Question

2. A 5 g bullet has been fired along west with 500m/s. It gains 20 electrons while passes through the uniform magnetic field of 0.05mT region acting along North. How much magnetic force the bullet would experience?

3. A long straight vertical wire carries an upward current of I1 = 10 A. A rectangular coil of wire is located near the vertical wire as shown in the figure at right. If a = 10 cm, b = 30 cm, c = 50 cm, and I2 = 5 A, what is the net force on the rectangular coil due to the magnetic field of the straight line?

Explanation / Answer

Number 1)

Apply F = qvB

F = (20)(1.6 X 10-19)(500)(.05 X 10-3)

F = 8 X 10-20 N

Number 2)

Only the parallel portions of the loop factor in. The formula that applies is

F = uIIL/2pir for the two sides of the loop

F = (4pi X 10-7)(10)(5)(.5)/2pi(.1) - (4pi X 10-7)(10)(5)(.5)/2pi(.4)

F = 3.75 X 10-5 N away from the wire
