- At a particular instant an electron is traveling west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. Earth's magnetic field has a horizontal component of 1.8105 T north and a vertical component of 5.0105 T down. (a) What is the path of the election? (b) What is the radius of curvature of the path?arrow_forwardUnreasonable 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_forwardAn electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed of 6.0107 m/s, in a direction perpendicular to Earth's field, which has a strength of 5.0105 T. (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the election moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a collection,)arrow_forward
- Pr3. A long, cylindrical wire has the cross-section of an annulus, i.e. region between two concentric circles, see the shaded area in figure a). The outer radius of the wire is 2R, the inner diameter is R. Current I flows along the wire (perpendicularly into the page) in uniform distribution between radii R and 2R. a) b) ×I R R P 2R 2R a) Find and plot the magnitude of the magnetic field as a function of distance r from the symmetry axis of the wire. b) Suppose now that the cavity of radius R is not coaxial with the outer surface of the wire, as seen in figure b). Find the magnetic field at point P located in the center of the cavity. The current distribution in the wire is assumed to be uniform, the value of current is I.arrow_forwardThe figure provided shows a cross section through three long wires with equal currents and a linear mass density μ = 50 g/m. The lower two wires are a distance dd = 4 cm apart and are attached to a table. What current will allow the upper wire to float so as to form an equilateral triangle with the lower wires?arrow_forwardThe figure provided shows a cross section through three long wires with equal currents and a linear mass density μ = 50 g/m. The lower two wires are a distance d = 4 cm apart and are attached to a table. What current will allow the upper wire to float so as to form an equilateral triangle with the lower wires?arrow_forward

- The figure above is a cross section of three very long wires with linear mass density of 50 g/m. They each carry an equal amount of current, I, in the directions that are shown. The lower two wires are 5.0 cm apart and being held stationary. What current I will allow the top wire to “float” such that it forms an equilateral triangle with the other two wires?arrow_forwardAn infinitely long conductive wire of radius a is inside an infinitely long and very thin sheath of radius b. Constant I current goes from the conductor wire and returns from the cylindrical sheath. The current density is assumed to be uniform at the wire and sheath. Write the expressions of the magnetic field that are valid inside the wire, between the wire and the sheath and outside the sheath.arrow_forwardI 5 cm A rectangular loop (10 cm length and 5 cm width) placed 5 cm from a long straight wire in the x-y plane. both loop and wire carry 10 cm I the same current I = 3 A. the current directions are shown in the figure. a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of 5 cm the net force on the loop. b) What is the magnitude of the net torque on the loop and why?arrow_forward
