Exam 24: Magnetic Fields and Forces

A rectangular coil, with corners labeled ABCD, has length L and width w. It is placed between the poles of a magnet, as shown in the figure If there is a current I flowing through this coil in the direction shown, what is the direction of the force acting on section BC of this coil?

A straight wire carries a current of 10 A at an angle of 30° with respect to the direction of a uniform 0.30-T magnetic field. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on a 0.50-m length of the wire.

Two long parallel wires placed side-by-side on a horizontal table carry identical current straight toward you. From your point of view, the magnetic field at a point exactly between the two wires

A proton moving with a velocity of 4.0 × 10⁴ m/s along the +y-axis enters a magnetic field of 0.20 T directed towards the -x-axis. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the proton? (e = 1.60 × 10^-19C)

In the figure, the rectangular loop is pivoted about one side (of length 0.060 m), that coincides with the y-axis. The end (length 0.020 m) of the loop that lies in the xz-plane makes an angle of 37° with the x-axis as shown. The loop carries a current of I = 69 A in the direction shown. (In the side of the loop that is along the y-axis the current is in the +y direction.) If there is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 9.7 T in the -x direction, find the magnitude of the torque that this magnetic field exerts on the loop.

At a particular instant, an electron moves toward the east in a uniform magnetic field that is directed straight downward. The magnetic force that acts on it is

A long straight wire carrying a 4-A current is placed along the x-axis as shown in the figure. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point P, located at y = 2 cm, due to the current in this wire? (μ₀ = 4π × 10^-7 T ∙ m/A)

A charged particle that is moving in a static uniform magnetic field
