Answer: None of the given options match the fields correctly.

Step by step solution

01

Identifying the fields associated with each case.

Let's assign a letter to each of the given sources, and use that as a reference throughout the exercise: 1. Long current-carrying wire (L) 2. Single positive charge (S) 3. Two oppositely charged particles (O) 4. Two positive charges (P) 5. Field between two oppositely charged parallel sheets (F) Now, let's analyze the given options: (A) A, D, C, B, E (B) E, A, D, C, B (C) E, D, A, B, C (D) D, E, C, B, A (E) C, B, A, E, D
02

Finding the field associated with the long current-carrying wire.

Recall that the magnetic field around a long wire is circular, with concentric circles centered on the wire. Option A assumes that field A corresponds to the long wire. We can eliminate options B and C since they associate field E with the long wire, while a long-carrying wire doesn't produce straight lines. Option D assumes D corresponds to the long wire, which is incorrect as it's more radial than circular. Option E assumes C corresponds to the long wire with bi-directional arrows, which is not the case.
03

Finding the field associated with a single positive charge.

Option A assumes D is related to the single charge, which is incorrect because D shows two charges with opposite signs. Only options B and D associate A with a single charge. However, option D has eliminated in step 2.
04

Finding the field between two oppositely charged parallel sheets.

Option B assumes E is related to the field between two charged parallel sheets, which is correct because uniform straight lines represent the electric field between two oppositely charged parallel sheets.
05

Verifying the rest of Option B.

We have already verified E and A for option B. Now, we need to verify D, C, and B for the remaining fields: - (B) D refers to two oppositely charged particles (O): correct, as it has two charges with opposite signs and arrows pointing towards and away from them. - (B) C refers to two positive charges (P): correct, as it has two positive charges with arrows pointing away from them. - (B) B refers to a single positive charge (S): incorrect, as it has another charge responsible for the curve. In fact, A suits more accurately for a single positive charge. Since option B has errors, we conclude that none of the given options match the fields correctly.

Two oppositely charged parallel plates are held apart at distance of \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\). The potential difference between them is maintained at 50 volts. The electric field between them is (A) \(5 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\), down (B) \(50 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\), up (C) \(500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\), down (D) \(500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\), up (E) \(1 / 50 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\), down

A rectangular loop is situated in a region with a uniform magnetic field of \(0.1 \mathrm{~T}\) pointing into the page, as shown below. The length of the loop is \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\) and the width is \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\). a) What is the magnetic flux through the loop? b) If the value of \(B\) is increased from \(0.1 \mathrm{~T}\) to \(0.5 \mathrm{~T}\) in \(0.3 \mathrm{~s}\), what will be the EMF induced into the loop? What will be the direction of the induced current? Justify your answer. c) If the resistance of the loop is \(R=1 \Omega\), what is the value of the current? d) If the \(B\)-field is tilted at an angle \(\theta=15^{\circ}\) from the normal to the page, what is the flux through the loop? e) Give two ways that one could change the induced EMF in the loop, other than changing \(B\). f) Draw a rotation axis from left to right in the plane of the page that passes through the loop's center. The loop is rotated about this axis at a constant angular velocity. Write an expression for the flux in terms of the angular velocity \(\omega\) and the time \(t\).
