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. The current must circulate around an 8.0cm-diameter loop, about the size of a human heart, to produce this field is role="math" localid="1650967038236" 5.7×10-6A.

b. The magnitude of the heart’s magnetic dipole moment is28.5×10-9A·m2.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1 : Given Information.

We need to find the current which needs to circulate around an 8.0cm-diameter loop, about the size of a human heart, to produce this field.

02

Part (a) Step 2 :  Simplify.

As the segment on the loop applies a magnetic field, and the total magnetic field exerted by one loop at any point is given the equation (29.8)

Bloop=μoI2R

Need to find the current, therefore, that we can arrange equation (1) for I

localid="1650966946888" I=2RBloopμo(1)

The values for μo,RandBloopinto equation (2) to get a current loop

localid="1649202387880" I=2RBμ=20.04m90×10-12T4π×10-7T·m/A=5.7×10-6A

03

Part (b) Step 1 : Given Information.

We need to find the magnitude of the heart’s magnetic dipole moment.

04

Part (b) Step 4 : Simplify

The current act has a magnet which has a magnetic dipole moment μand represents the current loop enclosing an area. μis perpendicular to the loop and its direction of the right-hand rule from the south pole to the north pole.

localid="1650967159683" μ=AI(2)

If A is the area. Ring has a diameter d=8cm, and the area of the heart is calculated.

A=πd22=π8×10-2m22=5×10-3m2

The values for A and I:

μ=AI=5×10-3m25.7×10-6A=28.5×10-9A·m2

A square current loop 5.0cmon each side carries a500mA current. The loop is in a 1.2T uniform magnetic field. The axis of the loop, perpendicular to the plane of the loop, is 30°° away from the field direction. What is the magnitude of the torque on the current loop?

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?

A 2.5-m-long, 2.0-mm-diameter aluminum wire has a potential difference of 1.5V between its ends. Consider an electron halfway between the center of the wire and the surface that is moving parallel to the wire at the drift speed. What is the ratio of the electric force on the electron to the magnetic force on the electron?
