A magnetic field is a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any point is specified by two values, the direction and the magnitude; such that it is a vector field. Mathematically it is described as,

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}$

Here

$\mu_0$ = Permeability at free space constant

$I_{1,2}$ = Current at each object

d = Distance to the center point of the two object

Two magnetic field due to the current in the same directions then is,

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2\pi d_1}+\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2\pi d_2}$

Replacing,

$B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(8)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}+\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(12)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}$

$B = 8*10^{-4} +12*10^{-4}$

$B = 20*10^{-4}T$

Therefore the correct answer is E.

A 1.8-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A force of 40 N stretches a spring 20 cm

Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) k = 200 N/m

b) E = 4 J

c) Δx = 6.3 cm

Explanation:

a)

In order to find force constant of the spring, k, we can use the the Hooke's Law, which reads as follows:

$F = - k * \Delta x (1)$

where F = 40 N and Δx =- 0.2 m (since the force opposes to the displacement from the equilibrium position, we say that it's a restoring force).
Solving for k:

$k =- \frac{F}{\Delta x} =-\frac{40 N}{-0.2m} = 200 N/m (2)$

b)

Assuming no friction present, total mechanical energy mus keep constant.
When the spring is stretched, all the energy is elastic potential, and can be expressed as follows:

$U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} (3)$

Replacing k and Δx by their values, we get:

$U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 200 N/m* (0.2m)^{2} = 4 J (4)$

c)

When the object is oscillating, at any time, its energy will be part elastic potential, and part kinetic energy.
We know that due to the conservation of energy, this sum will be equal to the total energy that we found in b).
So, we can write the following expression:

$\frac{1}{2}* k* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*k*\Delta x^{2} (5)$

Replacing the right side of (5) with (4), k, m, and v by the givens, and simplifying, we can solve for Δx₁, as follows:

$\frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * 1.8kg* (-2.0m/s)^{2} = 4J (6)$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} = 4J - 3.6 J = 0.4 J (7)$

⇒ $\Delta x_{1} = \sqrt{\frac{0.8J}{200N/m} } = 6.3 cm (8)$

A square loop of side 7 cm is placed with the nearest side 2 cm from a long wire carrying a current that varies with time at a c

ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

side of the square loop, a = 7 cm

distance of the nearest side from long wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

di/dt = 9 A/s

Integrate on both the sides

$\int _{0}^{i}di =9\int _{0}^{t}dt$

i = 9t

(a) The magnetic field due to the current carrying wire at a distance r is given by

$B = \frac{\mu_{0}i}{2\pi r}$

$B = \frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t}{2\pi r}$

(b)

Magnetic flux,

$\phi=\int B\times a dr$

$\phi=\int \frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t}{2\pi r}\times a dr$

$\phi=\frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t\times a}{2\pi}\times ln\left ( \frac{2 + 7}{2} \right )$

$\phi=\frac{\mu_{0}\times 9t\times 0.07}{2\pi}\times ln(4.5)$

$\phi = 1.89 \times 10^{-7}t$

(c)

R = 3 ohm

$e = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

magnitude of voltage is

e = 1.89 x 10^-7 V

induced current, i = e / R = (1.89 x 10^-7) / 3

i = 6.3 x 10^-8 A
