At a point P on the center axis of a magnetic field created by a sufficiently long solenoid, we divide the magnetic field strength vector into a circular loop of the solenoid coil as shown below to add all the magnetic fields they create. (Let's simplify to continuous which isn't continuous). Complete this task to show that the magnetic field strength is "first image"at P point.
The arrangement illustrated in the figure below is composed of six finite straight wires of length l. The electric current flowing in such an arrangement is i. Using the Biot-Savart law, calculate: The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P due to the wire located along segment ab.The answer is in the second image. I am trying to use the standard biot-savart, which is B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and it always gives me 16*pi*l at the denominator, instead of 8pi*l. Solve it using B = (μ0*I/4π) * ∫dl * sinθ / r^2, and note that the image with the answer is correct.
As shown below, a square loop of wire of side a moves through a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B perpendicular to the page at constant velocity, vector v, directed to the right. Which statement regarding the electric field induced in the wires is correct for the wires at the left and right sides of the loop? (Hint: Be careful of what is being asked here. I am not asking for the direction of current.)
The problem is described in the attached image. It's regarding the calculation of the force due to a magnetic field over a conducting ring. I can calculate most of the problem. The force is basically: F = I * B * 2 * PI * R * SIN(X), where X is the angle between the magnetic field vector, and the vector with the direction of the electric current. Now, how do I calculate this angle? I've seen an answer that uses theta (provided by the exercise) as X, but why would theta be the angle between those two vectors, if it's only the angle between the magnetic vector and the vertical axis?
Describe the field lines of the induced magnetic field along the edge of the imaginary horizontal cylinder shown below if the cylinder is in a spatially uniform electric field that is horizontal, pointing to the right, and increasing in magnitude.
A square loop of side 2 cm is placed 1 cm from a long wire carrying a current that varies with time at a constant rate of 3 A/s as shown below. (a) Use Ampere’s law and find the magnetic field as a function of time from the current in the wire. (b) Determine the magnetic flux through the loop. (c) If the loop has a resistance of 3 how much induced current flows in the loop?
Let's consider a circular wire placed on a horizontal table between two straight, parallel, infinite wires, as shown in Homework 6 Figure 1. The center of wire 3 (P) is halfway between wires 1 and 2. If I1= 1.73 A, I2 is 3.69 times greater than I1, s = 0.35 m, and d = 1.49 m, find the value of the current running through 3 such that the magnetic field due to these three currents at point P is zero. is the current clockwise or counterclockwise?
