Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at point Pof Fig E28.35. in terms ofR,l1andl2. What does your expression give when I1=I2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1. The magnetic field at point p is0I1I24R .

2. The magnetic field at point p is zero ifI1=I2.

Step by step solution

01

The magnetic field due to the current-carrying element

The magnetic field due to the current element at a particular point is given by Biot-Savart鈥檚 law.

According to Biot-Savart law magnetic field at a particular point is given by:

dB=04ld/r^r2dB=04Id/sinr3

Where dB is the magnetic field due to the current-carrying element,0 is the permeability of the vaccum, l is the current through the conducting element, r is the distance from a point to the current-carrying element, dl is the differential length of the current element, and is the angle betweendl andr .

The magnetic field at the center of a semi-circular current-carrying loop:

The magnetic field at the center of the semi-circular current-carrying loop is given by:

B=0I4R

Where B is the magnetic field at the center of the semi-circular current-carrying loop, 0is the permeability of the vaccum, l is the current through the wire, and R is the distance from the wire.

The direction of the magnetic field due to the current-carrying wire:

The direction of the magnetic field due to the current-carrying conductor can be given by the right-hand thumb rule.

According to the right-hand thumb rule, if thumb of the right-hand points along the direction of the current, then the remaining curled fingers of the same hand give the direction of the magnetic field due to the current.

02

Calculation of net magnetic field at point p

The magnetic field at point p due to parallel wires:

Here, the angles between differential lengths of left and right straight wires with point p are 0 and 180 degrees.

Therefore according to Biot-Savart law, the magnetic field at point p due to parallel wires is zero.

The magnetic field at point p (at the center of the semicircular loop) due to the semi-circular loop:

The magnetic field at point p (at the center of the semicircular loop) due to semi circular loop is:

B1=0I14R

Here, according to the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field is clockwise. So conventionally B1 is negative.

The magnetic field at point p (at the center of the semicircular loop) due semi-circular loop 2 is:

B2=0I24R

Here, according to the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field is anti-clockwise. So conventionally B2 is positive.

So, the net magnetic field at point p is

Bnet=B2+B1Bnet=04RI2I1

Thus, the net magnetic field at point p is Bnet=04RI2I1.

03

Calculation of magnetic field at point p if the same current is flowing in both loops

Using expression:

Bnet=B2+B1Bnet=04RI2I1

If equal currents I1=I2is flowing through both wires, then the net magnetic field at point p isBnet=0T.

Thus, the magnetic field at point p is zero ifI1=I2..

A particle of mass 0.195 g carries a charge of-2.5010-8C. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity that is due north and has magnitude4.00104m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic field that will keepthe particle moving in the earth鈥檚 gravitational field in the samehorizontal, northward direction?

A typical small flashlight contains two batteries, each having an emf of1.5V, connected in series with a bulb having resistance17. (a) If the internal resistance of the batteries is negligible, what power is delivered to the bulb? (b) If the batteries last for1.5hwhat is the total energy delivered to the bulb? (c) The resistance of real batteries increases as they run down. If the initial internal resistance is negligible, what is the combined internal resistance of both batteries when the power to the bulb has decreased to half its initial value? (Assume that the resistance of the bulb is constant. Actually, it will change somewhat when the current through the filament changes, because this changes the temperature of the filament and hence the resistivity of the filament wire.)

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 鈩 resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).

The text states that good thermal conductors are also good electrical conductors. If so, why don鈥檛 the cords used to connect toasters, irons, and similar heat-producing appliances get hot by conduction of heat from the heating element?

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400and 800. 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?
