- The following statements are related to the force of a magnetic field on a current-carrying wire. Indicate whether each statement is true (T) or false (F). (a) The magnetic force on the wire is independent of the direction of the current. (b) The force on the wire is directed perpendicular to both the wire and the magnetic field. (c) The force takes its largest value when the magnetic field is parallel to the wire.arrow_forwardThe right-hand rule is a way to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by moving charges. Imagine wrapping your right hand around the path of the charges so that the positive charges (or the current) flow from the little finger side of your fist to the thumb side (Figure 8.53). Then your fingers circle the path in the same direction as the magnetic field lines. Use this rule to verify the directions of the magnetic fields shown in Figures 8.8 and 8.10. How would you use the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field lines around a moving negative charge?arrow_forwardA particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.arrow_forward
- Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or MEG, is used to study electrical activity in the brain using this concept This technique is capable of detecting magnetic fields as weak as 1.0 1015 T. Model the neuron as a long wire carrying a current and find the current it must carry to produce a field of this magnitude at a distance of 4.0 cm from the neuron.arrow_forwardA proton moves at 7.50107m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field. The field causes the proton to travel in a circular path of radius 0.800 m. What is the field strength?arrow_forwardA charged particle is traveling through a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements are true of the magnetic field? There may be more than one correct statement. (a) It exerts a force on the particle parallel to the field. (b) It exerts a force on the particle along the direction of its motion. (c) It increases the kinetic energy of the particle. (d) It exerts a force that is perpendicular to the direction of motion. (e) It does not change the magnitude of the momentum of the particle.arrow_forward
- A 25-cm nod moves at 5.0 m/s in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength 0.25 T. The rod, velocity vector, and magnetic field vector are mutually perpendicular, as indicated in tire accompanying figure. Calculate (a) the magnetic force on an electron in tire rod, (b) the electric field in the rod, and (c) the potential difference between the ends of the rod. (d) What is the speed of the rod if the potential difference is 1.0 V?arrow_forwardAs seen in previous chapters, any object with electric charge, stationary or moving, other than the charged object that created the field, experiences a force in an electric field. Also, any object with electric charge, stationary or moving, can create an electric field (Chapter 22). Similarly, an electric current or a moving electric charge, other than the current or charge that created the field, experiences a force in a magnetic field (Chapter 28), and an electric current creates a magnetic field (Section 29.1). (a) To understand how a moving charge can also create a magnetic field, consider a particle with charge q moving with velocity v. Define the position vector r=rr leading from the particle to some location. Show that the magnetic field at that location is B=04qvrr2 (b) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field 1.00 mm to the side of a proton moving at 2.00 107 m/s. (c) Find the magnetic force on a second proton at this point, moving with the same speed in the opposite direction. (d) Find the electric force on the second proton.arrow_forwardClassify each of die following statements as a characteristic (a) of electric forces only, (b) of magnetic forces only, (c) of both electric and magnetic forces, or (d) of neither electric nor magnetic forces. (i) The force is proportional to the magnitude of the field exerting it. (ii) The force is proportional to the magnitude of the charge of the object on which the force is exerted. (iii) The force exerted on a negatively charged object is opposite in direction to the force on a positive charge. (iv) The force exerted on a stationary charged object is nonzero. (v) The force exerted on a moving charged object is zero. (vi) The force exerted on a charged object is proportional to its speed. (vii) The force exerted on a charged object cannot alter the objects speed. (viii) The magnitude of the force depends on the charged objects direction of motion.arrow_forward

A 10.0-m-long straight wire carries a 15-A current, (a) If the current is directed horizontally toward the east, what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on tile wire?
