PROBLEM 1.
A steady current / flows
throughout the circuit shown below, consisting of
two straight, semi-infinite lengths of wire joined
by a semicircular piece (radius a). The entire
circuit lies in a plane. Choose an appropriate
coordinate system and calculate the magnetic
field B at the point P, which is at the center of the
semicircle in the plane of the circuit. Be sure to indicate on the drawing your choice of coordinate
system.
(Hint: Break the problem into pieces, find the contribution to the magnetic field from each piece
and then add those together.]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/3a050f58-3c18-44b0-9763-4c7e08a890f5/ec36eed3-256f-4eb4-bc53-d9b77f52f480/gyn162n_thumbnail.jpeg)

- In the diagram at right, an uncharged conducting bar is moving with constant velocity v to the left through a region where there is a uniform magnetic field pointing out of the page. What charge distribution will the bar have, as a result of its motion? B out of page The bottom of the bar will have positive charge, and the top of the bar will have negative charge. The bar will remain electrically neutral at all points. The top of the bar will have positive charge, and the bottom of the bar will have negative charge. The right side of the bar will have positive charge, and the left side of the bar will have negative charge. The bar will gain a net positive charge, distributed uniformly along its length. The bar will gain a net negative charge, distributed uniformly along its length, The left side of the bar will have positive charge, and the right side of the bar will have negative charge.arrow_forwardShow Work Please (Q8)arrow_forwardPlease show work.
