A small, square loop carries a 25Acurrent. The on-axis magnetic field strength 50cm from the loop is 7.5nT. What is the edge length of the square?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The edge length is13.5mm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given,

Current = 25A

Distance = 50cm

Magnetic field = 7.5nT

We have to find the length of the edge of square.

02

Simplify

We know the magnetic field strength due to magnetic dipole moment

B=μ0μ2πr3μ=2πr3Bμ0μ=2π×(0.5)3×7.5×10-94π×10-7μ=4.6mA.m2

Then magnetic moment for closed loop will be

μ=AI=L2IL=μIL=4.6×10-325L=13.5mm

FIGURE EX29.37 is a cross section through three long wires with linear mass density 50 g/m. They each carry equal currents in the directions shown. The lower two wires are 4.0 cm apart and are attached to a table. What current I will allow the upper wire to “float” so as to form an equilateral triangle with the lower wires?

The microwaves in a microwave oven are produced in a special tube called a magnetron. The electrons orbit the magnetic field at 2.4GHz, and as they do so they emit 2.4GHzelectro-magnetic waves.

a. What is the magnetic field strength?

b. If the maximum diameter of the electron orbit before the electron hits the wall of the tube is2.5cm, what is the maximum electron kinetic energy?

The heart produces a weak magnetic field that can be used to diagnose certain heart problems. It is a dipole field produced by a current loop in the outer layers of the heart.

a. It is estimated that the field at the center of the heart is 90pT. What current must circulate around an 8.0cm-diameter loop, about the size of a human heart, to produce this field?

b. What is the magnitude of the heart’s magnetic dipole moment.
