A cylindrical cable of radius 8 mmcarries a current of25A, uniformly spread over its cross-sectional area. At what distance from the center of the wire is there a point within the wire where the magnetic field magnitude is0.100mT?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance from the centre of the wire where the magnetic field is 0.100mT is0.00128m.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  1. Radius of cableR=8 mm
  2. Currenti=25A
  3. Magnetic field magnitude0.100mT
02

Understanding the concept of Ampere's circuital law

According to Ampere's circuital law, the number of times the algebraic total of the currents traveling through the loop equals the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop.

We use Ampere's loop law to find the required distance.

Formulae:

∫B→.ds→=μ0ienc

03

Determining the distance from the center of the wire where the magnetic field is  0.100 mT

We know Ampere’s law is

∫B→.ds→=μ0ienc

Where magnetic field B→is is a small length element ds→of the amperian loop.

We draw the amperian loop inside the wire whose radius isr.
∫Bdscosθ=μ0ienc

Where localid="1662979084598" θis the angle between length element and magnetic field, and it is 0.

Because the current is uniformly distributed, the currentienc encircled the loop
is proportional to the area encircled by the loop; that is

localid="1662979414953" ienc=itotalAencAtotalB∫ds→=μ0iπr2πR2

This is the magnetic field inside the wire.

Substituting the given values in the above magnetic field we get

0.100×10-3 T=1.26×10-6T.mA25Ar2π×64×10-6m2r=0.100×10-3 T2π×64×10-6m21.26×10-6T.mA25 A

localid="1663054585587" r=1.28×10-3m  or  0.00128 m

the distance from the center of the wire is1.28×10-3m.

Figure 29-26 shows four arrangements in which long parallel wires carry equal currents directly into or out of the page at the corners of identical squares. Rank the arrangements according to the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of the square, greatest first.

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.

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.

Figure 29-81 shows a wire segment of length Δs=3cm, centered at the origin, carrying current i=2A in the positive ydirection (as part of some complete circuit). To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B→=μ04πiΔs→×r^r2 as the Biot–Savart law. This is because r and u are essentially constant over the segment.
