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

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton鈥檚 mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion鈥檚 circulator orbit?

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 500V and produce currents of 80mA(or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 10ms. What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?

A battery-powered global positioning system (GPS) receiver operating 9.0 V on draws a current of 0.13 A. How much electrical energy does it consume during 30 minutes?

When a resistor with resistance Ris connected to a 1.50-V flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 W of electrical power. (Throughout, assume that each battery has negligible internal resistance.) (a) What power does the resistor consume if it is connected to a 12.6-V car battery? Assume that Rremains constant when the power consumption changes. (b) The resistor is connected to a battery and consumes 5.00 W. What is the voltage of this battery?

Which of the graphs in Fig. Q25.12 best illustrates the current I in a real resistor as a function of the potential difference V across it? Explain.
