Along the path shown in Figure 21.46 the magnetic field is measured and is found to be uniform in magnitude and always tangent to the circular path. If the radius of the path is 3 cmand Balong the path is 1.3×10-6 T, what are magnitude and direction of the current enclosed by the path?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the current enclose by path is 0.195 Aand the direction is into the plane of the paper

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Strength of the magnetic fieldB=1.3×10-6 T

Radius of the pathR=3 cm  or  0.03 m

02

Significance of Ampere's circuital equation

According to Ampere's circuital equation, the line integral of the magnetic field forming a closed loop around a current-carrying wire in a plane normal to the current is equal to μotimes the net current flowing through the loop.

∮B→·dL→=μoI ...(i)

Where, Bis the strength of the magnetic field, dL→is the length of elementary part, μois the permeability of the medium (4π×10-7 H/m) andIis the strength of current

03

Determining the magnitude and direction of the current enclosed by the path

By using equation (i)

∮B→·dL→=B∮dL→=B2πR

B2πR=μoII=B×2πRμo

Substitute all the values in above equation

I=1.3×10-6 T×2π×0.03 m4π×10-7 H/m=0.195 A

Hence the magnitude of the current enclose by path is 0.195 Aand the direction is into the plane of the paper

In Figure 21.15 the magnitude of the electric field is 1000 V/m, and the field is at an angle of 30oto the outward-going normal. What is the flux on the small rectangle whose dimensions are 1 mmby2 mm ?

The electric field has been measured to be horizontal and to the right everywhere on the closed box as shown in Figure 21.66. All over the left side of box E1=100V/m and all over the right (slanting) side of box E2=300V/m.On the top the average field is E3=150V/m , on the front and back the average field is E4=175V/mand on the bottom the average field is E5=220V/m.How much charge is inside the box? Explain briefly.

The electric field is horizontal and has the values indicated on the surface of cylinder as shown in Figure 21.65. What can you deduce from this pattern of electric field? Include a numerical result.

A lead nucleus is spherical with a radius of about 7×10-15m . The nucleus contains 82protons (and typically126 neutrons). Because of their motions the protons can be considered on average to be uniformly distributed throughout the nucleus. Base on the net flux at the surface of the nucleus, calculate the divergence of the electric field as electric flux per unit volume. Repeat the calculation at a radius of3.5×10-15m . (You can use Gauss’s law to determine the magnitude of the electric field at this radius.) Also calculate the quantityÒÏ/ε0 inside the nucleus.

In chapter 15 we calculated the electric field at a location on the axis of a uniformly charged ring. Without doing all those calculations explain why we can’t use Gauss law to determine the electric field at that location.
