(I) Jumper cables used to start a stalled vehicle often carry a 65-A current. How strong is the magnetic field 3.5 cm from one cable? Compare to the Earth’s magnetic field (5.0 × 10-5 T).
We assume the jumper cable is a long straight wire, and use Eq. 28-1.
Compare this to the Earth’s field of 0.5 × 10-4 T.

- A 5.0-m section of a long, straight wire carries a current of 10 A while in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 8.0103T . Calculate the magnitude of the force on the section if the angle between the field and the direction of the current is (a) 45°; (b) 90°; (C) 0°; or (d) 180°.arrow_forward12.4 Check Your Understanding Two wires, both carrying current out of the page, have a current of magnitude 2.0 mA and 3.0 mA, respectively. The first wire is located at (0.0 cm, 5.0 cm) while the other wire is located at (12.0 cm, 0.0 cm). What is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length of the first wire on the second and the second wire on the first?arrow_forwardIf a charged particle moves in a straight line, can you conclude that there is no magnetic field present?arrow_forward
- Repeat Exercise 22.41, but with the loop lying flat on the ground with its current circulating counterclockwise (when viewed from above) in a location where the Earth’s field is north, but at an angle 45.0° below the horizontal and with a strength at 6.00105T.arrow_forwardThe magnetic field perpendicular to a single sire loop of diameter 10.0 cm decreases fron 0.50 T to zero. The re Is made of copper and has a diameter of 2.0 mm and length 1.0 cm. How much charge moves thrnugh the re while tt field is changing?arrow_forwardA cosmic-ray electron moves at 7.5 × 106 m/sinches perpendicular to Earth’s magnetic field at an altitude queer the field strength is 1.0 × 105T. What is the radius of the circular path the electron follows?arrow_forward
- Considering the magnetic force law, are the velocity and magnetic field always perpendicular? Are the force and velocity always perpendicular? What about the force and magnetic field?arrow_forwardA long-rigid wire lies along the x-axis and cairns a current of 2.5 A in the positive x-direction. Around the wire is the magnetic field B=2.0i+5.0x2j, With x in meters and B in millitesla. Calculate the magnetic force on the segment of wire between x=2.0m and x=4.0m .arrow_forwardA long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 20 A. If the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 4.0105 T that is directed vertically downward, what is tire resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 20 cm above the wire? 20 cm below the wire?arrow_forward
- Does increasing the magnitude of a uniform magnetic field through which a charge is traveling necessarily mean increasing the magnetic force on the charge? Does changing the direction of the field necessarily mean a change in the force on the charge?arrow_forward12.3 Check Your Understanding Using Example 12.3, keeping the currents the same in wires 1 and 3, what should the current be in wire 2 to counteract the magnetic fields horn wires 1 and 3 so that there is no net magnetic field at point P?arrow_forwardCan a constant magnetic field set into motion an electron initially at rest? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
