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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The current i1in the loop 1 is 0.90A.

(b) The current i2in the loop 2 is 2.7A.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data:

The radius, R1=R2=4cm=0.04m

The length, L=3cm=0.03m

The horizontal scale distance, ys=10cm=0.01m

The magnetic field withy component as y→∞, By=7.20μ°Õ

02

Significance of magnetic field:

The area in which the force of magnetism acts around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge is known as the magnetic field.

You can find the net magnetic field along the y direction due to both the coils. By using the given conditions in the problem and the graph, you can find the currents in both the loops.

Formula:

The magnetic field is defined by using following formula.

B=μ0iR22R2+Z232

Here, iis the current,μ0 is the permeability of free space having a value 4π×10−7NA2,R is the radius,Z and is the distance.

03

Explanation:

You know the magnetic field due to a coil at a distance zis,

B=μ0iR22R2+z232

The net magnetic field due to both the coils is,

By=B1+B2

But from the graph, you can conclude that the magnetic field due to loop is negative. Therefore,

By=μ0i1R22R2+z1232−μ0i2R22R2+z2232

As z12=L2and z22=y2.

The equation for magnetic field can be written as,

By=μ0i1R22R2+L232−μ0i2R22R2+y232 ..... (i)

04

(a) Determining the current i1 in the loop 1:

As y→∞,the equation of magnetic field becomes,

By=μ0i1R22R2+L232

Rearranging the above equation for current i1.

role="math" localid="1663242063902" i1=2By(R2+L2)32μ0R2

Substitute known values in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1663242054791" i1=2×7.20×10−6â€Í¿Ã—((0.04m)2+(0.03″¾)2)324π×10−7NA2×(0.04″¾)2=14.4×10−6â€Í¿Ã—1.25×10−4″¾34×3.14×10−7N/A2×1.6×10−3″¾2=0.8952A=0.90A


Hence, the current i1in the loop 1 is0.90A.

05

(b) Determining the current i2 in the loop 2:

Now from the graph, the horizontal scale is set as,

ys=10cm=0.01m

Therefore, you can say that By=0at y=0.06m.

From equation (i),

−μ0i2R22R2+y232=0μ0i1R22R2+L232=μ0i2R22R2+y232i1R2+L232=i2R2+y232

By substituting the values, you get

0.90A((0.04″¾)2+(0.03″¾)2)32=i2((0.04″¾)2+(0.06″¾)2)32

i2=0.90‼î×3.75×10−4m31.25×10−4m3=2.7A

Hence, the current i2in the loop 2 isrole="math" localid="1663242627340" 2.7A.

One long wire lies along an xaxis and carries a current of30A in the positive xdirection. A second long wire is perpendicular to the xyplane, passes through the point 0,4.0m,0, and carries a current of 40A in the positive zdirection. What is the magnitude of the resulting magnetic field at the point0,2.0m,0?

Figure 29-87 shows a cross section of a hollow cylindrical conductor of radii aand b, carrying a uniformly distributed currenti. (a) Show that the magnetic field magnitude B(r) for the radial distancer in the rangeb<r<ais given byB=μ0i2πra2-b2·(r2-b2)r

(b) Show that when r = a, this equation gives the magnetic field magnitude Bat the surface of a long straight wire carrying current i; when r = b, it gives zero magnetic field; and when b = 0, it gives the magnetic field inside a solid conductor of radius acarrying current i. (c) Assume that a = 2.0 cm, b = 1,8 cm, and i = 100 A, and then plot B(r) for the range 0<r<6.0cm .

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.

Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.0cmapart .They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point halfway between them has magnitude 300μ°Õ. (a) Should the currents be in the same or opposite directions? (b) How much current is needed?

In Fig. 29-44, point P2is at perpendicular distanceR=25.1cm from one end of a straight wire of length L=13.6cmcarrying current i=0.693A.(Note that the wire is notlong.) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at P2?
