a. Which source, A or B, should be switched on so that the magnetic field will deflect the wire
upward, helping balance the conductor's weight? Explain. (ans: Source B-why?)
b. How much current from the source would be needed so that the conductor would levitate,
reducing the tension in the wires to zero? (ans: 0.11A)
12. A proton in the solar wind travels perpendicularly at 3.00x10 m/s across the Earth's magnetic field
lines. The field at that location is 0.0000100 T.
Determine the magnitude of the magnetic force that will deflect the proton. (ans: 4.8 x 1019 N)
a.
b. Since this force acts at right angles to its velocity, the proton will experience this as a
centripetal force, causing the proton to have a "corkscrew" circular motion. Calculate the
radius of these circles as the proton travels through the field. (ans: 313 m)
