Figure 28-22 shows three situations in which a positively charged particle moves at velocity \(\vec v\) through a uniform magnetic field \(\vec B\) and experiences a magnetic force \(\vec F_{B}\). In each situation, determine whether the orientations of the vectors are physically reasonable. Text Transcription: vec v vec B vec F_B

Question
A stationary circular wall clock has a face with a radius of
15 cm. Six turns of wire are wound around its perimeter; the wire
carries a current of 2.0 A in the clockwise direction. The clock is located
where there is a constant, uniform external magnetic field
of magnitude 70 mT (but the clock still keeps perfect time). At exactly
1:00 p.m., the hour hand of the clock points in the direction
of the external magnetic field. (a) After how many minutes will the
minute hand point in the direction of the torque on the winding
due to the magnetic field? (b) Find the torque magnitude.
Solution
The first step in solving 28 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A stationary circular wall clock has a face with a radius of15 cm. Six turns of wire are wound around its perimeter; the wirecarries a current of 2.0 A in the clockwise direction. The clock is locatedwhere there is a constant, uniform external magnetic fieldof magnitude 70 mT (but the clock still keeps perfect time). At exactly1:00 p.m., the hour hand of the clock points in the directionof the external magnetic field. (a) After how many minutes will theminute hand point in the direction of the torque on the windingdue to the magnetic field? (b) Find the torque magnitude.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
