- A long, straight, cylindrical conductor contains a cylindrical cavity whose axis is displaced by n from the axis of the conductor, as shown in the accompanying figure. The current density in the conductor is given by J=J0k, where J0 is a constant and k is along the axis of the conductor. Calculate the magnetic field at an arbitrary point P in the cavity by superimposing the field of a solid cylindrical conductor with radius R1and current density Jonto the field of a solid cylindrical conductor with radius R2and current density J . Then use the fact that the appropriate azimuthal unit vectors can be expressed as 1=kr1and 2=kr2 to show that everywhere inside the cavity the magnetic field is given by the constant B=120J0ka , where a=r1r2 and r1=r1r1 is the position of P relative to the center of the conductor and r2=r2r2 is the position of P relative to the center of the cavity.arrow_forwardA certain commercial mass spectrometer is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3.92 × 10-25 kg and charge 3.20 × 10-19 C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 107 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 0.961 m. After traveling through 180° and passing through a slit of width 0.766 mm and height 1.48 cm, they are collected in a cup. (a) What is the magnitude of the (perpendicular) magnetic field in the separator? If the machine is used to separate out 0.795 mg of material per hour, calculate (b) the current of the desired ions in the machine and (c) the thermal energy produced in the cup in 1.07 h.arrow_forwardConsider the situation shown in the figure. An electric field of 277 V/m is confined to a circular area d = 10 cm in diameter and directed outward perpendicular to the plane of the figure. If the field is increasing at a rate of 16.9 V/m·s, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the point P, r = 13.2 cm from the center of the circle?arrow_forward
