g semi-infinite wire segment that lies along the negative y axis and carries current of 548 Amperes in the positive y direction.

Answer:

The magnetic field at a point (4.5, 0, 0) from the wire lying in the negative y-axis, with current flowing in the positive y-direction is directed in the positive z-direction.

Explanation:

The Biot Savart Law explains that the magnetic field experienced as a result of a wire of a particular length at a point r, from the wire is given as

dB = (μ₀/4π) ∫ (ds × ř)/r²

where ds = direction vector for the flow of current

ř = unit vector in the direction of the point where the magnetic field is required.

r = magnitude of the direction vector from the wire, to the point where the magnetic field is required.

Basically, the magnetic field is an integral sum of the vector product of ds and the unit vector in the direction of the point r where the magnetic field is required at that point all multiplied with (μ₀/4πr²)

This question requires only the direction of this magnetic field. This would be obtained from just the vector product of ds and ř.

ds = positive y-direction = (0, ds, 0)

wire segment that lies along the negative y axis and point P is located at (4.5 cm, 0, 0)

r = (4.5, 0, 0) - (0, -y, 0) = (4.5, y, 0)

Since we're not concerned about the magnitude, we can write the unit vector as

ř = (x, y, 0)

Direction of B is obtained from

(0î + dsj + 0k) × (xî + yj + 0k)

=

| î j k |

|0 ds 0|

|x y 0|

= î(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(xds- 0)

= 0î + 0j + xdsk

This means that the magnetic field at a point (4.5, 0, 0) from the wire lying in the negative y-axis, with current flowing in the positive y-direction is directed in the positive z-direction.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which items are matter?
Mumz [18]
Without being provided a list of items, I would have to generally say that everything around you is matter. There are a few exceptions to this list, but a general rule of thumb is anything you can touch, taste, smell or hold would be considered matter. Sound, light, time (Dr. Who may disagree) and heat would be considered non-matter items.

The orbit of mars is never far from the ecliptic. why?
LekaFEV [45]
The plane of the ecliptic is an imaginary plane that passes from the Sun through the Earth. So Earth has an inclination of zero degrees from the plane.

All planets of our Solar System do not lie in this imaginary plane.

Mars is less than 2 degrees off which is why it appears to be centralized. Jupiter is also less than 2 degrees off. But some such as the Plutoid or Dwarf Planet Pluto can be off as much as 17 degrees.


Hope this gives you a bit understanding!
