How to use two magnetic rods to identify the unmagnetized rod.
Answer to Problem 1QAP
Keep one rod in the middle and approach other two rods from the both ends of the middle one. And then turn around the 2 rods which are approaching from the ends to change the end that reach the middle one. Do it repetitively changing the middle rod to one another until you find the rod that is in the middle which attracts the two approaching rods even if they are turned around.
Explanation of Solution
Magnetic rods attract unmagnetized iron rods. Magnetic rods attract each other if they are aligned in a way that two opposite poles of the rods meet each other. If the same poles of two magnetic rods are aligned, they repel each other.
When one rod is placed in the middle, if that is a magnet, it will attract the approaching unmagnetized rod regardless of the end of the unmagnetized rod. But the approaching magnetized rod from the other side will be attracted to the middle one in one orientation (only one pole), if it is turned around, it will be repelled.
If the middle one is unmagnetized rod, it will attract to the two magnets that are approaching from the two ends regardless of the orientation of the approaching rods.
Conclusion:
Unmagnetized rod can be determined by the property of magnets. Magnets repel each other when they are oriented in same poles and attract each other when they are oriented to meet the opposite poles. Unmagnetized iron rods attract to both poles of magnets.

- Four different proton velocities are given. For each case, determine the magnetic force on the proton in terms of e, v0and B0.arrow_forwardA charged particle is traveling through a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements are true of the magnetic field? There may be more than one correct statement. (a) It exerts a force on the particle parallel to the field. (b) It exerts a force on the particle along the direction of its motion. (c) It increases the kinetic energy of the particle. (d) It exerts a force that is perpendicular to the direction of motion. (e) It does not change the magnitude of the momentum of the particle.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider a mass separator that applies a magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of ions and separates the ions based on the radius of curvature of their paths in the field. Construct a problem in which you calculate the magnetic field strength needed to separate two ions that differ in mass, but not charge, and have the same initial velocity. Among the things to consider are the types of ions, the velocities they can be given before entering the magnetic field, and a reasonable value for the radius of curvature of the paths they follow. In addition, calculate the separation distance between the ions at the point where they are detected.arrow_forward

(i) The force is proportional to the magnitude of the field exerting it. (ii) The force is proportional to the magnitude of the charge of the object on which the force is exerted. (iii) The force exerted on a negatively charged object is opposite in direction to the force on a positive charge. (iv) The force exerted on a stationary charged object is nonzero. (v) The force exerted on a moving charged object is zero. (vi) The force exerted on a charged object is proportional to its speed.

- A particle with electric charge is fired into a region of space where the electric field is zero. It moves in a straight line. Can you conclude that the magnetic field in that region is zero? (a) Yes, you can. (b) No; the field might be perpendicular to the particles velocity. (c) No; the field might be parallel to the particles velocity. (d) No; the particle might need to have charge of the opposite sign to have a force exerted on it.
