Concept explainers
Experimental tests have shown that hammerhead sharks can detect magnetic fields. In one such test, 100 turns of wire were wrapped around a 7.0-m diameter cylindrical shark tank. A magnetic field was created inside the tank when this coil of wire carried a current of 1.5 A. Sharks trained by getting a food reward when the field was present would later unambiguously respond when the field was turned on.
a. What was the magnetic field strength in the center of the tank due to the current in the coil?
b. Is the strength of the coil’s field at the center of the tank larger or smaller than that of the earth?

- A positive charge of 91 is located 5.11 m to the left of a negative charge 92. The charges have different magnitudes. On the line through the charges, the net electric field is zero at a spot 2.90 m to the right of the negative charge. On this line there are also two spots where the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left of the negative charge is one spot? (b) How far to the right of the negative charge is the other?arrow_forwardA charge of -3.99 μC is fixed in place. From a horizontal distance of 0.0423 m, a particle of mass 7.31 x 103 kg and charge -9.76 µC is fired with an initial speed of 84.1 m/s directly toward the fixed charge. How far does the particle travel before its speed is zero?arrow_forwarda) What is the minimum tension in N that the cable must be able to support without breaking? Assume the cable is massless.
