Which of the following are true statements about magnetic field lines A small compass will point in the direction of the field line. Magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end. Magnetic field lines can never cross, meaning that the field is unique at any point in space. The direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the field line at any point in space.

The following statements are related to the force of a magnetic field on a current-carrying wire. Indicate whether each statement is true (T) or false (F). (a) The magnetic force on the wire is independent of the direction of the current. (b) The force on the wire is directed perpendicular to both the wire and the magnetic field. (c) The force takes its largest value when the magnetic field is parallel to the wire.
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?
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.

As seen in previous chapters, any object with electric charge, stationary or moving, other than the charged object that created the field, experiences a force in an electric field. Also, any object with electric charge, stationary or moving, can create an electric field (Chapter 22). Similarly, an electric current or a moving electric charge, other than the current or charge that created the field, experiences a force in a magnetic field (Chapter 28), and an electric current creates a magnetic field (Section 29.1). (a) To understand how a moving charge can also create a magnetic field, consider a particle with charge q moving with velocity v. Define the position vector r=rr leading from the particle to some location. Show that the magnetic field at that location is B=04qvrr2 (b) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field 1.00 mm to the side of a proton moving at 2.00 107 m/s. (c) Find the magnetic force on a second proton at this point, moving with the same speed in the opposite direction. (d) Find the electric force on the second proton.

What force is exerted on the water in an MHD drive utilizing a 25.0-cm-diameter tube, it 100-A current is passed across the tube that is perpendicular to a 2.00T magnetic field? (The relatively small size of this force indicates the need for very large currents and magnetic fields to make practical MHD drives.)
