Consider a capacitor with vacuum between its large, closely spaced, oppositely charged parallel plates. (a) Show that the force on one plate can be accounted for by thinking of the electric field between the plates as exerting a “negative pressure” equal to the energy density of the electricfield. (b) Consider two infinite plane sheets carrying electric currents in opposite directions with equal linear current densities Js. Calculate the force per area acting on one sheet due to the magnetic field, of magnitude μ0Js /2, created by the other sheet. (c) Calculate the net magnetic field between the sheets and the field outside of the volume between them. (d) Calculate the energy density in the magnetic field between the sheets. (e) Show that the force on one sheet can be accounted for by thinking of the magnetic field between the sheets as exerting a positive pressure equal to its energy density. This result for magnetic pressure applies to all currentconfigurations, not only to sheets of…
a) What would the Hall voltage be (in µV) if a 2.40 T field is applied across a 13-gauge copper wire (1.829 mm in diameter) carrying a 22.0 A current? (Assume the free charge density of copper is 8.342 ✕ 1028 e−/m3.) b)A mirror hangs 1.62 m above the floor on a vertical wall. A ray of sunlight, reflected off the mirror, forms a spot on the floor 1.12 m from the wall. Later in the day, the spot has moved to a point 2.50 m from the wall. What is the change in the angle of elevation of the Sun, between the two observations? c)Components of some computers communicate with each other through optical fibers having an index of refraction n = 1.45. What time in nanoseconds is required for a signal to travel 0.180 m through such a fiber?
a.Find H in rectangular components at P(3,4,2) If there is a current filament on the z axis carrying 5 mA in the az direction. b. Repeat if the filament is located at x = -1, y = 2. (c) c. Find H if both filaments are present.
