Question
An infinitely long wire carries a current of I = 150 A.
Randomized Variables
I = 150 A
Part (a) Consider a circle with a radius r and centered on the wire. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field B at points along the circle in terms of I and r.
Part (b) If r = 0.14 m, calculate the numerical value of B in tesla.

Assume that the magnetic field in the mass spectrometer is caused by a large solenoid with a radius 54 cm, that is 0.6 m long and made up of 5900 loops. If a 9 T magnetic field is needed to detect a certain compound, how much current needs to be run through the coils of the solenoid? 7.28×102 A 6.56×102 A 1.21×103 A 2.43×107 A 1.11×103 Aarrow_forwardA pellet which holds a charge of 10 coulombs is moving upwards (+Y) and driven by an electric field in the same direction with a magnitude of 50 V/m. There is a magnetic field with a magnitude of 25 Tesla’s pointing downwards (-Y). How fast does the pellet need to be going for the magnetic force to cancel the electric force?

You have a device that can measure the strength of the magnetic field produced by the wire, but the device does not directly measure the current. If the device is place 2.4m away from the wire, and the magnetic field strength is 0.22μT, what is the current running through the wire in Amps?arrow_forward
