Two current-carrying loops are identical, except for the direction of the magnetic field in their vicinity. The magnetic field at loop 1 is parallel to the plane of the loop, and the magnetic field at loop 2 is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Is the magnetic torque exerted on loop 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the magnetic torque exerted on loop 2? Explain.

- A packed bundle of 100 long, straight, insulated wires forms a cylinder of radius R = 0.500 cm. If each wire carries 2.00 A, what are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the magnetic force per unit length acting on a wire located 0.200 cm from the center of the bundle? (c) What If? Would a wire on the outer edge of the bundle experience a force greater or smaller than the value calculated in parts (a) and (b)? Give a qualitative argument for your answer.arrow_forwardTwo long, parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction (Fig. OQ22.5). Is the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires (a) zero, (b) directed into the page, (c) directed out of the page, (d) directed to the left, or (e) directed to the right?

Use the indicated coordinate system to write your answer in component form. FIGURE P30.18arrow_forwardA proton moving horizontally enters a region where a uniform magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the proton's velocity as shown in Figure OQ29.4. After the proton enters the field, does it (a) deflect downward, with its speed remaining constant; (b) deflect upward, moving in a semicircular path with constant speed, and exit the field moving to the left; (c) continue to move in the horizontal direction with constant velocity; (d) move in a circular orbit and become trapped by the field; or (e) deflect out of the plane of the paper?arrow_forwardA circular loop of wire is held in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the loop perpendicular to the field lines.

- A thin, nonconducting disk of radius R is free to rotate around the axis that passes through its center and is perpendicular to the face of the disk. The disk is charged uniformly with a total charge q. If the disk rotates at a constant angular velocity , what is tire magnetic field at its center?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? Figure P28.46 shows an experimental technique for altering the direction of travel for a charged particle. A particle of charge q = 1.00 C and mass m = 2.00 1015 kg enters the bottom of the region of uniform magnetic field at speed = 2.00 105 m/s, with a velocity vector perpendicular to the field lines. The magnetic force on the particle causes its direction of travel to change so that it leaves the region of the magnetic field at the top traveling at an angle from its original direction. The magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.400 T and is directed out of the page. The length h of the magnetic field region is 0.110 m. An experimenter performs the technique and measures the angle at which the particles exit the top of the field. She finds that the angles of deviation are exactly as predicted.

(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?arrow_forward
