The electric field strength is inversely related to the square of the distance.so the strength of the electric field is given by
Here, is constant depend upon medium and its value is
and q is charge and r is the distance.
Given and we know the charge of proton,
.
Therefore,
Answer:
the magnitude of the torque on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm
the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils = -1.0485 ×10⁻² J
Explanation:
The torque is given by :
where ;
m = 0.160 A.m²
B = 0.0800 T
θ = 35°
So the magnitude of the torque N = mBsinθ
N = (0.160)(0.0800)(sin 35°)
N = 0.007341
N = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm
Hence, the magnitude of the torque on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm
b) The potential energy
U = -mBcosθ
U = (- 0.160)(0.0800)(cos 45)
U = -0.010485
U = -1.0485 ×10⁻² J
Thus, the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils = -1.0485 ×10⁻² J
