Question: Figure 29-72 shows an arrangement known as a Helmholtz coil. It consists of two circular coaxial coils, each of200turnsand radiusR=25.0cm, separated by a distances=R. The two coils carry equal currentsi=12.2mAin the same direction. Find the magnitude of the net magnetic field at P, midway between the coils.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the net magnetic field at P is, 8.87×106T.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The radius of coil is, R=25cm=0.25m.

The distance between coils is, s=R=0.25m.

The turns in each coils is, N=200.

The current in coils is, i=12.2mA=0.0122A.

02

Understanding the concept of magnetic field

The magnetic field of the coil is given by equation 1. But the Helmholtz coil consists of two coils, so the net magnetic field is two times the magnetic field of the coil.

Formula:

B=μoiR2n2(R2+Z2)32

03

Calculations of the magnitude of the net magnetic field at P

From equation 1,

role="math" localid="1662755468318" B=μoiR2n2(R2+Z2)32

We have to find the magnetic field at the point P.

Since s=R, the point Pis at a distance R2from the center of the coil.

So, z=R2

Thus, by using the formula

B=μoiR2n2(R2+R22)32

For two coils, the net magnetic field is twice this field.

role="math" localid="1662756071580" B=2μoiR2N2(R2+R22)32B=μoiR2NR3(1+14)32B=μoiNR(54)32B=8μoiN55R

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1662756511182" B=8(4π×10-7TmA)(200)(0.0122A)55(0.25m)B=8.78×10-6T

The magnitude of the net magnetic field at P is role="math" localid="1662756497683" 8.78×10-6T.

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?

Figure 29-29 gives, as a function of radial distance r, the magnitude Bof the magnetic field inside and outside four wires (a, b, c, and d), each of which carries a current that is uniformly distributed across the wire’s cross section. Overlapping portions of the plots (drawn slightly separated) are indicated by double labels. Rank the wires according to (a) radius, (b) the magnitude of the magnetic field on the surface, and (c) the value of the current, greatest first. (d) Is the magnitude of the current density in wire agreater than, less than, or equal to that in wire c?

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?

Question: Figure 29-56ashows two wires, each carrying a current .Wire 1 consists of a circular arc of radius Rand two radial lengths; it carries current i1=2.0Ain the direction indicated. Wire 2 is long and straight; it carries a current i2 that can be varied; and it is at distanceR2from the center of the arc. The net magnetic fieldB→ due to the two currents is measured at the center of curvature of the arc. Figure 29-56bis a plot of the component of in the direction perpendicular to the figure as a function of current i2. The horizontal scale is set byi2s=1.00A. What is the angle subtended by the arc?

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" θ=π4rad. 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?
