A wire lying along a yaxis from y=0to y=0.250mcarries a current of 2.00mAin the negative direction of the axis. The wire fully lies in a nonuniform magnetic field that is given byB⃗=(0.3T/m)yi^+(0.4T/m)yj^

In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic force on the wire?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic force on the wire isF⃗=(1.88×10-5N)k^

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  1. The wire is lying along y axis from y=0 to y=0.250m.
  2. The current i=2.00mAor2.00×10-3A

3. The uniform magnetic field B⃗=(0.3T/m)yi^+(0.4T/m)yj^.

02

Significance of magnetic field

The influence of a magnetic field produced by one charge on another is what is known as the magnetic force between two moving charges. By using the differential equation for force dF→and integrating it with respective to y, we can find themagnetic force on the wire.

Formula:

Magnetic force acting on current element idL→is

d(FB)⃗=i(dl)⃗×B⃗

03

Determining the magnetic force on the wire.

Magnetic force acting on current element idL→is given by

d(FB)⃗=i(dl)⃗×B⃗

Since the unit vector associated with the current element is-j^

Also,B⃗=(0.3T/m)yi^+(0.4T/m)yj^

Therefore, the force on the current element is

dF⃗=idl(-j^)×(0.3yî+0.4yj^)

Sincej^×i^=-k^and j^×j^=0, we obtain

localid="1662964246711" dF→=0.3iydIk^=0.3×(2×10-3A)+ydlk^=(0.6×10-3N/m2)×ydlk^dF→=0.3iydlk=0.3×(2×10-3A)+ydlk^=(0.6×10-3Nm2)×ydlk^

Let,ξ=0.6×10-3N/m2

Therefore,

dF⃗=ξydlk^

Integrating with respect to y within the limits y=0 to y=0.250m, we get

F→=∫dF→=ξk^∫00.25ydyF→=ξk^0.25m22

Therefore,

F→=(0.6×10-3N/m2)×0.25m22k^=1.88×10-5Nk^
