Problem Set 9 Due: 11/21/12, Wednesday Chapter 29: Magnetic Fields due to Currents Exercises & Problems: 7, 29, 36, 48, 55, 57, 73 Question A (i) What is the core difference between electric and magnetic forces? (ii) How do Maxwell’s equations show this? (iii) How would Maxwell’s equations change if magnetic monopoles existed? What's the core difference between the electric and magnetic forces Question A In electronic equipment, wires that carry equal but opposite currents are often twisted together to reduce their magnetic effect at distance points. Why is this effective? Question B A current was sent through a helical soil spring. The spring contracted, as though it had been compressed. Why? Question C Suppose you have three long, parallel wires, arranged so that in cross section they are at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Is there any way to arrange the currents so that all three wires attract each other? So that all three wires repel each other? Explain. Question D Magnetic field lines never have a beginning or an end. Use this to explain why it is reasonable for the field of a toroidal solenoid to be confined entirely to its interior, while a straight solenoid must have some field outside. Question D (i) When iron filings are sprinkled around a magnet, an image of the magnetic field is captured. Why does this happen? (ii) Furthermore, these iron filings separate into clearly visible patterns of lines. Why don't the particles form a more even distributed pattern? Do these gaps/lines exist in the magnetic field itself? Answer Each particle of iron in a magnetic field becomes a tiny magnet, following the field lines. A small dipole. This means it will attract at its two poles and be neutral in the middle. This is a way of making a line. The pictures you show are made for the purpose of displaying the field lines . If the whole area were filled with iron dust the effect would be much less visible, though there would be a direction, a type of flow of the dust, due to the gradual orientation of the dipoles along the field lines . The field lines themselves fill the space continuously. The presence of the magnet's field magnetizes each little strip so that, as Anna says, each strip becomes itself a tiny magnet. This has two consequences: The energy of each strip is minimal when it is aligned with the field. This causes all filings to turn where they are and face (preferentially) the local direction of the field, which will already create a picture of the field. The filings now interact with each other and are therefore attracted or repelled from each other depending on their relative alignment, as shown in the image below. This makes the head-to-tail configuration much more favourable than the side-to-side configuration (from the two that have m1 and m2 parallel; the others are discouraged by the original field from the magnet which is of course stronger) and the filings will therefore move around to achieve this as far as possible. This is what causes the lines you ask about. (of course, to get an intuitive feel for how the dipole-dipole interaction really works, grabbing a pair of bar magnets and moving them about definitely beats staring at pictures!) Question D (i) What is the core difference between electric and magnetic forces? (ii) How do Maxwell’s equations show this? (iii) How would Maxwell’s equations change if magnetic monopoles existed? What's the core difference between the electric and magnetic forces Electric forces are created by and act on, both moving and stationary charges; while magnetic forces are created by and act on only moving charges. Problem 29.7 In Fig. 29-38, two circular arcs have radii a = 13.5 cm and b = 10.7 cm, subtend angle = 74.0o, carry current i = 0.411 A, and share the same center of curvature P. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the net magnetic field at P? Problem 29.29 In Fig. 29-56, four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page, and their cross sections form a square of edge length a = 20 cm. The currents are out of the page in wires 1 and 4 and into the page in wires 2 and 3, and each wire carries 20 A. In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic field at the square's center? SSM Problem 29.36 In Fig. 29-64, five long parallel wires in an xy plane are separated by distance d = 8.00 cm, have lengths of 10.0 m, and carry identical currents of 3.00 A out of the page. Each wire experiences a magnetic force due to the other wires. In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic force on (a) wire 1, (b) wire 2, (c) wire 3, (d) wire 4, and (e) wire 5? Problem 29.48 In Fig. 29-71, a long circular pipe with outside radius R = 2.6 cm carries a (uniformly distributed) current i = 8.0 mA into the page. A wire runs parallel to the pipe at a distance of from center to center. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the current in the wire such that the net magnetic field at point P has the same magnitude as the net magnetic field at the center of the pipe but is in the opposite direction. Problem 29.55 A long solenoid with 10.0 turns/cm and a radius of 7.00 cm carries a current of 20.0 mA. A current of 6.00 A exists in a straight conductor located along the central axis of the solenoid. (a) At what radial distance from the axis will the direction of the resulting magnetic field be at 45.0o to the axial direction? (b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field there? SSM Problem 29.57 A student makes a short electromagnet by winding 300 turns of wire around a wooden cylinder of diameter d = 5.0 cm. The coil is connected to a battery producing a current of 4.0 A in the wire. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of this device? (b) At what axial distance z >> d will the magnetic field have the magnitude 5.0 T (approximately one-tenth that of Earth's magnetic field)? SSM Problem 29.73 Figure 29-78 shows a cross section of a long cylindrical conductor of radius a = 4.00 cm containing a long cylindrical hole of radius b = 1.50 cm. The central axes of the cylinder and hole are parallel and are distance d = 2.00 cm apart; current i = 5.25 A is uniformly distributed over the tinted area. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the hole? (b) Discuss the two special cases b = 0 and d = 0.
