  2. Current in the wire, i = 0.20A
  3. The dipole moment is,μ⃗=0.60i^-0.80j^

Significance of torque and orientation energy of a magnetic field

The torque, τ→experienced by the current carrying coil of area A and turns N, and carrying a current i in the uniform magnetic field B→is equal to the cross product of magnetic dipole momentμ→ of the coil and magnetic field B→.

The orientation energy of a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field is equal to the negative dot product of the magnetic dipole moment μ→of the coil and magnetic field B→.

Formula:

role="math" localid="1662971704358" τ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗ ...(i)

Here, τ→is the torque experienced by the current carrying coil, role="math" localid="1662970793088" μ→is the magnetic dipole moment, and B→is the magnetic field.

U(θ)=-μ⃗⋅B⃗ ...(ii)

Here, U(θ)is the orientation energy, μ→is the magnetic dipole moment, and B→is the magnetic field. μ=NiA ...(iii)

Here, μis the magnetic dipole moment, N is the number of turns of the coil, i is current in the coil, and A is the area of the cross-section of the coil.

Determining the value of μ

The magnetic dipole moment is calculated as,

μ⃗=μ(0.60i^-0.80j^).

The value of μis calculated using equation (i) as follows:

role="math" localid="1662971327706" μ=NiA=NiÏ€°ù2

Substitute the values of current, radius and number of turns to calculate μ.

μ=1(0.20A)π0.080m2=4.02×10-3A.m2

Therefore, the value of μis 4.02×10-3A.m2

(a) Determining the torque

Calculate the value of torque using the equation (i) as below:

τ⃗=μ⃗×B⃗=μ0.60i^-0.80j^×0.25Ti^+0.30Tk^=μ(0.600.30i^×j^-(0.800.25(j^×i^))-((0.80)(0.30)(j^×k^)))T=μ(-0.24i^-0.18j^+0.20k^)T

Now, substitute the value of μcalculated in step 1.

τ→=4.02×10-3A.m2(-0.24i^-0.18j^+0.20k^)=(-9.7×10-4)i^-(7.2×10-4)j^+(8.0×10-4)k^N.m

Therefore, the torque acting on the loop is,

(-9.7×10-4)i^-(7.2×10-4)j^+(8.0×10-4)k^N⋅m

05

(b) Determining the orientation energy

Use the equation (iii) to calculate the orientation energy.

Uθ=-μ(0.60i^-0.80jÁåž).0.25Ti^+(0.30T)k^=-μ(0.60)(0.25)T=-0.15μ=-6.0×10-4J

JTherefore, the orientation energy of the loop is -6.0×10-4.

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’s 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?
