Magnetic resonance imaging needs a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T. The solenoid is 1.8 m long and 75 cm in diameter. It is tightly wound with a single layer of 2.0-mm-diameter superconducting wire. What size current is needed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

I=2.4×103A

Step by step solution

01

Part 1 : Given information

The solenoid is wounded in number of turns Nand due to the current in this wounded wire, there is a magnetic field produced in a uniform shape at the center of solenoid where equation (29.17) gives the magnetic field every where inside the infinite solenoid and along the central axis of an infinite solenoid the magnetic field is given by

B=μ0NIl

Where Nis the number of turns, Lits length, Iis the current in the solenoid and μ0is the free space permeability and equals

4π×10-7T.m/A

02

calculation

By solving for Iwe get

role="math" localid="1649234083484" I=Blμ0N

The number of turns equals the length of the solenoid by the diameter of the thin layer N=1.8m2×10-3m=900turns

Now let us plug the values for μ0,B,landNinto equation (2) to get the current in the solenoid

role="math" localid="1649234517945" I=Blμ0N=(1.5T)(1.8m)(4π×10-7T.m/A)(900turns)=2.4×103A

The lightweight glass sphere in FIGURE Q29.1 hangs by a thread. The north pole of a bar magnet is brought near the sphere.

a. Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to, repelled by, or not affected by the magnet? Explain.

b. Answer the same question if the sphere is positively charged.

a. An infinitely long sheet of charge of width L lies in the x y plane between x=-L / 2 and x=L / 2. The surface charge density is η. Derive an expression for the electric field E→ along the x-axis for points outside the sheet (x>L/2).

b. Verify that your expression has the expected behavior ifx≫L.

Hint: ln(1+u)≈uifu≪1.

c. Draw a graph of field strength E versus x for x>L / 2.

An infinitely wide flat sheet of charge flows out of the page in FIGURE CP29.83. The current per unit width along the sheet (amps per meter) is given by the linear current density Js. a. What is the shape of the magnetic field? To answer this question, you may find it helpful to approximate the current sheet as many parallel, closely spaced current-carrying wires. Give your answer as a picture showing magnetic field vectors. b. Find the magnetic field strength at distance d above or below the current sheet.

A long wire carrying a 5.0A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis atx=-2.0cm. A second, parallel wire carrying a 3.0A current intersects the x-axis at x=+2.0cm. At what point or points on the x-axis is the magnetic field zero if

(a) the two currents are in the same direction and

(b) the two currents are in opposite directions?

You have a horizontal cathode-ray tube (CRT) for which the controls have been adjusted such that the electron beam should make a single spot of light exactly in the center of the screen. You observe, however, that the spot is deflected to the right. It is possible that the CRT is broken. But as a clever scientist, you realize that your laboratory might be in either an electric or a magnetic field. Assuming that you do not have a compass, any magnets, or any charged rods, how can you use the CRT itself to determine whether the CRT is broken, is in an electric field, or is in a magnetic field? You cannot remove the CRT from the room.
