Answer:

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C towards the filament

Explanation:

Electric field due to a line charge is given by the expression

E = $[tex]\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\times\epsilon_0\times r}$ [/tex]

where λ is linear charge density of line charge , r is distance of given point from line charge and ε₀ is a constant called permittivity and whose value is

8.85 x 10⁻¹².

Putting the given values in the equation given above

E = $\frac{92\times10^{-6}}{2\times3.14\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times10^{-1}}$

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C

Answer:

The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the current element $dl=(0.5\times10^{-3})j$

Current in y direction = 5.40 A

Point P located at $\vec{r}=(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

The distance is

$|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(0.730)^2+(0.390)^2}$

$|\vec{r}|=0.827\ m$

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using Biot-savart law

$B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\timesI\times\dfrac{\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}|^3}$

Put the value into the formula

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k}{(0.827)^3}$

We need to calculate the value of $\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=i(0.350\times0.5\times10^{-3}-0)+k(0+0.730\times0.5\times10^{-3})$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=0.000175i+0.000365k$

Put the value into the formula of magnetic field

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.000175i+0.000365k)}{(0.827)^3}$

$B=1.670\times10^{-10}i+3.484\times10^{-10}k$

Hence, The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$
