Figure shows a cross section of a long thin ribbon of width w=4.91cmthat is carrying a uniformlydistributed total currentlocalid="1663150167158" i=4.16mAinto the page. In unit-vector notation,what is the magnetic field at a point P in the plane of the ribbon at adistance localid="1663150194995" d=2.16cmfrom its edge? (Hint: Imaginethe ribbon as being constructed from many long, thin, parallel wires.)

The magnetic field at a point in the plane of the ribbon at d=2.16cmisBP=2.23×10-11Tj^

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Width of the long thin ribbon isw=4.91cm=0.0491m
  2. The total current isi=4.61μA=4.61×10-6A.
  3. The point P is at distanced=2.16cm=0.0216m.
  4. The ribbon is being constructed from many long, thin, parallel wires.

Understanding the concept

By using the equation for thecurrent carriedby the section of the ribbon of thicknessdxin its contribution toand integrating it with respect tox, we can find themagnetic field at a point P in the plane of the ribbon atd=2.16cm.

Formulas:

The current carried by the section of the ribbon of thickness dxis

di=idxw

The contribution ofto magnetic fieldBPis

dBP=μ0di2πx

  Step 3: Calculate the magnetic field at point P in the plane of the ribbon at d=2.16cm

Let’s consider a section of the ribbon of thicknessdxlocated at distancexaway from point P.

The current it carries is

di=idxw…………………………………………………………………1

And its contribution to the magnetic fieldBpis

dBP=μ0di2πx………………………………………………………………2

From equations 1and2, we get

dBP=μ0idx2πxw

Now integrating the above equation, we get

Bp=∫dBp=∫dd+wμ0idx2Ï€³æ·ÉBp=μ0i2Ï€·É∫dd+wdxxBp=μ0i2Ï€·Éln1+wdBP=4π×10-7×4.61×10-6A2π×0.0491In1+0.04910.0216

BP=2.23×10-11T

And Bppoints upward.

Therefore, in unit vector notationBP=2.23×10-11Tj^

In Figure, four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page, and their cross sections form a square of edge length a=13.5cm. Each wire carries7.50A, and the currents are out of the page in wires 1 and 4 and into the page in wires 2 and 3. In unit vector notation, what is the net magnetic force per meter of wirelengthon wire 4?

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.)

Figure a shows, in cross section, three current-carrying wires that are long, straight, and parallel to one another. Wires 1 and 2 are fixed in place on an xaxis, with separation d. Wire 1 has a current of0.750A, but the direction of the current is not given. Wire 3, with a current of0.250Aout of the page, can be moved along the xaxis to the right of wire 2. As wire 3 is moved, the magnitude of the net magnetic forceF→2on wire 2 due to the currents in wires 1 and 3 changes. The xcomponent of that force is F2xand the value per unit length of wire 2 isF2x/L2. Figure bgivesF2x/L2versus the position xof wire 3. The plot has an asymptoteF2xL2=-0.627μN/masx→∞.The horizontal scale is set byxs=12.0cm. (a) What are the size of the current in wire 2 and (b) What is the direction (into or out of the page) of the current in wire 2?

A cylindrical cable of radius 8 mmcarries a current of25A, uniformly spread over its cross-sectional area. At what distance from the center of the wire is there a point within the wire where the magnetic field magnitude is0.100mT?

Question: Figure 29-28 shows three circuits consisting of straight radial lengths and concentric circular arcs (either half- or quarter-circles of radii r, 2r, and 3r). The circuits carry the same current. Rank them according to the magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the center of curvature (the dot), greatest first.
