Earth has a magnetic dipole moment of =81022J/T. (a) What current would have to be produced in a single turn of wire extending around Earth at its geomagnetic equator if we wished to set up such a dipole? Could such an arrangement be used to cancel out Earth鈥檚 magnetism (b) at points in space well above Earth鈥檚 surface or (c) on Earth鈥檚 surface?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. In a single turn of wire extending around Earth at its geometric equator, if we wished to set up such a dipole, the current would produce I=6.3108A.
  2. Yes, because far away from the earth surface, both magnetic dipole moments arethesame. If they are equal and opposite, thenthenet field will be zero.
  3. No, because magnetic fields of both are not the same. Therefore, both the fields will not cancel out.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Magnetic dipole moment is =81022J/T.

02

Understanding the concepts of magnetic dipole moment

We use the concept of magnetic dipole moment due to wire. Using the equation, we can find the current through the wire.

Formulae:

=NIA

03

Step 3:(a)Calculations of the current would have to be produced in a single turn of wire extending around Earth at its geometric equator if we wished to set up such a dipole

Using the equation of magnetic moment,

=NIA

Rearranging it for current,

I=NA

Here area is A=蟺谤2, and N is one.

We can write

I=81022(1)(3.14)(6.378106)2=810221.27731014=6.263108=6.3108A

In a single turn of wire extending around Earth at its geometric equator, if we wished to set up such a dipole, the current would produce I=6.3108A.

04

(b) Explanation for the such arrangement be used to cancel out Earth’s magnetism at points in space well above the Earth’s surface

Yes, because far away from the earth surface, both the magnetic dipole moments are the same. If they are equal and opposite, then the net field will be zero.

05

(c) Explanation

No, because magnetic fields of both are notthesame. Therefore, boththefields will not cancel out.
