A thin, 50.0-cm-long metal bar with mass 750 g rests on, but is not attached to, two metallic supports in a uniform 0.450-T magnetic field, as shown in Fig. E27.37. A battery and a 25.0-Ω resistor in series are connected to the supports, (a) What is the highest voltage the battery can have without breaking the circuit at the supports? (b) The battery voltage has the maximum value calculated in part (a). It the resistor suddenly gets partially short-circuited, decreasing its resistance to 2.0 Ω, find the initial acceleration of the bar.

- Using an electromagnetic flowmeter (Fig. P19.69), a heart surgeon monitors the flow rate of blood through an artery. Electrodes A and B make contact with the outer surface of the blood vessel, which has interior diameter 3.00 mm. (a) For a magnetic field magnitude of 0.040 0 T, a potential difference of 160 V appears between the electrodes. Calculate the speed of the blood. (b) Verify that electrode A is positive, as shown. Does the sign of the emf depend on whether the mobile ions in the blood are predominantly positively or negatively charged? Explain. Figure P19.69arrow_forwardA piece of insulated wire is shaped into a figure eight as shown in Figure P23.12. For simplicity, model the two halves of the figure eight as circles. The radius of the upper circle is 5.00 cm and that of the lower circle is 9.00 cm. The wire has a uniform resistance per unit length of 3.00 Ω/m. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the two circles, in the direction shown. The magnetic field is increasing at a constant rate of 2.00 T/s. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the induced current in the wire.

- 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 0.500-V output for blood moving at 30.0 cm/s in a 1.50-cm-diameter vessel. (a) What magnetic field strength is needed? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (C) Which premise is responsible?arrow_forwardA proton moving in the plane of the page has a kinetic energy of 6.00 MeV. A magnetic field of magnitude H = 1.00 T is directed into the page. The proton enters the magnetic field with its velocity vector at an angle = 45.0 to the linear boundary of' the field as shown in Figure P29.80. (a) Find x, the distance from the point of entry to where the proton will leave the field. (b) Determine . the angle between the boundary and the protons velocity vector as it leaves the field.arrow_forwardConsider the system pictured in Figure P28.26. A 15.0-cm horizontal wire of mass 15.0 g is placed between two thin, vertical conductors, and a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the page. The wire is free to move vertically without friction on the two vertical conductors. When a 5.00-A current is directed as shown in the figure, the horizontal wire moves upward at constant velocity in the presence of gravity. (a) What forces act on the horizontal wire, and (b) under what condition is the wire able to move upward at constant velocity? (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic Field required to move the wire at constant speed. (d) What happens if the magnetic field exceeds this minimum value?

- Review. In studies of the possibility of migrating birds using the Earths magnetic field for navigation, birds have been fitted with coils as caps and collars as shown in Figure P22.39. (a) If the identical coils have radii of 1.20 cm and are 2.20 cm apart, with 50 turns of wire apiece, what current should they both carry to produce a magnetic field of 4.50 105 T halfway between them? (b) If the resistance of each coil is 210 V, what voltage should the battery supplying each coil have? (c) What power is delivered to each coil? Figure P22.39arrow_forwardA square loop whose sides are 6.0-cm long is made with copper wire of radius 1.0 mm. If a magnetic field perpendicular to the loop is changing at a rate of 5.0 mT/s, what is the current in the loop?arrow_forward90. Figure P28.90 shows two square loops of wire. The loop on the right is fixed in place, and the one on the left is free to pivot in any direction. Both loops carry a current that is counterclock- wise when viewed from above. (a) What is the direction of the magnetic field created by the right loop at the left loop? (b) What is the initial direction of the magnetic dipole moment of the left loop? (c) How does the left loop rotate? (d) After the left loop is allowed to rotate and the system reaches equilibrium, are the magnetic dipole moments of the two loops parallel, antiparallel, or neither?
