What is the line integral of Bbetween points i and f in FIG URE EX29.24?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The line integral will be1.25μT.m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given, a current carrying wire as shown in the above diagram.

We have to find the line integral of the magnetic field along the current carrying wire.

02

Simplify

Using ampere's law, for any path is given by,

ifB.dS=μ0I

Where I is a total current in the magnetic field curve.

Since two straight component of wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field then,

ifB.dS=B.dScos900=0

We need to find the integral of magnetic field only along the curve path.

ifB.dS=BifdSifB.dS=B.LifB.dS=πRBifB.dS=π×(0.01m)×B............................(1)

we know the magnetic field due to half circular ring at its center using Biot's savert law.

B=μ0i2πRB=(4π×10-7)×2A2π×(0.01m)B=4×10-5T

put this value in equation (1),

ifB.dS=π×(0.01m)×BifB.dS=π×(0.01m)×(4×10-5)TifB.dS=12.56×10-7T.mifB.dS=1.25μT.m

Your employer asks you to build a 20-cm-long solenoid with an interior field of 5.0mT. The specifications call for a single layer of wire, wound with the coils as close together as possible. You have two spools of wire available. Wire with a #18gauge has a diameter of 1.02mmand has a maximum current rating of 6A. Wire with a #26gauge is 0.41mmin diameter and can carry up to 1A. Which wire should you use, and what current will you need?

An electron moves in the magnetic fieldB=0.50i^T with a speed of 1.0×107m/sin the directions shown in FIGURE EX29.27. For each, what is magnetic force on the electron? Give your answers in component form.

Although the evidence is weak, there has been concern in recent years over possible health effects from the magnetic fields generated by electric transmission lines. A typical high-voltage transmission line is 20mabove the ground and carries a 200Acurrent at a potential of 110kV.

a. What is the magnetic field strength on the ground directly under such a transmission line?

b. What percentage is this of the earth’s magnetic field of 50μT?

A proton in a cyclotron gains k=2evof kinetic energy per revolution, where vis the potential between the dees. Although the energy gain comes in small pulses, the proton makes so many revolutions that it is reasonable to model the energy as increasing at the constant rate p=dK/dt=K/T, where Tis the period of the cyclotron motion. This is power input because it is a rate of increase of energy.

a. Find an expression for r(t), the radius of a proton's orbit in a cyclotron, in terms of m,e,B,P,andt. Assume that r=0at t=0.

Hint:Start by finding an expression for the proton's kinetic energy in terms of r.

b. A relatively small cyclotron is 2.0min diameter, uses a 0.55Tmagnetic field, and has a 400Vpotential difference between the dees. What is the power input to a proton, in W?

c. How long does it take a proton to spiral from the center out to the edge?

The toroid of figureP29.55is a coil of wire wrapped around a doughnut-shaped ring (a torus). Toroidal magnetic fields are used to confine fusion plasmas.

a. From symmetry, what must be the shape of the magnetic field in this toroid? Explain.

b. Consider a toroid with N closely spaced turns carrying current I. Use Ampère’s law to find an expression for the magnetic field strength at a point inside the torus at distance r from the axis.

c. Is a toroidal magnetic field a uniform field? Explain.
