solenoid’s opposite end? (In a real solenoid, where the field is not uniform at the two ends, the number of revolutions would be slightly less than the answer here.)

In Fig. 29-40, two semicircular arcs have radii R2=7.80cmand R1=3.15cmcarry current i=0.281A and have the same center of curvature C. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at C?

Question: A long straight wire carries a current of 50 A. An electron, traveling at1×107ms, is0.05 mfrom the wire. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire, (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current, and (c) perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b)?

Three long wires all lie in an xyplane parallel to the xaxis. They are spaced equally,10 cm apart. The two outer wires each carry a current of 5.0 Ain the positive xdirection. What is the magnitude of the force on a3.0 m section of either of the outer wires if the current in the center wire is 3.2 A(a) in the positive xdirection and (b) in the negative xdirection?
