Figure shows a wire ring of radiusa=1.8cmthat is perpendicular to the general direction of a radially symmetric, diverging magnetic field. The magnetic field at the ring is everywhere of the same magnitude B=3.4mT, and its direction at the ring everywhere makes an angle θ=20°with a normal to the plane of the ring. The twisted lead wires have no effect on the problem. Find the magnitude of the force the field exerts on the ring if the ring carries a current i=4.6mA.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the ring is 6.0×10-7N

Step by step solution

01

The given data

a) The radius of wire ring is a=1.8cm or1.8×10-2m

b) The magnitude of the magnetic field is B=3.4mT or3.4×10-3T

c) The direction of the magnetic field at the ring with the normal of the plane, θ=20°

d) The current flowing through the ring, i=4.6mA or4.6×10-3A

Determine the concept of magnetic force

If a particle is moving with a uniform velocity within a uniform magnetic field, then it experiences a magnetic force due to its charge value that induces a current within the loop. The force acting on the particle is due to the current along the length of the conductive wire. The direction of this magnetic force is given by Fleming's right-hand rule as the force is perpendicular to both the speed and magnetic field acting on it.

The magnetic force along a loop wire is as follows:

dFB→=idL→×B→ …… (i)

Here, iis the current in the loop, B→is the magnetic field vector that it experiences, dL→ is the length vector of the conducting wire

Determine the magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on a ring

Consider an infinitesimal segment of the loop of lengthds.

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the segment. Thus, the expression of magnitude of magnetic force on the segment is given using equation (i) and our assumption as follows:

dF=iBds

The horizontal component of the force has magnitude that is given as:

dFh=iBcosθds

It has direction towards the center of the loop.

The vertical component of the force has magnitude that is given as:

dFy=iBsinθds

It has upward direction. The net force on the loop is the sum of the forces on all the segments.

The horizontal components of the forces from all the vectors are both towards the center of the loop and in the opposite direction, hence, cancelled. Thus, the horizontal force component will yield a value of0N.

Being in the one direction, all the vertical components of the forces is now added to given a total vertical force value that is given by integrating the vertical component as follows:

F=∫dFy=iBsinθ∫ds=iBsinθ2πa=2πaiBsinθ

Substitute the values and solve as:

F=2×3.14×0.018m×4.6×10-3A×3.4×10-3Tsin20°=6.0×10-7N

The net force is the only vertical force acting on the loop.

Hence, the magnitude of the force is 6.0×10-7N.
