A horizontal rectangular surface has dimensions 2.80cmby 3.20cmand is in a uniform magnetic field that is directed at an angle of 30.0°above the horizontal. What must the magnitude of the magnetic field be to produce a flux of 3.10×10-4Wb through the surface?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the magnetic field be to produce a flux of 3.10×10-4Wbthrough the surface is0.692T.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of magnetic field

The term magnetic field may be defined as the area around the magnet behave like a magnet.

02

Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field

The magnetic flux can be calculated as

fB=B×dAfB=BAcosθB=fBAcosθ

But

A=aba=2.30cmb=3.20cm

Than

B=fBabcosθ

Here a, b are the side of rectangle fBis the magnetic flux and B is the magnetic field.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

B=fBabcosθB=3.10×10-4Wb2.80×10-2m3.20×10-2mcos60.0°B=0.692T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field be to produce a flux of role="math" localid="1655717958537" 3.10×10-4Wbthrough the surface is 0.692T

An alpha particle (a He nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons and having a mass of 6.64×10-7kg) travelling horizontally at 35.6km/senter a uniform, vertical,1.80-T magnetic field.(a) What is the diameter of the path followed by this alpha particle? (b) what effect does the magnetic field have on the speed of the particle? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the alpha particle while it is in the magnetic field? (d) explain why the speed of the particle does not change even though an unbalanced external force acts on it.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

A fuse is a device designed to break a circuit, usually by melting when the current exceeds a certain value. What characteristics should the material of the fuse have?
