A rectangular loop has dimensions 0.500 m by 0.300 m. The loop is hinged along the x-axis and lies in the xy-plane (Fig. P19.42). A uniform magnetic field of 1.50 T is directed at an angle of 40.0 with respect to the positive y-axis and lies parallel everywhere to the yz-plane. The loop carries a current of 0.900 A in the direction shown. (Ignore gravitation.) (a) In what direction is magnetic force exerted on wire segment ab? What is the direction of the magnetic torque associated with this force, as computed with respect to the x-axis? (b) What is the direction of the magnetic force exerted on segment cd? What is the direction of the magnetic torque associated with this force, again computed with respect to the x-axis? (c) Can the forces examined in parts (a) and (b) combine to cause the loop to rotate around the x-axis? Can they affect the motion of the loop in any way? Explain. (d) What is the direction (in the yz-plane) of the magnetic force exerted on segment bc? Measuring torques with respect to the x-axis, what is the direction of the torque exerted by the force on segment bc? (e) Looking toward the origin along the positive x-axis. Will the loop rotate clockwise or counterclockwise? (f) Compute the magnitude of the magnetic moment of the loop. (g) What is the angle between the magnetic moment vector and the magnetic field? (h) Compute the torque on the loop using the values found for the magnetic moment and magnetic field. Figure P19.42
Why is the following situation impossible? The magnitude of the Earths magnetic field at either pole is approximately 7.0 105 T. Suppose the field fades away to zero before its next reversal. Several scientists propose plans for artificially generating a replacement magnetic field to assist with devices that depend on the presence of the field. The plan that is selected is to lay a copper wire around the equator and supply it with a current that would generate a magnetic field of magnitude 7.00 105 T at the poles. (Ignore magnetization of any materials inside the Earth.) The plan is implemented and is highly successful.
An astronaut is connected to her spacecraft by a 25-m-long tether cord as she and the spacecraft orbit Earth in a circular path at a speed of 3.0 105 m/s. At one instant, the voltage measured between the ends of a wire embedded in the cord is measured to be 0.45 V. Assume the long dimension of the cord is perpendicular to the vertical component of Earths magnetic field at that instant. (a) What is the magnitude of the vertical component of Earths field at this location? (b) Does the measured voltage change as the system moves from one location to another? Explain.

You are working for a company that creates special magnetic environments. Your new supervisor has come from the financial side of the organization rather than the technical side. He has promised a client that the company can provide a device that will create a magnetic field inside a cylindrical chamber that is directed along the cylinder axis at all points in the chamber and increases in the axial direction as the square of the value of y, where y is the in the axial direction and y = 0 is at the bottom end of the cylinder. Prepare a calculation to show that the field requested by your supervisor and promised to a client is impossible.
A particle with electric charge is fired into a region of space where the electric field is zero. It moves in a straight line. Can you conclude that the magnetic field in that region is zero? (a) Yes, you can. (b) No; the field might be perpendicular to the particles velocity. (c) No; the field might be parallel to the particles velocity. (d) No; the particle might need to have charge of the opposite sign to have a force exerted on it. (e) No; an observation of an object with electric charge gives no information about a magnetic field.
A circular coil of five turns and a diameter of 30.0 cm is oriented in a vertical plane with its axis perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earths magnetic field. A horizontal compass placed at the coils center is made to deflect 45.0 from magnetic north by a current of 0.600 A in the coil. (a) What is the horizontal component of the Earths magnetic field? (b) The current in the coil is switched off. A dip needle is a magnetic compass mounted so that it can rotate in a vertical north-south plane. At this location, a dip needle makes an angle of 13.0s from the vertical. What is the total magnitude of the Earths magnetic field at this location?
Construct Your Own Problem Consider using the torque on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field to detect relatively small magnetic fields (less than the field of the Earth, for example). Construct a problem in which you calculate the maximum torque on a current- carrying loop in a magnetic field. Among the things to be considered are the size of the coil, the number of loops it has, the current you pass through the coil, and the size of the field you wish to detect. Discuss whether the torque produced is large enough to be effectively measured. Your instructor may also wish for you to consider the effects, if any, of the field produced by the coil on the surroundings that could affect detection of the small field.
Unreasonable Results A surveyor 100 m from a long straight 200-kV DC power line suspects that its magnetic field may equal that of the Earth and affect compass readings.
