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.

In Fig. 29-48 part of a long insulated wire carrying currenti=5.78mAis bentinto a circular section of radius R=1.89cm. In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic field at the center of curvature Cif the circular section (a) lies in the plane of the page as shown and (b) is perpendicular to the plane of the page after being rotated 90°counterclockwise as indicated?

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 47.25μ°Õ. 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 15.75μ°Õ, and its direction is reversed. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle.

The current-carrying wire loop in Fig. 29-60a lies all in one plane and consists of a semicircle of radius 10.0cm, a smaller semicircle with the same center, and two radial lengths. The smaller semicircle is rotated out of that plane by angleθ, until it is perpendicular to the plane (Fig.29-60b). Figure 29-60c gives the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature versus angleθ . The vertical scale is set byBa=10.0μTandBb=12.0μT. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle?

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.00cmon a side, and an inner radius of15.0cmhas500turnsand carries a current of0.800A. (It is made up of a square solenoid—instead of a round one as in Figure bent into a doughnut shape.) (a) What is the magnetic field inside the toroid at the inner radius and (b) What is the magnetic field inside the toroid at the outer radius?

Figure 29-80 shows a cross-section of a long cylindrical conductor of radius a=4 cmcontaining a long cylindrical hole of radiusb=1.50cm. The central axes of the cylinder and hole are parallel and are distanced=2cmapart; currentis uniformly distributed over the tinted area. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the hole? (b) Discuss the two special casesb=0andd=0.
