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.

Question: Two long straight thin wires with current lie against an equally long plastic cylinder, at radius R=20.0cmfrom the cylinder’s 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" θ1=0°to angle localid="1663154390159" θ1=180°, through the first and second quadrants of the xycoordinate system. The net magnetic field B→at the center of the cylinder is measured as a function of θ1. Figure 29-58b gives the x component Bxof that field as a function of θ1(the vertical scale is set by Bxs=6.0μT), and Fig. 29-58c gives the y component(the vertical scale is set by Bys=4.0μT). (a) At what angle θ2 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?

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?

Eight wires cut the page perpendicularly at the points shown in Figure 29-70 wire labeled with the integer k(k=1,2,...,8)carries the current ki, where i=4.50mA. For those wires with odd k, the current is out of the page; for those with even k, it is into the page. Evaluate∮B→.ds→ along the closed path in the direction shown.

Each of the eight conductors in Figure carries 2.0Aof current into or out of the page. Two paths are indicated for the line integral. ∮B→.ds→(a) What is the value of the integral for path 1 and (b) What is the value of the integral for path 2?

Shows four identical currents iand five Amperian paths (athrough e) encircling them. Rank the paths according to the value of ∮B→.ds→taken in the directions shown, most positive first.
