A wire with a weight per unit length of 0.080 N/m is suspended directly above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 30.0 A, and the bottom wire carries a current of 60.0 A. Find the distance of separation between the wires so that the top wire will be held in place by magnetic repulsion.
Review. The upper portion of the circuit in Figure P29.61 m fixed. The horizontal wire at the bottom has a mass of 10.0 g and is 5.00 cm long. This wire hangs in the gravitational field of the Earth from identical light springs connected to the upper portion of the circuit. The springs stretch 0.500 cm under the weight of the wire, and the circuit has a total resistance of 12.0 . When a magnetic field is turned on. directed out of the page, the springs stretch an additional 0.300 cm. Only the horizontal wire at the bottom of the circuit is in the magnetic field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
A bar magnet falls under the influence of gravity along the axis of a long copper tube. If air resistance is negligible, will there be a force to oppose the descent of the magnet? If so, will the magnet reach a terminal velocity?
A flip coil is a relatively simple device used to measure a magnetic field, It consists of a circular coil of N turns wound with fine conducting wire. The coil is attached to a ballistic galvanometer, a device that measures the total charge that passes through it. The coil is placed in a magnetic field B such that its face is perpendicular to the field. It is then flipped through 180°, and tire total charge Q that flows through the galvanometer is measured. (a) If the total resistance of tire coil and galvanometer Is R, what is the relationship between B and Q? Because the coil is very small, you can assume that Bis uniform over it. (b) How can you determine whether or not tire magnetic field is perpendicular to the face of the coil?
