Chapter 4: Q12DQ (page 911)

Each of the lettered points at the corners of the cube in Fig. Q27.12 represents a positive charge q moving with a velocity of magnitude v in the direction indicated. The region in the figure is in a uniform magnetic field B, parallel to the x-axis and directed toward the right. Which charges experience a force due to B? What is the direction of the force on each charge?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Charge experience zero force, but all other charges will experience some force due to the field velocity

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic field and charge

Magnetic field is the vector field which describe the magnetic influence on moving electric field. Now we know that

Fmag=qv→×B→

Now by applying the above equation, and we get the particle velocity and field in the same direction then the field is zero

If not, then the field is perpendicular to bothv→ andB→

02

Charge on the other particles

Only the charge C experience zero force and all other experience some force due to field and velocity.

F→qv→×B→, hence

Fais negative in z direction

Fbis positive in y direction

Fcis zero

Fdis negative in the y direction

Feis 45°to both negative and y and z axis.

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter

2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has8.5×108free electrons per

cubic meter. (a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each

second? (b) What is the current density in the wire? (c) At what speed does

a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (d) If you were to use

wire of twice the diameter, which of the above answers would change?

Would they increase or decrease?

The energy that can be extracted from a storage battery is always less than the energy that goes into it while it is being charged. Why?

The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?

Why does an electric light bulb nearly always burn out just as you turn on the light, almost never while the light is shining?

A25.0-Ωbulb is connected across the terminals of a12.0-Vbattery having3.50Ωof internal resistance. What percentage of the power of the battery is dissipated across the internal resistance and hence is not available to the bulb?
