Two long, straight conducting wires with linear mass density l are suspended from cords so that they are each horizontal, parallel to each other, and a distance dapart. The back ends of the wires are connected to each other by a slack, low resistance connecting wire. A charged capacitor (capacitance C)

is now added to the system; the positive plate of the capacitor (initial charge +Q0) is connected to the front end of one of the wires, and the negative plate of the capacitor (initial charge -Q0) is connected to the front end of the other wire (Fig. P28.79). Both of these connections are also made by slack, low-resistance wires. When the connection is made, the wires are pushed aside by the repulsive force between the wires, and each wire has an initial horizontal velocity of magnitude v0. Assume that the time constant for the capacitor to discharge is negligible compared to the time it takes for any appreciable displacement in the position of the wires to occur. To what height h will each wire rise as a result of the circuit connection?

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:  The force per unit length between two parallel current carrying wires

The force per unit length between two current carrying wires is given by

FL=μ0∥12πd

Where, μ0 is the permeability of vaccum,l1 and l2is the current through the two wires and d is the distance between wire.

I=I02

RMS Value of current

It is the value of alternating current which is given by direct current which flows through a resistance.

Q = CV

Mathematically it is given by

FL=μ022πd

Charge on the capacitor

The charge on the capacitor is given by

Q = CV

02

Calculation of acceleration of wires

The same current l is flowing through the wires

FL=μ022πd

From Newton’s second law

localid="1668271320115" maL=μ022πd

Now .put the value RMS current

maL=μ02πdI022

From ohm’s law

maL=μ04πdI022

In terms of charge on the capacitor

λa=μ04πdQ0RC2a=μ0Q024πλR2C2d

Thus, acceleration of wire isa=μ0Q024πλR2C2d

03

Calculation of height upto which wires rise

The velocity of wire after time equals to time constant

v=atv=μ0Q02RC4πλR2C2dv=μ0Q024πRRCd

According to energy conservation

12mv2=mghh=12v2g

Now putting the values of constants in above expression

h=12gμ0Q024πλRCd2

Thus, the wireswill rise to heighth=12gμ0Q024πλRCd2

A 140-g ball containing excess electrons is dropped into a 110-m vertical shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, the ball suddenly enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field that has magnitude 0.300 T and direction from east to west. If air resistance is negligibly small, find the magnitude ond direction of the force that this magnetic field exerts on the ball just as it enters the field.

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300keVis 16.0cm. You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy 300keV. An alpha particle has chargeq=+2e and mass m=6.64×10-27kg. If the magnetic filed isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?
