A rectangular loop of wire of width 10 cm and length 20 cm has a current of 2.5 A flowing through it. Two sides of the loop are

oriented parallel to a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.037 T, the other two sides being perpendicular to the magnetic field.
A)What is the magnitude of the magnetic moment of the loop?
B)What torque does the magnetic field exert on the loop?

Answer:

(a) 0.05 Am^2

(b) 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Explanation:

width, w = 10 cm = 0.1 m

length, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Current, i = 2.5 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.037 T

(A) Magnetic moment, M = i x A

Where, A be the area of loop

M = 2.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.05 Am^2

(B) Torque, τ = M x B x Sin 90

τ = 0.05 x 0.037 x 1

τ = 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Electric charge on the plastic cube: $1.3\cdot 10^{-7}C$

Explanation:

The electric potential around a charged sphere (such as the Van der Graaf) generator is given by

$V(r)=\frac{kQ}{r}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge on the sphere

r is the distance from the centre of the sphere

Here we have:

V = 200,000 V on the surface of the sphere, so at r = 12.0 cm

We need to find the voltage V' at 2.0 cm from the edge of the sphere, so at

r' = 12.0 + 2.0 = 14.0 cm

Since the voltage is inversely proportional to r, we can use:

$Vr=V'r'\\V'=\frac{Vr}{r'}=\frac{(200,000)(12.0)}{14.0}=171,429 V$

This is the potential at the location of the plastic cube.

Now we can use the law of conservation of energy, which states that the initial electric potential energy of the cube is totally converted into kinetic energy when the plastic cube is at infinite distance from the generator. So we can write:

$qV' = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where:

q is the charge on the plastic cube

V' is the potential at the location of the cube

m = 5.0 g = 0.005 kg is the mass of the cube

v = 3.0 m/s is the final speed of the cube

Solving for q, we find the charge on the cube:

$q=\frac{mv^2}{2V'}=\frac{(0.005)(3.0)^2}{2(171,429)}=1.3\cdot 10^{-7}C$

A 2.0-m-tall man is 5.0 m from the converging lens of a camera. His image appears on a detector that is 50 mm behind the lens. H

ladessa [460]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the magnification equation:

$M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

$h_i$ is the size of the image

$h_o = 2.0 m$ is the height of the real object (the man)

$q=50 mm =0.050 m$ is the distance of the image from the lens

$p = 5.0 m$ is the distance of the object (the man) from the lens

Solving the formula for $h_i$ , we find

$h_i = -\frac{q}{p}h_o=-\frac{0.050 m}{5.0 m}(2.0 m)=-0.02 m = -20 cm$

And the negative sign means the image is inverted.

A stationary particle of charge q = 2.1 × 10-8 c is placed in a laser beam (an electromagnetic wave) whose intensity is 2.9 × 10

alisha [4.7K]

(a) The intensity of the electromagnetic wave is related to the amplitude of the electric field by
$I= \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_0 E^2$
where
I is the intensity
c is the speed of light
$\epsilon_0$ is the electric permittivity
E is the amplitude of the electric field

By substituting the numbers of the problem and re-arranging the equation, we can find E:
$E= \frac{2 I}{c \epsilon_0} = \frac{2 ( 2.9 \cdot 10^3 Wm^{-2})}{(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} Fm^{-1})} =2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C$

Now that we have the intensity of the electric field, we can calculate the electric force on the charge:
$F=qE=(2.1 \cdot 10^{-8} C)(2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C)=0.046 N$

(b) We can calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field starting from the amplitude of the electric field:
$B= \frac{E}{c}= \frac{2.2 \cdot 10^6 N/C}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=7.3 \cdot 10^{-3} T$

The magnetic force is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where v is the particle's speed, B the magnetic field intensity and $\theta$ the angle between B and v.
In this case the charge is stationary, so v=0, and so the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

(c) The electric force has not changed compared to point (a), because it does not depend on the speed of the particle, so we have again F=0.046 N.

(d) This time, the particle is moving with speed $v=3.7 \cdot 10^4 m/s$ , in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field (so, the angle $\theta$ is $90^{\circ}$ ), and so by using the intensity of the magnetic field we found in point (b), we can calculate the magnetic force on the particle:
$F=qvB \sin \theta = (2.1 \cdot 10^{-8}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^4 m/s)(7.3 \cdot 10^{-3} T)(\sin 90^{\circ} )=$
$=5.7 \cdot 10^{-6} N$

A 20.0 kg curling stone travels 30.0 m along the ice surface. If the frictional force is 10.0 N, the thermal energy produced is

evablogger [386]

The thermal energy is where the work of friction comes from. That is what stops it eventually. In this case a counter force of 10N is applied over the distance of 30.0m. The energy is given by Force*Distance. Here this is 300J. This friction work is the thermal energy.
