An unmagnetized metal sphere hangs by a thread. When the north pole of a bar magnet is brought near, the sphere is strongly attracted to the magnet, as shown in Figure Q24.29. Then the magnet is reversed and its south pole is brought near the sphere. How does the sphere respond?
A. It is strongly attracted to the magnet.
B. It is weakly attracted to the magnet.
C. It does not respond.
D. It is weakly repelled by the magnet.
E. It is strongly repelled by the magnet.

- A conductor consists of a circular loop of radius K and two long, straight sections as shown in Figure P50.7. The wire lies in the plane of the paper and carries a current I. (a) What is the direction of the magnetic field at the center of the loop? (b) Find an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the loop.arrow_forward(a) What is the angle between a wire carrying an 8.00-A current and the 1.20-T field it is in if 50.0 cm of the wire experiences a magnetic force of 2.40 N? (b) What is the force on the wire if it is rotated to make an angle of 90° with the field?arrow_forward(a) A physicist performing a sensitive measurement wants to limit the magnetic force on a moving charge in her equipment to less than 1.001012N. What is the greatest the charge can be if it moves at a maximum speed of 30.0 m/s in the Earth’s field? (b) Discuss whether it would be difficult to limit the charge to less than the value found in (a) by competing it with typical static electricity and noting that static is often absent.arrow_forward

- Unreasonable Results Frustrated by the small Hall voltage obtained in blood flow measurements, a medical physicist decides to increase the applied magnetic field strength to get a 0.500V output for blood moving at 30.0 cm/s in a 1.50cmdiameter vessel. (a) What magnetic field strength is needed? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which premise is responsible?arrow_forwardA proton having an initial velocity of 20.0iMm/s enters a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.300 T with a direction perpendicular to the protons velocity. It leaves the field-filled region with velocity 20.0jMm/s. Determine (a) the direction of the magnetic field. (b) the radius of curvature of the protons path while in the field, (c) the distance the proton traveled in the field, and (d) the time interval during which the proton is in the field.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

Suppose an electron beam is accelerated through a 50.0-kV potential difference and then through a region of uniform magnetic field 1.00 cm wide. The screen is located 10.0 cm from the center of the coils and is 50.0 cm wide. When the field is turned off, the electron beam hits the center of the screen.
