- The force on a magnetic moment z in a nonuniform magnetic field Bz is given by Fz=zdBzdz If a beam of silver atoms travels a horizontal distance of 1 m through such a field and each atom has a speed of 100 m/s, how strong must the field gradient dBz/dz be in order to deflect the beam 1 mm?arrow_forwardOn what factors does the orbital magnetic dipole moment of an electron depend?arrow_forwardShow that U=B . (Hint: An infinitesimal amount of work is done to align the magnetic moment with the external field. This work rotates the magnetic moment vector through an angle - d(toward the positive z-direction), where d is a positive angle change.)arrow_forward

Is the line integral of the magneticfield positive, negative, or zero for an Ampèrian path going(a) clockwise around the origin in the xy plane when viewedlooking down from the positive z axis, (b) clockwise around theorigin in the yz plane when viewed looking from the positivex axis, and (c) clockwise around the origin in the xz plane whenviewed looking from the positive y axis? ⦁arrow_forwardFind the minimum torque magnitude that acts on the orbital magnetic dipole of a 3p electron in an external magnetic field of 2.50 × 10-3 T.arrow_forwardWhat are the possible polar orientations of the spin momentum vector for an electron?arrow_forward

- What angles can the spin S of an electron make with the z -axis?arrow_forwardA magnetic field is applied to a freely floating uniform iron sphere with radius R = 2.00 mm. The sphere initially had no net magnetic moment, but the field aligns 12% of the magnetic moments of the atoms (that is, 12% of the magnetic moments of the loosely bound electrons in the sphere, with one such electron per atom). The magnetic moment of those aligned electrons is the sphere’s intrinsic magnetic moment .What is the sphere’s resulting angular speed v?arrow_forwardSuppose that a hydrogen atom in its ground state moves 80 cm through and perpendicular to a vertical magnetic field that has a magnetic field gradient dB/dz = 1.6 * 102 T/m.
