A long straight wire carries a current of 50 A. An electron, traveling at1.0×107m/s, is 5.0 cm from the wire. What is the magnit

ude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire, (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current, and (c) perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b)?

Answer:

Recall, The magnetic field on a electron in a wire, Bₓ = (µ₀ I)/(2πr)

Note: Magnetic force direction is at right angles to electron motion.

Magnetic force, F = q * v * Bₓ

Substituting Bₓ into F, we have

F = q * v * Bₓ = (q * v * µ₀* I)/(2π r) = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.0 x 10⁷ x 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 50)/( 2π x 5 x 10⁻²) = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

a) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and opposite the current

b) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and away from the wire.

c) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic forces on the electrons if the electron velocity is perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b) is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and (a) direction - opposite the current, (b) same direction as current.

A wave with a height of 6 would have greater amplitude than a wave with a height of 5 true or false? HELP
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

it could be either or because it doesnt just depend on the height but it also depends on the pressure but then again the question didnt ask anything about the pressure so the answer should be true

A Smart Car, which has a mass of 1000 kg, is going 20 m/s. When it hits the barrier, it stops with a time of 0.5 seconds. What i
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

     = 1000 (0 - 20)

     = 1000 (-20)

     = -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.
