For the permanent magnet shown below, draw its magnetic field lines both inside and outside of the magnet.. N S What happens to the North and South poles if you break the magnet in half? Label the appropriate North and South ends for each half. What if you break each piece in half again? And again and again, until you get to what the Greek Atomists called 'the indivisible', or 'the atom'?

Volcanic and other such activity at the mid-Athletic ridge extrudes material to fill the gap between separating tectonic plates associated with continental drift. The magnetization of rocks is found to reverse in a coordinated manner with distance from the ridge. What does this imply about the Earth's magnetic field and how could the knowledge of the spreading rate he used to give its historical record?
Why do iron filings show magnetic field patterns?
What is the maximum force on an aluminum rod with a 0.100C charge that you pass between the poles of a 1.50T permanent magnet at a speed of 5.00 m/s? In what direction is the force?
While operating, a high-precision TV monitor is placed on its side during maintenance. The image on the monitor changes color and blurs slightly. Discuss the possible relation of these effects to the Earth’s magnetic field.
At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 104 T, pointing 75 below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A 10.0-m-long straight wire carries a 15-A current, (a) If the current is directed horizontally toward the east, what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on tile wire? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force if the current is directed vertically upward?
Explain why the magnetic field would not be unique (that is, not have a single value) at a point in space where magnetic field lines might cross. (Consider the direction of the field at such a point.)
Consider the two parallel wires carrying currents in opposite directions in Figure OQ3G.9. Due to the magnetic interaction between the wires, does the lower wire experience a magnetic force that is (a) upward, (b) downward, (c) to the left, (d) to the right, or (e) into the paper?
What creates a magnetic Hold? More than one answer may be correct, (a) a stationary object with electric charge (b) a moving object with electric charge (c) a stationary conductor carrying electric current (d) a difference in electric potential (e) a charged capacitor disconnected from a battery and at rest Note: In Chapter 34, we will see that a changing electric field also creates a magnetic field.
Earth’s magnetic field lines are not parallel to its surface except in certain places: they actually 44dip” downward at some angle to the ground. (An ordinary compass does not show this.) (a) At what places on Earth would the magnetic dip” be the greatest? (b) Where on Earth would the dip be zero?
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.
The right-hand rule is a way to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by moving charges. Imagine wrapping your right hand around the path of the charges so that the positive charges (or the current) flow from the little finger side of your fist to the thumb side (Figure 8.53). Then your fingers circle the path in the same direction as the magnetic field lines. Use this rule to verify the directions of the magnetic fields shown in Figures 8.8 and 8.10. How would you use the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field lines around a moving negative charge?
How can the motion of a charged particle be used to distinguish between a magnetic and an electric field?
