What magnetic field strength and direction will levitate the 2.0 g wire in

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic field has the magnitude of 0.13Tand points out of the paper

Step by step solution

01

Part 1 : Given Informaion

The magnetic force must be acting vertically upwards. since the field is perpendicular both to the wire and to the force, it must point in the direction perpendicular to the paper. we must have

F⇀=Il⇀×B⇀.

02

Part 2 : Calculation

To get the desired direction, the field points out of the paper and magnitude of this force is

F=ILB.

It must balance the weight of the wire so

ILB=mg,

Yielding

B=mgIl.

plugging in the numerical value we find

B=0.13T.

significant figures, what are the cyclotron frequencies in a magnetic field of the ions (a)O2+, (b)N2+and (c)CO+? The atomic masses are shown in the table; the mass of the missing electron is less than 0.001uand is not relevant at this level of precision. Although N7+andCO+both have a nominal molecular mass of 28, they are easily distinguished by virtue of their slightly different cyclotron frequencies. Use the following constants:1u=1.6605×10−27kg,ee=1.6022×10−19C.

Magnetic resonance imaging needs a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T. The solenoid is 1.8 m long and 75 cm in diameter. It is tightly wound with a single layer of 2.0-mm-diameter superconducting wire. What size current is needed?

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0cm- diameter, 8cm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10T. To produce the same field with a solenoid of the same size, carrying a current of 2.0A, how many turns of wire would you need?

If A particle of charge qand mass mmoves in the uniform fields E→=E0k^andB→=B0k^. At t=0, the particle has velocity v→0=v0i^. What is the particle's speed at a later time r ?

A Hall-effect probe to measure magnetic field strengths needs to be calibrated in a known magnetic field. Although it is not easy to do, magnetic fields can be precisely measured by measuring the cyclotron frequency of protons. A testing laboratory adjusts a magnetic field until the proton's cyclotron frequency is 10.0MHz. At this field strength, the Hall voltage on the probe is0.543mVwhen the current through the probe is0.150mA. Later, when an unknown magnetic field is measured, the Hall voltage at the same current is1.735mV. What is the strength of this magnetic field?
