In a region of space, a magnetic field is uniform over space but increases at a constant rate. This changing magnetic field induces an electric field that (a) increases in time, (b) is conservative, (c) is in the direction of the magnetic field, or (d) has a constant magnitude.
Nonnuclear submarines use batteries for power when submerged. (a) Find the magnetic field 50.0 cm from a straight wire carrying 1200 A from me batteries to the drive mechanism of a submarine. (b) What is the field if the wires to and from the drive mechanism are side by side? (c) Discuss the effects this could have for a compass on the submarine that is not shielded.
Electrons in Earths upper atmosphere have typical speeds near 6.00 105 m/s. (a) Calculate the magnitude of Earths magnetic field if an electrons velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field and its circular path has a radius of 7.00 102 m. (b) Calculate the number of times per second that an electron circles around a magnetic field line.
Certain experiments must be performed in the absence of any magnetic fields. Suppose such an experiment is located at the center of a large solenoid oriented so that a current of I = 1.00 A produces a magnetic field that exactly cancels Earths 3.50 105 T magnetic field. Find the solenoids number of turns per meter.
Can a constant magnetic field set into motion an electron initially at rest? Explain your answer.
A proton of speed v=6105m/s enters a region of uniform magnetic field of B = 0.5 T at an angle of q = 30° to the magnetic field. In the region of magnetic field proton describes a helical path with radius R and pitch p (distance between loops.) Find R and p.
The current in a long solenoid of radius 3 cm and 20 turns cm is varied with time at a rate of 2 A/s. Find the electric field at a distance of 4 cm from die center of the solenoid.
A charged particle moves in a straight line through a region of space. Which of the following answers must be true? (Assume any other fields are negligible.) The magnetic field (a) has a magnitude of zero (b) has a zero component perpendicular to the particles velocity (c) hits a zero component parallel to the particles velocity in that region.
The Earths Van Allen belts (Fig. 30.34) are a natural magnetic bottle, trapping cosmic rays that spiral back and forth between the North and South Poles. Use the shape of a cosmic rays path to describe the variation in the magnetic field strength.
A particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.
Show that the magnetic field of a thin wire and that of a current loop are zero if you are infinitelv far away.
If a cosmic ray proton approaches the Earth from outer space along a line toward the center of the Earth that lies in the plane of the equator, in what direction will it be deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field? What about an electron? A neutron?
