Chapter 30, Problem 54AP
Why is the following situation impossible? The magnitude of the Earth’s magnetic field at either pole is approximately 7.0 × 10−5 T. Suppose the field fades away to zero before its next reversal. Several scientists propose plans for artificially generating a replacement magnetic field to assist with devices that depend on the presence of the field. The plan that is selected is to lay a copper wire around the equator and supply it with a current that would generate a magnetic field of magnitude 7.00 × 10−5 T at the poles. (Ignore magnetization of any materials inside the Earth.) The plan is implemented and is highly successful.

- 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.

When t = 2.00 s, calculate (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the force exerted on an electron located at point P1, which is at a distance r1 = 5.00 cm from the center of the circular field region. (c) At what instant is this force equal to zero?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.
