A straight, vertical wire carries a current of 2.60 Adownward in a region between the poles of a large superconducting electromagnet, where the magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.588 Tand is horizontal. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on a 1.00 cmsection of the wire that is in this uniform magnetic field, if the magnetic field direction is (a) east; (b) south; (c) 30.00 south of west?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Magnetic force F = 0.01533 N in south direction

(b) Magnetic force F = 0.01533 N in west direction.

(c) Magnetic force F = 0.01533 N at in North West direction.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of electric field

It is a region around charged particle within which a force would be exerted on another charged particle.

Current l = 2.60 A

Magnetic field magnitude B = 0.588 T

Section on wire l = 1.00 cm

02

Determination of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force 

(a)

the current direction is downwards from the upper view when magnetic field direction is in east. Angle between length and magnetic field is .by right hand rule force is in south which can be given as,

F=llBsinϕ

Here I is the current, l is the wire length and B is the magnetic field.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

F=(2.60A)1.00×10−2m(0.588T)=0.0153NF=0.0153N

Thus, the magnetic force F = 0.01533 N in south direction

Determination of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force

(b)

In second, the angle between length and magnetic field isϕ=90° when magnetic field is in south direction.by right hand rule force points to west,

role="math" localid="1668233909743" F=llBsinϕ

Here I is the current, l is the wire length and B is the magnetic field.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

F=(2.60A)1.00×10−2m(0.588T)=0.0153NF=0.0153N

Thus, the magnetic force in west direction

04

Determination of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force

(c)

In third, magnetic field is toward south and force is perpendicular to magnetic field and length.by right hand rule force direction is north of west by 60°.

F=llBsinϕ

Here I is the current, l is the wire length and B is the magnetic field.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

F=(2.60A)1.00×10−2m(0.588T)=0.0153NF=0.0153N

Thus, the magnetic force F = 0.01533 N in North-West direction.

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.41, both capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V. (a) How long after closing the switch S will the potential across each capacitor be reduced to 10.0 V, and (b) what will be the current at that time?

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric

signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a

sudden rush of Na+ions, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements

have revealed that typically about 5.6×1011Na+ions enter each meter of the

axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge

in a meter of axon?

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each other. If you then stick the sticky side of one to the shiny side of the other and rip them apart, they will attract each other. Give a plausible explanation, involving transfer of electrons between the strips of tape, for this sequence of events.

Suppose you bring a slab of dielectric close to the gap between the plates of a charged capacitor, preparing to slide it between the plates. What force will you feel? What does this force tell you about the energy stored between the plates once the dielectric is in place, compared to before the dielectric is in place.
