- Review. In studies of the possibility of migrating birds using the Earths magnetic field for navigation, birds have been fitted with coils as caps and collars as shown in Figure P22.39. (a) If the identical coils have radii of 1.20 cm and are 2.20 cm apart, with 50 turns of wire apiece, what current should they both carry to produce a magnetic field of 4.50 105 T halfway between them? (b) If the resistance of each coil is 210 V, what voltage should the battery supplying each coil have? (c) What power is delivered to each coil? Figure P22.39arrow_forwardA circular coil 15.0 cm in radius and composed of 145 tightly wound turns carries a current of 2.50 A in the counterclockwise direction, where the plane of the coil makes an angle of 15.0 with the y axis (Fig. P30.73). The coil is free to rotate about the z axis and is placed in a region with a uniform magnetic field given by B=1.35jT. a. What is the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil? b. In what direction will the coil rotate? FIGURE P30.73arrow_forwardA rectangular coil consists of N = 100 closely wrapped turns and has dimensions a = 0.400 m and b = 0.300 m. The coil is hinged along the y axis, and its plane makes an angle = 30.0 with the x axis (Fig. P22.25). (a) What is the magnitude of the torque exerted on the coil by a uniform magnetic field B = 0.800 T directed in the positive x direction when the current is I = 1.20 A in the direction shown? (b) What is the expected direction of rotation of the coil? Figure P22.25arrow_forward
- In Figure P20.65 the rolling axle of length 1.50 m is pushed along horizontal rails at a constant speed v = 3.00 m/s. A resist or R = 0.400 is connected to the rails at points a and b, directly opposite each other. (The wheels make good electrical contact with the rails, so the axle, rails, and R form a closed-loop circuit. The only significant resistance in the circuit is R.) A uniform magnetic field B = 0.800 T is directed vertically downward. (a) Find the induced current I in the resistor. (b) What horizontal force F is required to keep the axle rolling at constant speed? (c) Which end of the resistor, a or b. is at the higher electric potential? (d) Alter the axle rolls past the resistor, does the current in R reverse direction? Explain your answer. Figure P20.65arrow_forwardFigure P30.10 shows a circular current-carrying wire. Using the coordinate system indicated (with the z axis out of the page), state the direction of the magnetic field at points A and B.arrow_forwardThe homopolar generator, also called the Faraday disk, is a low-voltage, high-current electric generator. It consists of a rotating conducting disk with one stationary brush (a sliding electrical contact) at its axle and another at a point on its circumference as shown in Figure P31.33. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the disk. Assume the field is 0.900 T, the angular speed is 3.20 103 rev/min, and the radius of the disk is 0.400 m. Find the emf generated between the brushes. When superconducting coils are used to produce a large magnetic field, a homopolar generator can have a power output of several megawatts. Such a generator is useful, for example, in purifying metals by electrolysis. If a voltage is applied to the output terminals of the generator, it runs in reverse as a homopolar motor capable of providing great torque, useful in ship propulsion.arrow_forward
- A wire carrying a current I is bent into the shape of an exponential spiral, r = e, from = 0 to = 2 as suggested in Figure P29.47. To complete a loop, the ends of the spiral are connected by a straight wire along the x axis. (a) The angle between a radial line and its tangent line at any point on a curve r = f() is related to the function by tan=rdr/d Use this fact to show that = /4. (b) Find the magnetic field at the origin. Figure P29.47arrow_forwardConsider the system pictured in Figure P28.26. A 15.0-cm horizontal wire of mass 15.0 g is placed between two thin, vertical conductors, and a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the page. The wire is free to move vertically without friction on the two vertical conductors. When a 5.00-A current is directed as shown in the figure, the horizontal wire moves upward at constant velocity in the presence of gravity. (a) What forces act on the horizontal wire, and (b) under what condition is the wire able to move upward at constant velocity? (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic Field required to move the wire at constant speed. (d) What happens if the magnetic field exceeds this minimum value? Figure P28.26arrow_forwardA metal rod of mass m slides without friction along two parallel horizontal rails, separated by a distance l and connected by a resistor R, as shown in Figure P23.15. A uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitude B is applied perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The applied force shown in the figure acts only for a moment, to give die rod a speed v. In terms of m, l, R, B, and v, find the distance the rod will then slide as it coasts to a stop.arrow_forward
- In Figure P30.38, the rolling axle, 1.50 m long, is pushed along horizontal rails at a constant speed v = 3.00 m/s. A resistor R = 0.400 is connected to the rails at points a and b, directly opposite each other. The wheels make good electrical contact with the rails, so the axle, rails, and R form a closed-loop circuit. The only significant resistance in the circuit is R. A uniform magnetic field B = 0.080 0 T is vertically downward. (a) Find the induced current I in the resistor. (b) What horizontal force F is required to keep the axle rolling at constant speed? (c) Which end of the resistor, a or b, is at the higher electric potential? (d) What If? After the axle rolls past the resistor, does the current in R reverse direction? Explain your answer. Figure P30.38arrow_forwardA metal rod of mass m slides without friction along two parallel horizontal rails, separated by a distance and connected by a resistor R, as shown in Figure P30.13. A uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitude B is applied perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The applied force shown in the figure acts only for a moment, to give the rod a speed v. In terms of m, , R, B, and v, find the distance the rod will then slide as it coasts to a stop. Figure P30.13arrow_forwardAssume the region to the right of a certain plane contains a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT and the field is zero in the region to the left of the plane as shown in Figure P22.71. An electron, originally traveling perpendicular to the boundary plane, passes into the region of the field. (a) Determine the time interval required for the electron to leave the field-filled region, noting that the electrons path is a semicircle. (b) Assuming the maximum depth of penetration into the field is 2.00 cm, find the kinetic energy of the electron.arrow_forward
