Problems to solve in class Magnetic-Fields
10.
An electron has a velocity of 1.20 104 m/s (in the positive x direction),
and an acceleration of 2.00 1012 m/s2 (in the positive z direction) in a uniform
electric and magnetic field. If the electric field has a magnitude of 20.0 N/C (in
the positive z direction), what can you determine about the magnetic field in the
region? What can you not determine?

A wire carries a steady current of 2.40 A. A straight section of the wire is


^

0.750 m long and lies along the x axis within a uniform magnetic field, B = 1.60 k

T. If the current is in the +x direction, what is the magnetic force on the section of
wire?

Review Problem. A rod of mass 0.720 kg and radius 6.00 cm rests on two
parallel rails (Fig. P29.15) that are d = 12.0 cm apart and L = 45.0 cm long. The rod
carries a current of I = 48.0 A (in the direction shown) and rolls along the rails
without slipping. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.240 T is directed
perpendicular to the rod and the rails. If it starts from rest, what is the speed of
the rod as it leaves the rails?

Review Problem. A rod of mass m and radius R rests on two parallel rails
(Fig. P29.15) that are a distance d apart and have a length L. The rod carries a
current I (in the direction shown) and rolls along the rails without slipping. A

uniform magnetic field B is directed perpendicular to the rod and the rails. If it
starts from rest, what is the speed of the rod as it leaves the rails?

In Figure P29.18, the cube is 40.0 cm on each edge. Four straight segments
of wireab, bc, cd, and daform a closed loop that carries a current I = 5.00 A, in
the direction shown. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.020 0 T is in
the positive y direction. Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic
force on each segment.

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.20 1026 kg. After being
accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 833 V, the ion enters a
magnetic field of 0.920 T along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the
field. Calculate the radius of the path of the ion in the field.

A velocity selector consists of electric and magnetic fields described by the

expressions E = E k and B = B j , with B = 15.0 mT. Find the value of E such that a
750-eV electron moving along the positive x axis is undeflected.

At the Fermilab accelerator in Batavia, Illinois, protons having momentum
4.80 1016 kg m/s are held in a circular orbit of radius 1.00 km by an upward
magnetic field. What is the magnitude of this field?
