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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Magnitude of net magnetic field at P is 2.75×10-8T.
  2. Direction of magnetic field is into the page

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

  1. Loop carries a current of 200mA
  2. Radiusr1=2.00m
  3. Radius r2=4.00m
  4. The angle is θ=π4rad
02

Understanding the concept

We use the formula for magnetic field at the center of a circular arc, and it depends on current, radius of circular arc, and central angle.

Formula:

B=μiΦ4Ï€¸é

03

(a) Calculate the magnitude of net magnetic field at P

The central angle is as follows-

∅=2π-π4=7π4rad.

Now magnetic field due to the outer wire is as follows

B1=μi∅4Ï€¸é=4π×10-7Hm200×10-3A7Ï€44π×4=2.74×10-8T

From the right hand rule, this field is directed out of page.

Now magnetic field due to inner wire is as follows

B2=μi∅4Ï€¸é=4π×10-7Hm200×10-3A7Ï€44π×2=5.49×10-8T

From the right hand rule, this field is directed into the page.

Net field is as follows

role="math" localid="1662811190294" B=B2-B1=5.49×10-8T-2.74×10-8T=2.75×10-8T

04

(b) Calculate direction of magnetic field

Net field is directed into the page because field by the inner arc is greater than field by the outer arc.

Figure 29-49 shows two very long straight wires (in cross section) that each carry a current of4.00A directly out of the page. Distance d1=6.00m and distance d2=4.00m. What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field at point P, which lies on a perpendicular bisector to the wires?

In Fig. 29-40, two semicircular arcs have radii R2=7.80cmand R1=3.15cmcarry current i=0.281A and have the same center of curvature C. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at C?

Equation 29-4 gives the magnitude Bof the magnetic field set up by a current in an infinitely long straight wire, at a point Pat perpendicular distance R from the wire. Suppose that point P is actually at perpendicular distance Rfrom the midpoint of a wire with a finite length L.Using Eq. 29-4 to calculate Bthen results in a certain percentage error. What value must the ratio LRexceed if the percentage error is to be less than 1.00%? That is, what LRgives

BfromEq.29-4-BactualBactual100%=1.00%?

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?
