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.)
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.
Unreasonable results A charged particle having mass 6.641027kg (that of a helium atom) moving at 8.70105m/s perpendicular to a 1.50-T magnetic field travels in a circular path of radius 16.0 mm. (a) What is the charge of the particle? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?
A very large parallel-plate capacitor has uniform charge per unit area + on the upper plate and on the lower plate. The plates are horizontal, and both move horizontally with speed v to the right. (a) What is the magnetic field between the plates? (b) What is the magnetic field just above or just below the plates? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force per unit area on the upper plate? (d) At what extrapolated speed v will the magnetic force on a plate balance the electric force on the plate? Suggestion: Use Amperes law and choose a path that closes between the plates of the capacitor.
(a) A 0.750-m-long section of cable carrying current to a car starter motor makes an angle of GOP with Earth's 5.5105T field. What is the current when tire wire experiences a farce of 7.010N? (b) If you run the wire between the poles of a strong horseshoe magnet, subjecting 5.00 cm of it to a 1.75-T field, what force is exerted on this segment of wire?
The magnetic field at all points within the cylindrical region whose cross-section is indicated in the accompanying figure starts at 1.0 T and decreases uniformly to zero in 20 s. What is the electric field (both magnitude and direction) as a function of r, the distance from the geometric center of the region?
A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.50106m/s perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is 1.00105T. What is the radius of the circular pain the electron follows?
(a) An oxygen16 ion with a mass at 2.661026kg travels at 5.00106m/s perpendicular to a 1.20T magnetic field, which makes it move in a circular arc with a 0.231-m radius. What positive charge is on the ion? (b) What is the radio of this charge to the charge of an electron? (c) Discuss why the radio found in (b) should be an integer.
Suppose you install a compass on the center of a cars dashboard. (a) Assuming the dashboard is made mostly of plastic, compute an order-of-magnitude estimate for the magnetic field at this location produced by the current when you switch on the cars headlights. (b) How does this estimate compare with the Earths magnetic field?
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.

(a) A 0.750-m-long section of cable carrying current to a car starter motor makes an angle at 60° with the Earth’s 5.00105-T field. What is the current when the wire experiences a force of 7.00103N ? (b) If you run the wire between the poles of a strong horseshoe magnet, subjecting 5.00 cm of it to a 1.75T field, what force is exerted on this segment of wire?
