Explain the difference between a magnetic field and a magnetic flux.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
The magnetic flux is defined as the number of magnetic lines of force that passes through the any surface area in magnetic field. It is denoted by phi
The magnetic field is defined as the magnetic flux that passes through the unit surface area of body. It is denoted by
Conclusion:
Therefore, the magnetic field is the strength of the field and the flux is the amount of field that passes through unit area.

- An electron and a proton move with the same speed in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. Compare the radii and periods of their orbits.arrow_forwardCan a constant magnetic field set into motion an electron initially at rest? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA circuit with current I has two long parallel wire sections that carry current in opposite directions. Find magnetic field at a point P near these wires that is a distance a from one wire and b from the other wire as shown in the figure.arrow_forward
- Around the geographic North Pole (or magnetic South Pole), Earth’s magnetic field is almost vertical. If an airplane is flying northward in this region, which side of the wing is positively charged and which is negatively charged?arrow_forwardA transmission line strung 7.0 m above the ground carries a current of 500 A. What is the magnetic field on the ground directly below the wire? Compare your' answer with the magnetic field of Earth.arrow_forwardAt a given instant, an electron and a proton are moving with the same velocity in a constant magnetic field. Compare the magnetic forces on these particles. Compare their accelerations.arrow_forward
- Certain experiments must be performed in the absence of any magnetic fields. Suppose such an experiment is located at the center of a large solenoid oriented so that a current of I = 1.00 A produces a magnetic field that exactly cancels Earths 3.50 105 T magnetic field. Find the solenoids number of turns per meter.arrow_forwardRepeat the previous problem with a new magnetic field of (0.4i+1.2k)T .arrow_forwardWhat is the direction of the magnetic force on the current in earth of the six cases in Figure 22.53?arrow_forward
- If you cut a bar magnet into two pieces, will you end up with one magnet with an isolated north pole and another magnet with an isolated south pole? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhat 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.arrow_forwardThe quantity B ds in Amperes law is called magnetic circulation. Figures 30.10 and 30.13 slum paths around which the magnetic circulation is evaluated. Each of these paths encloses an area. What is the magnetic flux through each area? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
