A.
A wire is connected to batteries (not shown), and current flows through the wire. The wire lies flat on a table, and you are looking down on it from above. The wire is laid on top of a compass, resting about
6 mm above the needle. The distance d is 5.5 cm. The compass needle deflects 11 degrees from North, as shown. At this location the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is 2e-5 tesla.
What is the direction of the magnetic field at location A, midway between the wires, due to the current in the wire?
Out of the page
What is the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at location A, due to the current in the wire?
|B|
= 3.88e-6 × T
What approximations or assumptions did you make in solving this problem?
Assume one side of the wire is much longer than d
Assume that at the location of the compass the effect of the distant wire is negligible
Assume the Earth's magnetic field is negligible
Assume the bent end of the wire is far from location A
The earth's magnetic field, with a magnetic dipole
moment of 8.0 x 1022 A m², is generated by
currents within the molten iron of the earth's outer
core. Suppose we model the core current as a
3000-km-diameter current loop made from a
1000-km-diameter "wire." The loop diameter is
measured from the centers of this very fat wire.

n the Figure, a wire is bent into the shape of a straight wire and a circle, with a circular loop of radius R = 2.8 cm and two long straight sections. The loop center coincides with the origin of the coordinate system as shown. The straight sections are parallel to x-axis. The wire carries a I = 2.8 A current, as shown. Calculate the magnitude and the direction (into or out of the page) of the magnetic field at the origin. (Choose out of the page as the positive z-direction and express the magnetic field by using the sign of the result, which must be in multiples of 10 -5 Teslas and include 2 digit after the decimal point. That means if you get a result of a 9.22 x 10 -5 and the direction of the field is out of the page, just type 9.22 or if you find the direction of the field as into the page, just tpe -9.22 in the answer box. Maximum of 5% of error accepted in your answer. Take vacuum permeability µ 0 = 4π x 10 -7 T /A 2 and π=3.14.)
