Figure 32-38 shows a loop model (loop L) for a paramagnetic material. (a) Sketch the field lines through and about the material due to the magnet. What is the direction of (b) the loop’s net magnetic dipole moment μ, (c) the conventional current iin the loop (clockwise or counterclockwise in the figure), and (d) the magnetic force acting on the loop?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The field lines through and about the material due to magnet are sketched.

(b) Direction of loop’s magnetic dipole moment μis –x direction.

(c) Direction of conventional current iin the loop is counterclockwise.

(d) Magnetic force acting on loop is toward left.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the concepts of magnetism:

By using the concept of para magnetism, energy stored in capacitor, energy stored in inductor as well as the rate of energy supply by the driving EMF, we can find the above quantities.

02

(a) Sketch the diagram:

Sketch the field lines through and about the material due to magnet.

03

(b) Explanation of direction of loop’s magnetic dipole moment:

For the paramagnetic material, the dipole moment μ is in the same direction as of B. From the above figure, it is clear thatμ points in the –x direction.

04

(c) Explanation of direction of conventional current:

From the right-hand rule, since μpoints in the –x direction, the current flows counterclockwise from the perspective of the bar magnet.

05

(d) Explanation of magnetic force acting on loop:

The effect of F is to move the material toward regions of larger |B| values. Force is toward left directions.

Question: Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. Figure 1-6 shows simultaneous readings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions. (At the earliest occasion, for example, B reads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.) If two events are 600 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on (a) clock B and (b) clock C? (c) When clock A reads 400 s, what does clock B read? (d) When clock C reads 15.0 s, what does clock B read? (Assume negative readings for prezero times.)

An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the Sun, approximately 1.50×108km. The speed of light is about 3.0×108m/s. Express the speed of light in astronomical units per minute.

Because Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing, the length of each day increases: The day at the end of 1.0 century is 1.0 ms longer than the day at the start of the century. In 20 centuries, what is the total of the daily increases in time?

A certain gyroscope consists of a uniform disk with a 50cm radius mounted at the centre of an axle that is11cmlong and of negligible mass. The axle is horizontal and supported at one end. If the disk is spinning around the axle at1000rev/min, what is the precession rate?

An astronomical unit (AU) is equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun, about 92.9×106mi. A parsec (pc) is the distance at which a length of 1 AU would subtend an angle of exactly 1 second of arc (Fig. 1-8). A light-year (ly) is the distance that light, traveling through a vacuum with a speed of 186000mi/s, would cover in 1.0 year . Express the Earth – Sun distance in (a) parsecs and (b) light-years.
