Problem 5: Since moving charges create magnetic fields, and magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges, devices which are used to measure field strengths often affect the system they are being used to measure. Consider the wire segment in the figure, which is used to measure the magnetic field B by determining the force exerted on the current flowing through it.

Randomized VariablesI = 3 A 50% Part (a) Estimate the field the loop creates by calculating the field at the center of a circular loop 20.0 cm in diameter carrying 3 A. B =

Explanation / Answer

a)

r=d/2 =10 cm

Mangetic field at center of wire

B=uo*I/2r

B=(4pi*10-7)*3/2*(0.1)

B=1.885*10-5 T

b)

B=1.885*10-5/(0.01/100)

B=0.1885 T
