Chapter 4: Q80CP (page 953)

A wide, long, insulating belt has a uniform positive charge per unit area s on its upper surface. Rollers at each end move the belt to the right at a constant speed v. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by the moving belt at a point just above its surface. (Hint:At points near the surface and far from its edges or ends, the moving belt can be considered to be an infinite current sheet like that in Problem 28.73.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the magnetic field is P0v蟽2 and the direction is outside the page.

Step by step solution

01

 Identification of the concept

The conveyer belt is considered or approximated in this case to be an infinitely long current sheet.

Also from the mentioned problem 28.73,the magnetic field B of an infinite current sheet is,

B=12渭0ln鈭�

Here, symbols have their usual meanings and n=1L, L being the width of the sheet.

02

Determination of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by the conveyer belt.

Consider a small length on the conveyer belt to be 鈭�x.

Therefore charge in that small length element is,

螖Q=L螖x蟽

Now, the current expression is,

I=螖蚕螖迟=L螖虫螖迟蟽=LV蟽

Thus, by approximating the same magnetic field as an infinite sheet,

B=渭02LI=渭0v蟽2

Thus the magnitude is obtained. Refer to the image below for checking the direction of the magnetic field.

The direction of the magnetic field is out of the page.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A point charge is placed at each corner of a square with side length a. All charges have magnitude q. Two of the charges are positive and two are negative (Fig. E21.42). What is the direction of the net electric field at the canter of the square due to the four charges, and what is its magnitude in terms of q and a?

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

Two copper wires with different diameter are joined end to end. If a current flow in the wire combination, what happens to electrons when they move from the large diameter wire into the smaller diameter wire? Does their drift speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the drift speed change, what is the role the force that causes the change? Explain your reasoning.

If you carry out the integral of the electric field S for a closedpath like that shown in Fig. Q23.9, the integral will alwaysbe equal to zero, independent of the shape of the path and independent of where charges may be located relative to the path. Explain why
