Chapter 30, Problem 58PQ
Professor Edward Ney was the founder of infrared astronomy at the University of Minnesota. In his later years, he wore an artificial pacemaker. Always an experimentalist, Ney often held a strong laboratory magnet near his chest to see what effect it had on his pacemaker. Perhaps he was using the magnet to throw switches that control different modes of operation. An admiring student (without an artificial pacemaker) thought it would be fun to imitate this great man by holding a strong magnet to his own chest. The natural pacemaker of the heart (known as the sinoatrial node) carries a current of about 0.5 mA. Estimate the magnetic force exerted on a natural pacemaker by a strong magnet held to the chest. How do you think the student might have felt during the experiment? Explain your geometric assumptions. Hints: See Table 30.1 (page 941) to estimate the magnetic field, and assume the field is roughly uniform. Use Figure P30.58 to estimate the size of the sinoatrial node; your heart is about the size of your fist.

Imagine a satellite (Pioneer 10) in an orbit around Ganymede (Jupiter's moon).
You want to generate electricity by attaching a conducting cable 10km long. If
the speed of the satellite is 7 km/s and the magnetic field of Ganymede is 60 nT
how much emf will be generated? (Hint1: assume that magnetic field is
perpendicular to the plane which contains the cable. Hint2: you can think of it as
motional emf) Is it possible to produce electricity this way forever? Explain your
answer.
Magnetic fields within a sunspot can be as strong as 0.4 T. (By comparison, the earth’s magnetic field is about 1/10,000 as strong.) Sunspots can be as large as 25,000 km in radius. The material in a sunspot has a density of about 3 x 10-4 kg/m3 . Assume m for the sunspot material is µ0. If 100% of the magneticfield energy stored in a sunspot could be used to eject the sunspot’s material away from the sun’s surface, at what speed would that material be ejected? Compare to the sun’s escape speed, which is about 6 x 105 m/s.
A 2.50-kg metallic ball at rest is being pulled by a strange magnetic field of a comet. The force exerted by the
comet (in newtons) is given by the function F (r) = –kre-r, where:
r: Distance from the comet's surface to the metallic ball, in meters.
k =8.00 N m2
a = 2.00 m 1
The metallic ball starts at a distant enough position from the comet such that the force is zero, then starts
moving towards the comet.
1. What is the potential function U (r) of the comet? Use the condition U (ro) = lim, 00 U (r) = 0.
2. What is the metallic ball's speed (in m/s) once the steel ball is one meter above the comet?
Justify your answer using your rationale and equations used.
