Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current

1 answer:

7 0

A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

A) Net force in component form: $F=100.0i-300.0j$

B) Magnitude of the net force: 316.2, direction: $-71.6^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The three forces given in this problem are:

$F_1=300i+500j$

$F_2=-200i$

$F_3=-800 j$

The three forces are given in component form, where the components with unit vector i is the component along the x-direction, while the components with unit vector j is the component along the y-direction.

In order to find the net force in component form, we just need to add the components of the three forces along each direction. Therefore:

- Along the x-direction:

$F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}+F_{3x}=300+(-200)+0=100$

- Along the y-direction:

$F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}+F_{3y}=500+0+(-800)=-300$

So, the net force in component form is

$F=100.0i-300.0j$

The magnitude of a vector F is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

$|F|=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

where in this problem,

$F_x=100$ is the x-component

$F_y=-300$ is the y-component

Substituting,

$|F|=\sqrt{(100)^2+(-300)^2}=316.2$

The direction instead is given by

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-300}{100})=-71.6^{\circ}$

where the negative sign means the direction is below the positive x-axis.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

7500 N/m²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 300 N

Area (A) = 400 cm²
