Obtain a permanent magnet and an object that is attracted to the magnet but not repelled. Imagine that you do not know which object is the magnet. Using only these two objects, find a way to determine which object is the permanent magnet. (Hint: Are there parts on either object that do not interact as strongly as other parts?)

- A laboratory electromagnet produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.50 T. A proton moves through this field with a speed of 6.00 106 m/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the maximum magnetic force that could he exerted on the proton. (b) What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the proton? (c) Would the field exert the same magnetic force on an electron moving through the field with the same speed? (d) Would the electron experience the same acceleration? Explain.arrow_forwardA laboratory electromagnet produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.50 T. A proton moves through this field with a speed of 6.00 106 m/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the maximum magnetic force that could be exerted on the proton. (b) What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the proton? (c) Would the field exert the same magnetic force on an electron moving through the field with the same speed? (d) Would the electron undergo the same acceleration?

- A 1.00-kg ball having net charge Q = 5.00 C is thrown out of a window horizontally at a speed v = 20.0 m/s. The window is at a height h = 20.0 m above the ground. A uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.010 0 T is perpendicular to the plane of the balls trajectory. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the ball just before it hits the ground. Hint: Ignore magnetic forces in finding the balls final velocity.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_forwardAn electron moves in the plane of this paper toward the top of the page. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the page and directed toward the right. What is the direction of the magnetic force on the electron? (a) toward the top of the page (b) toward the bottom of the page (c) toward the left edge of the page (d) toward the right edge of the page (e) upward out of the page (f) downward into the pagearrow_forward
- Answer each question yes or no. (a) Is it possible for each of three stationary charged particles to exert a force of attraction on the other two? (b) Is it possible for each of three stationary charged particles to repel both of the other particles? (c) Is it possible for each of three current-carrying metal wires to attract the other two wires? (d) Is it possible for each of three current-carrying metal wires to repel the other two wires? André-Marie Ampère’s experiments on electromagnetism are models of logical precision and included observation of the phenomena referred to in this question.arrow_forwardAnswer each question yes or no.

(a) a stationary object with electric charge (b) a moving object with electric charge (c) a stationary conductor carrying electric current (d) a difference in electric potential (e) a charged capacitor disconnected from a battery and at rest. Note: In Chapter 24, we will see that a changing electric field also creates a magnetic field.arrow_forwardConsider the two parallel wires carrying currents in opposite directions in Figure OQ3G.9.
