Chapter 4: Q19E (page 948)

(a) How large a current would a very long, straight wire has to carry so that the magnetic field 2 cm from the wire is equal to (comparable to the earth鈥檚 northward-pointing magnetic field)? (b) If the wire is horizontal with the current running from east to west, at what locations would the magnetic field of the wire point in the same direction as the horizontal component of the earth鈥檚 magnetic field? (c) Repeat part (b) except the wire is vertical with the current going upward.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) l = 10A

b) At all points directly above the wire the field of the wire would point northward.

c) At all points directly east of the wire, its field would point northward.

Step by step solution

01

The formula to calculate the current

The magnetic field due to a very long wire is given byB=渭0I2蟺谤 .

The current can be found byI=2蟺谤B渭0 .

02

Calculate the current

Given that r = 2 cm andB=10-4T .

I=2蟺rB渭0I=2蟺脳0.02脳10鈭�44蟺脳10鈭�7I=10A

03

Find the locations of magnetic field

We know that earth鈥檚 horizontal field points northwards. Therefore, at all points directly above the wire the field of the wire would point northward as shown in the figure

Now, the wire is vertical with the current going upward, at all points directly east of the wire, its field would point northward as shown in the figure

Question: A +2.00nC point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.00nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. (a) Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at each of the following points on the x-axis: (i) x = 0.200 m; (ii) x = 1.20 m; (iii) x = -0.200 m. (b) Find the net electric force that the two charges would exert on an electron placed at each point in part (a).

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.

You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 鈩� and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter

2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has8.5脳108free electrons per

cubic meter. (a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each

second? (b) What is the current density in the wire? (c) At what speed does

a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (d) If you were to use

wire of twice the diameter, which of the above answers would change?

Would they increase or decrease?

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400惟and 800惟. If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120Vline, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across the120Vline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?
