Concept explainers
A solenoid is near a piece of iron, as shown in Figure P24.43. When a current is present in the solenoid, a magnetic field is created. This magnetic field will magnetize the iron, and there will be a net force between the solenoid and the iron.
a. Make a sketch showing the direction of the magnetic field from the solenoid. On your sketch, label the induced north magnetic pole and the induced south magnetic pole in the iron.
b. Will the force on the iron be attractive or repulsive?
c. Suppose this force moves the iron. Which way will the iron move?

- Figure P31.13 shows a uniform magnetic field. a. Can you find a (nonzero area) loop through which the magnetic flux is zero? If so, draw the loop and the field. If not, explain why not. b. Can you find a loop through which the magnetic flux is nonzero? If so, draw the loop and the field. If not, explain why not.arrow_forwardFigure P30.11 shows three configurations of wires and the resultant magnetic fields due to current in the wires. What is the direction of the current that gives the resultant magnetic field shown in each case?arrow_forwardA uniform magnetic field B=5.44104iT passes through a closed surface with a slanted top as shown in Figure P31.59. a.

- One common type of cosmic ray is a proton traveling at close to the speed of light. If the proton is traveling downward, as shown in Figure P30.14, at a speed of 1.00 107 m/s, what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point B?arrow_forwardA metal rod of mass M and length L is pivoted about a hinge at point O as shown in Figure P32.80. The axis of rotation passes through O into the page. A constant magnetic field B is applied into the page. Find the ratio of the maximum electric field inside the rod to the applied magnetic field when the rod is rotated with angular speed . Assume the speed of the rod is determined by the linear speed of its center of mass, and its mass is uniformly distributed.

(a) How can a magnetic field slow the spinning of a disk? (b) Would the brakes work if the disk was made of plastic instead of metal?arrow_forward
- An electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed of 6.0107 m/s, in a direction perpendicular to Earth's field, which has a strength of 5.0105 T. (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the election moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a collection,)arrow_forward(a) Is it possible for the magnetic force on a charge moving in a magnetic field to be zero? (b) Is it possible for the electric force on a charge moving in an electric field to be zero? (c) Is it possible for the resultant of the electric and magnetic forces on a charge moving simultaneously through both fields to be zero?arrow_forwardA 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?

(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.arrow_forward
