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?
Hi please help: A single current-carrying circular loop of radius R is placed next to a long, straight wire, as shown below. The current in the wire points to the right and is of magnitude I. In which direction must the current flow in the loop to produce zero magnetic field at its center? Explain
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?
pls help me with the following question and make sure is 100% correct, pls and thank you A long wire carrying I� = 6.95 AA of current makes two bends, as shown in (Figure 1). The bent part of the wire passes through a uniform 0.290 TT magnetic field directed as shown in the figure and confined to a limited region of space. Part A. Find the magnitude of the force that the magnetic field exerts on the wire. Express your answer in newtons. Part B Find the direction of the force that the magnetic field exerts on the wire. Give your answer as a clockwise angle in degrees from the left-hand straight segment.
A long hairpin is formed by bending a very long wire, as shown. a) If the wire caries a current of 12 A, what is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the point a? Take R = 6 mm. Take the sign of B to be positive if the direction is out of the paper and negative if B is into the paper. You need to enter the number with its sign and a space and the unit. b)What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the midpoint b? The distance between a and b are much larger than R (each straight section is "infinite"). Take the sign of B to be positive if the direction is out of the paper and negative if B is into the paper.
