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. Calculate (in unit-vector notation) at the(x,y,z)coordinates (a)localid="1663057128028" (0,0,5m)(b)localid="1663057196663" (0,6m,0)(c) localid="1663057223833" (7m,7m,0)and (d)(-3m,-4m,0)

Understanding the concept of Biot-Savart law

An equation known as the Biot-Savart Law describes the magnetic field produced by a steady electric current. It connects the electric current's strength, direction, length, and proximity to the magnetic field.

Formula:

B→=μ04πi∆S→×r→r3

03

Calculate (in unit-vector notation) at the (x,y,z)   coordinates (a) (0, 0, 5 m)

In the figure, the co-ordinate axis is the center of the cylinder. By symmetry, we will get the same value of magnetic field if we take the cross-sectional area of the left or right side of the cylinder. We take the right side cross-sectional area of the cylinder.

Biot- Savart law can be written as-

B→=μ04πiΔs→×r^r2=μ04πiΔs→×r→r3

Δs→=Δsj^

r→=xi^+yj^+zk^

Δs→×r→=Δsj^×xi^+yj^+zk^

i^×j^=k^,j^×i^=-k^,j^×k^=i^,j^×j^=0

Δs→×r→=Δszi^-xk^

B→=μ04πiΔszi^-xk^(x2+y2+z2)32

(a) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at (0, 0, 5 m) coordinates.

The magnetic field at the point: 0,0,5m

Herex=0,y=0,z=5m

Substituting in 1) we get,

B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m5i^-0k^m4π(02+02+5m2)32B→=2.4×10-10Ti^

(b) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at (0, 6 m, 0) coordinates

The magnetic field at the point: 0,6m,0

Here x=0,y=6m,z=0

B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m0i^-0k^m4π(02+62+02)32m3B→=0

(c) Determining the magnetic field in the vector notation at (7 m, 7 m, 0) coordinates.

The magnetic field at the point 7m,7m,0:

Herelocalid="1663061755332" x=7m,y=7m,z=0

localid="1663060711200" B→=4π×10-7T.m/A2A3×10-2m0i^-7k^m4π(72+72+02)32m3B→=-4.3×10-11Tk^

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%?

In Figure, a current i=10Ais set up in a long hairpin conductor formed by bending a wire into a semicircle of radiusR=5.0mm. Point bis midway between the straight sections and so distant from the semicircle that each straight section can be approximated as being an Infinite wire. (a)What are the magnitude and (b) What is the direction (into or out of the page) of B→at aand (c) What are the magnitude and (d) What is the direction B→ of at b?


Figure 29-52 shows, in cross section, four thin wires that are parallel, straight, and very long. They carry identical currents in the directions indicated. Initially all four wires are atdistanced=15.0cmfrom the origin of the coordinate system, where they create a net magnetic field .(a) To what value of xmust you move wire 1 along the xaxis in order to rotate counter clockwise by 30°? (b) With wire 1 in that new position, to what value of xmust you move wire 3 along the xaxis to rotate by30°back to its initial orientation?

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?

In Fig. 29-54a, wire 1 consists of a circular arc and two radial lengths; it carries currenti1=0.50Ain the direction indicated. Wire 2, shown in cross section, is long, straight, and Perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Its distance from the center of the arc is equal to the radius Rof the arc, and it carries a current i2 that can be varied. The two currents set up a net magnetic fieldB⇶Äat the center of the arc. Figure bgives the square of the field’s magnitude B2 plotted versus the square ofthe currenti22. The vertical scale is set byBs2=10.0×10-10T2what angle is subtended by the arc?
