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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ranking of circuits according to the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center isa>c>B.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  • Figure of three circuits is given.
  • Same current is flowing through each circuit.
02

Determining the concept

Formulae are as follows:

Find the net magnetic field at the center of each circuit using the formula for the magnetic field at the center of a circular loop. Comparing them rank the givencircuits according to the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center.

Where, B is a magnetic field, R is the radius, iis current,饾泹is permeability.

03

Determining the rank of circuits according to the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center, greatest first

The magnitude of magnetic field at the center of arc is given by,

B=0i4R

Let the magnetic field at the center of arc due to arc of radius r be B1 and due to arc of radius 2r be B2,and due to arc of radius 3r be B3 .

Then,

The net magnetic field at the center of circuit (a) is,

B=B1+B3=0i4r+0i12r=0i3r

The net magnetic field at the center of circuit (b) is,

B=B1-B3=0i4r-0i12r=0i6r

The net magnetic field at the center of circuit (c) is,

B=B1+B2+B3=0i8r+0i16r+0i12r=130i48r

Hence, the ranking of circuits according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center is,a>c>B

Therefore, the magnetic field at the center of arc depends inversely on its radius.

In a particular region there is a uniform current density of 15A/m2in the positive z direction. What is the value of B.dswhen that line integral is calculated along the three straight-line segments from (x, y, z) coordinates (4d, 0, 0) to (4d, 3d, 0) to (0, 0, 0) to (4d, 0, 0), where d=20cm?

Question:In Figure, four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page, and their cross sections form a square of edge length a=20cm. The currents are out of the page in wires 1 and 4 and into the page in wires 2 and 3, and each wire carries 20 A. In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic field at the square鈥檚 center?

In Fig. 29-4, a wire forms a semicircle of radius R=9.26cmand two (radial) straight segments each of length L=13.1cm. The wire carries current i=34.8mA. What are the(a) magnitude and(b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at the semicircle鈥檚 center of curvature C?

Question: Two long straight thin wires with current lie against an equally long plastic cylinder, at radius R=20.0cmfrom the cylinder鈥檚 central axis.

Figure 29-58ashows, in cross section, the cylinder and wire 1 but not wire 2. With wire 2 fixed in place, wire 1 is moved around the cylinder, from angle localid="1663154367897" 1=0to angle localid="1663154390159" 1=180, through the first and second quadrants of the xycoordinate system. The net magnetic field Bat the center of the cylinder is measured as a function of 1. Figure 29-58b gives the x component Bxof that field as a function of 1(the vertical scale is set by Bxs=6.0T), and Fig. 29-58c gives the y component(the vertical scale is set by Bys=4.0T). (a) At what angle 2 is wire 2 located? What are the (b) size and (c) direction (into or out of the page) of the current in wire 1 and the (d) size and (e) direction of the current in wire 2?

In Figure, point P is at perpendicular distance R=2.00cmfrom a very long straight wire carrying a current. The magnetic field Bset up at point Pis due to contributions from all the identical current length elements idsalong the wire. What is the distanceto the element making (a) The greatest contribution to field Band (b) 10.0% of the greatest contribution?
