The two insulated wires in FIGURE P29.42 cross at a 30°angle but do not make electrical contact. Each wire carries a 5.0Acurrent. Points 1and2are each 4.0cmfrom the intersection and equally distant from both wires. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic fields at points 1and2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

At point 1 the magnitude isB1=5.2×10-5Tand the direction is outward, at point 2 the magnitude is B2=0and the direction is outward.

Step by step solution

01

Given information   

We need to find the direction of both magnitude fields.

02

Simplify 

The current in both wire is in the same direction with the same magnitude. a megnatic field produce by the current-carrying wires and the Biot-Savart law enables us to calculate the magnitude and direction of this magnetic field. at any point where the magnetic field due to the segment △s→of current-carrying wire is given by equation

B=μoI2Ï€°ù(1)

The distance between the wire and the point known as rand The current of the wire known as IAt point (1), 4cmis the distance between it and the intersection . So, its distance from the horizontal wire is

r1=r2=3.86cm

From the second wire the same distance are given

r1=r2=3.86cm

After applying right hand rule, Each wire has direction out of the page after finding the magnetic field at point 1, so the magnetic field at point 1 is the summation of both magnetic fields

B1=μo2πIr1+μo2πIr2=2μo2πIr1(2)

The values for and to get the magnetic field at point 1 by

B1=2μo2πIr1=2(4π×10-7T)×mA5A2π3.86×10-2m=5.2×10-5T

03

Simplify 

By using right-hand rule, you determine the direction of the fields by pointing your right thumb in the direction of current while the remaining fingers curl around the wire and point in the direction of magnetic field.

A magnetic field is applied at point 2by the horizontal wire with its direction out of the page while the other wire has its direction in. In the case where both wires exert the same magnetic field at point 2, then the net magnetic field at point 2is zero

B2=0

What is the line integral of B→between points i and f in FIGURE EX29.21?

The heart produces a weak magnetic field that can be used to diagnose certain heart problems. It is a dipole field produced by a current loop in the outer layers of the heart.

a. It is estimated that the field at the center of the heart is 90pT. What current must circulate around an 8.0cm-diameter loop, about the size of a human heart, to produce this field?

b. What is the magnitude of the heart’s magnetic dipole moment.

A 100Acurrent circulates around a 2.0mmdiameter superconducting ring.

a. What is the ring’s magnetic dipole moment?

b. What is the on-axis magnetic field strength 5.0cmfrom the ring?

An antiproton is identical to a proton except it has the opposite charge, -e. To study antiprotons, they must be confined in an ultrahigh vacuum because they will annihilate—producing gamma rays—if they come into contact with the protons of ordinary matter. One way of confining antiprotons is to keep them in a magnetic field. Suppose that antiprotons are created with a speed of 1.5×104m/s and then trapped in a 2.0mT magnetic field. What minimum diameter must the vacuum chamber have to allow these antiprotons to circulate without touching the walls?

The 10-turn loop of wire shown in FIGURE P29.71 lies in a horizontal plane, parallel to a uniform horizontal magnetic field, and carries a 2.0 A current. The loop is free to rotate about a nonmagnetic axle through the center. A 50 g mass hangs from one edge of the loop. What magnetic field strength will prevent the loop from rotating about the axle?
