In Figure, a metal wire of mass m = 24.1 mg can slide with negligible friction on two horizontal parallel rails separated by distance d = 2.56 cm. The track lies in a vertical uniform magnetic field of magnitude 56.3 mT. At time t = 0, device Gis connected to the rails, producing a constant current i = 9.13 mA in the wire and rails (even as the wire moves). Att = 61.1 ms, (a) what is the wire鈥檚 speed?

Understanding 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鈬赌=idL鈬赌B 鈥︹ (i)

Here, i is the current in the loop, B鈬赌is the magnetic field vector that it experiences,dL鈬赌is the length vector of the conducting wire.

The acceleration of the charged particle in the conductor is as follows:

a=vt 鈥︹ (ii)

Here, v is the velocity of the charged particle, t is the time taken for the motion.

The force according to Newton鈥檚 second law is as follows:

F = ma 鈥.. (iii)

Here, m is the mass of the body, a is the acceleration of the body in motion.

a) Determine the speed of the wire

Here, force is magnetic force; hence F = FB

The speed of the wire is given using equations (ii) and (iii) as follows:

v=FBmt (iv)

Here, the direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the distance between two horizontal parallel rails, that is =90o. Thus, the force on the current carrying wire is given using equation (i) as follows:

FB=idB

Here, d is the distance of the parallel long rails.

Now, the magnitude of the speed of the wire is given using the above value in equation (iv) as follows:

v=idBmt=9.1310-3A2.5610-2m56.310-3T61.110-3s24.110-3g=3.3410-2ms

Hence, the value of the speed is 3.3410-2ms.

b) Determine the direction of motion of the wire

According to the right hand rule, direction of motion of the wire is left. Hold the right hand in such way that the curled figures denote the direction of the rotation of the vectors and the upstretched thumb denote the direction of the vector product of two vectors.

Here, the length of the wire has the same direction as the current flowing through the wire. The force acts on the wire along the thumb towards left side.

Hence, the motion of the wire is towards the left side.

In Figure 28-40, an electron with an initial kinetic energy of4.0keV enters region 1 at time t= 0. That region contains a uniform magnetic field directed into the page, with magnitude 0.010T. The electron goes through a half-circle and then exits region 1, headed toward region 2 across a gap of25.0cm. There is an electric potential difference V=2000V across the gap, with a polarity such that the electron鈥檚 speed increases uniformly as it traverses the gap. Region 2 contains a uniform magnetic field directed out of the page, with magnitude 0.020T. The electron goes through a half-circle and then leaves region 2. Atwhat time tdoes it leave?
