A magnetic compass has its needle, of mass 0.050 kg and length 4.0 cm, aligned with the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field at a place where that component has the value Bh = 16 µT. After the compass is given a momentary gentle shake, the needle oscillates with angular frequency ω= 45 rad/s.Assuming that the needle is a uniform thin rod mounted at its center, find the magnitude of its magnetic dipole moment.

- A magnetic field directed into the page changes with time according to B = 0.030 0t2 + 1.40, where B is in teslas and t is in seconds. The field has a circular cross section of radius R = 2.50 cm (see Fig. P23.28). When t = 3.00 s and r2 = 0.020 0 m, what are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the electric field at point P2?arrow_forwardA circular coil 15.0 cm in radius and composed of 145 tightly wound turns carries a current of 2.50 A in the counterclockwise direction, where the plane of the coil makes an angle of 15.0 with the y axis (Fig. P30.73). The coil is free to rotate about the z axis and is placed in a region with a uniform magnetic field given by B=1.35jT. a. What is the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil? b.

A uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitude B is applied perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The applied force shown in the figure acts only for a moment, to give die rod a speed v. In terms of m, l, R, B, and v, find the distance the rod will then slide as it coasts to a stop.arrow_forward

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.

When t = 2.00 s, calculate (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the force exerted on an electron located at point P1, which is at a distance r1 = 5.00 cm from the center of the circular field region.

- The homopolar generator, also called the Faraday disk, is a low-voltage, high-current electric generator. It consists of a rotating conducting disk with one stationary brush (a sliding electrical contact) at its axle and another at a point on its circumference as shown in Figure P23.21. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the disk. Assume the field is 0.900 T, the angular speed is 3.20 103 rev/min, and the radius of the disk is 0.400 m. Find the emf generated between the brushes. When superconducting coils are used to produce a large magnetic field, a homopolar generator can have a power output of several megawatts. Such a generator is useful, for example, in purifying metals by electrolysis. If a voltage is applied to the output terminals of the generator, it runs in reverse as a homopolar motor capable of providing great torque, useful in ship propulsion.arrow_forwardA magnetic field exerts a torque on each of the current carrying single loops of wire shown in Figure OQ22.12. The loops lie in the xy plane, each carrying the same magnitude current, and the uniform magnetic field points in the positive x direction.
