A long, rigid conductor, lying along an xaxis, carries a current of5.0A in the negative direction. A magnetic field B→is present, given by B→=(3.0i^+8.0x2j^)mTwith xin meters and B→in milliteslas. Find, in unit-vector notation, the force on the 2.0msegment of the conductor that lies between x=1.0 mand x=3.0m.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force acting on a conductor in unit vector notation is -0.35Nk^

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data

a) The current flowing through the conductor is I=-5.0A

b) The magnetic field is B→=3.0i^+8.0x2j^mTor3.0i^+8.0x2j^×10-3T

c) The segment of the conductor on which force is acting as l=2.0m

d) The conductor lies in between is xi=1.0m and xf=3.0m

02

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.

03

Determine the force acting on a conductor in unit-vector notation

The conductor is lying along the x axis. Hence,dL→=dxi^mandB→=Bxi^+Byj^T

The expression of the magnetic force on the current carrying wire is given using the above data in equation (i) as follows:

FB→=∫idxi^m×Bxi^+Byj^T

According to the property of the vector product of two vectors,i^×i^=0andi^×j^=k^. The force value can be given using the given data in the above equation as follows:

FB→=i∫xixfBYdxk^

role="math" localid="1662526547252" =-5.0A∫1.03.08.0×10-3x2Tdxmk^

=-5.0×8.0×x331.03.0k^×10-3N

=-5.0×8.0××10-33.033-1.033k^N

Substitute the values and solve as:

FB→=-40××10-327-13k^N=-0.346k^N≈-0.35k^N

.

Hence, the value of the force is -0.35k^N.

In Fig. 28-47, a rectangular loop carrying current lies in the plane of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.040 T . The loop consists of a single turn of flexible conducting wire that is wrapped around a flexible mount such that the dimensions of the rectangle can be changed. (The total length of the wire is not changed.) As edge length x is varied from approximately zero to its maximum value of approximately 4.0cm, the magnitude τof the torque on the loop changes. The maximum value of τis localid="1662889006282">4.80×10-8N.m . What is the current in the loop?

A mass spectrometer (Figure) is used to separate uranium ions of mass3.92×10−25kg and charge3.20×10−19C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 100 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 1.00 m. After traveling through 180° and passing through a slit of width 1.00 mm and height 1.00 cm, they are collected in a cup.

Figure 28-29 shows 11 paths through a region of uniform magnetic field. One path is a straight line; the rest are half-circles. Table 28-4 gives the masses, charges, and speeds of 11 particles that take these paths through the field in the directions shown. Which path in the figure corresponds to which particle in the table? (The direction of the magnetic field can be determined by means of one of the paths, which is unique.)
