V = v B l = (8.00 m/s)(500 x 10-4

T)(0.300 m) = 0.120 V

c. Find the magnitude of the electric field in the rod.

V = E d

E = V/ d = (0.120 V)/(0.300 m) = 0.400 V/m

8. Two long straight parallel wires are 15 cm apart. Wire A carries 2.0 A current. Wire B’s

current is 4.0 A in the same direction.

a. Determine the magnetic field magnitude due to wire A at the position of wire B.

BA = 0 IA/(2r) = (4 x 10-7

Tm/A)(2.00 A)/(2(0.150 m)) = 2.67 x 10-6

T

b. Determine the magnetic field due to wire B at the position of wire A.

BB = 0 IB /(2r) = (4 x 10-7

Tm/A)(4.00 A)/(2(0.150 m)) = 5.33 x 10-6

T

c. Are these two magnetic fields equal and opposite? Why or why not?

Since two wires carry different currents, we cannot expect the magnetic fields to be the same in

magnitude. The two magnetic fields do point in the opposite direction though (use the right

hand rule)

d. Determine the force on wire A due to wire B, and the force on wire B due to wire A.

Are these two forces equal and opposite? Why or why not?

FAB /L = 0 IA IB /(2r) = (4 x 10-7

Tm/A)(2.00 A)(4.00 A)/(2(0.150 m)) = 1.07 x 10-5

N,

toward wire A

FBA /L = 0 IB IA /(2r) = (4 x 10-7

Tm/A)(4.00 A) (2.00 A)/(2(0.150 m)) = 1.07 x 10-5

N,

toward wire B

Yes, the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction just as they should be according

to the Second Newton’s Law.

9. At the equator, a 100 turn circular coil with a cross-sectional area of 300 cm2 and a

resistance of 15.0 is aligned with its plane perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field

of 0.7 G. As the coil is realigned with its plane now parallel to the magnetic field,

a. What is the average emf induced in the coil if it takes 20.0 ms to realign the coil?

i = B Ai cos i = (0.700 x 10-4

T) (300 x 10-4

f = B Af cos f = (0.700 x 10-4

T) (300 x 10-4

m2

) cos(90o) = 0

= - (100)(0 – 2.10 x 10-6

Wb)/(0.0200 s) = 0.0105 V

b. What is the current flowing through the coil?

I = / R = (0.0105 V)/(15.0 ) = 0.000700 A

10. Given the network, write equations that would allow you to solve for the currents in each

resistor if the values of the emfs and resistances were known. Label and indicate your choices

for current directions. DO NOT SOLVE THE EQUATIONS.

I’ll let you

handle this one yourselves.
