- Solenoid A has length L and N turns, solenoid B has length 2L and N turns, and solenoid C has length L/2 and 2N turns. If each solenoid carries the same current, rank the magnitudes of the magnetic fields in the centers of the solenoids from largest to smallest.arrow_forwardHow many turns must be wound on a flat, circular coil of radius 20 cm in order to produce a magnetic field of magnitude 4.0105 T at the center of the coil when the current through it is 0.85 A?arrow_forwardA wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.00 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.390 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the angle between the magnetic field and the current is (a) 60.0, (b) 90.0, and (c) 120.arrow_forward
- An election moves through a uniform electric field E = (2.50i + 5.00j) V/m and a uniform magnetic field B = 0.400k T. Determine the acceleration of the electron when it has a velocity v = 10.0i m/s.arrow_forwardA circular coil of radius 5.0 cm is wound with five turns and carries a current of 5.0 A. If the coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength 5.0 T, what is the maximum torque on it?arrow_forwardA proton (charge +e, mass mp), a deuteron (charge +e, mass 2mp), and an alpha particle (charge +2e, mass 4mp) are accelerated from rest through a common potential difference V. Each of the particles enters a uniform magnetic field B, with its velocity in a direction perpendicular to B. The proton moves in a circular path of radius p. In terms of p, determine (a) the radius rd of the circular orbit for the deuteron and (b) the radius r for the alpha particle.arrow_forward
- Two long coaxial copper tubes, each of length L, are connected to a battery of voltage V. The inner tube has inner radius o and outer radius b, and the outer tube has inner radius c and outer radius d. The tubes are then disconnected from the battery and rotated in the same direction at angular speed of radians per second about their common axis. Find the magnetic field (a) at a point inside the space enclosed by the inner tube r d. (Hint: Hunk of copper tubes as a capacitor and find the charge density based on the voltage applied, Q=VC, C=20LIn(c/b) .)arrow_forwardIn Figure 30.7, assume I1 = 2.00 A ami I2 = 6.00 A. What is the relationship between the magnitude F1, of the force exerted on wire 1 and the magnitude of the force exerted on wire F2? (a) F1= 6F2 (b) F1 = 3F2, (c) F1, = F2 (d) F1 = F2 (e) F1 = 16F2. The field B2, duo lo the current in wire 2 exerts a magnetic force of magnitude F1 = I1B2, on wire I. Figure 30.7 Two parallel wires that each carry a steady current exert a magnetic force on each other. The force is attractive if the currents are parallel (as shown) and repulsive if the currents are antiparallel.arrow_forwardIn Figure P22.43, the current in the long, straight wire is I1 = 5.00 A and the wire lies in the plane of the rectangular loop, which carries a current I2 = 10.0 A. The dimensions in the figure are c = 0.100 m, a = 0.150 m, and = 0.450 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted on the loop by the magnetic field created by the wire.
