- A long, vertical, metallic wire carries downward electric current. (i) What is the direction of the magnetic field it creates at a point 2 cm horizontally east of the center of the wire? (a) north (b) south (c) east (d) west (e) up (ii) What would be the direction of the field if the current consisted of positive charges moving downward instead of electrons moving upward? Choose from the same possibilities as in part (i).arrow_forwardFigure CQ30.10 shows four permanent magnets, each having a hole through its center. Notice that the blue and yellow magnets are levitated above the red ones. (a) How does this levitation occur? (b) What purpose do the rods serve? (c) What can you say about the poles of the magnets from this observation? (d) If the blue magnet were inverted, what do you suppose would happen?arrow_forwardTwo wires lie perpendicular to the plane of the paper and equal electric currents pass through the paper in the directions shown. Point P is equidstant from the two wires. a) Construct a vector diagram showing the direction of the resultant magnetic field at point P due to currents in these wires. Explain your reasoning. b) If the currents in both wires were instead directed into the plane of the page (such that the current moved away from us), show the resultant magentic field at point P.arrow_forward

Take the sign of B to be positive if the direction is out of the paper and negative if B is into the paper. You need to enter the number with its sign and a space and the unit. 1b)What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the midpoint b? The distance between a and b are much larger than R (each straight section is "infinite"). Take the sign of B to be positive if the direction is out of the paper and negative if B is into the paper.arrow_forwardFigure 3 shows a straight wire carrying a current in upwarddirection.

Case 3: The current is constant but the loop is being pulledaway from the straight wire.arrow_forward1a. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 33.0 mm from for a current-carrying conductor with 1.5 A of current running through it b. How would the magnetic field vary for the same conductor above if it was 2.5m long, and the current-carrying conductor was wound into a coil with a total of 5.0x103 turns? Express this value as a ratio to the magnetic field found in part a.arrow_forward
