Problem 53GP Bats are capable of navigating using the earth’s field—a plus for an animal that may fly great distances from its roost at night. If, while sleeping during the day, bats are exposed to a field of a similar magnitude but different direction than the earth’s field, they are more likely to lose their way during their next lengthy night flight. Suppose you are a researcher doing such an experiment in a location where the earth’s field is 50 ?T at a 60° angle below horizontal. You make a 50-cm-diameter, 100-turn coil around a roosting box; the sleeping bats are at the center of the coil. You wish to pass a current through the coil to produce a field that, when combined with the earth’s field, creates a net field with the same strength and dip angle (60° below horizontal) as the earth’s field but with a horizontal component that points south rather than north. What are the proper orientation of the coil and the

Problem 54GP At the equator, the earth’s field is essentially horizontal; near the north pole, it is nearly vertical. In between, the angle varies. As you move farther north, the dip angle, the angle of the earth’s field below horizontal, steadily increases. Green turtles seem to use this dip angle to determine their latitude. Suppose you are a researcher wanting to test this idea. You have gathered green turtle hatchlings from a beach where the magnetic field strength is 50 ?T and the dip angle is 56°. You then put the turtles in a 1.2-m-diameter circular tank and monitor the direction in which they swim as you vary the magnetic field in the tank. You change the field by passing a current through a 100-turn horizontal coil wrapped around the tank. This creates a field that adds to that of the earth. What current should you pass through the coil, and in what direction, to produce a net field in the center of the tank that has a dip angle of 62°?

Problem 55GP Internal components of cathode-ray-tube televisions and computer monitors can become magnetized; the resulting magnetic field can deflect the electron beam and distort the colors on the screen. Demagnetization can be accomplished with a coil of wire whose current switches direction rapidly and gradually decreases in amplitude. Explain what effect this will have on the magnetic moments of the magnetic materials in the device, and how this might eliminate any magnetic ordering.

Problem 60GP A mass spectrometer is designed to separate atoms of carbon to determine the fraction of different isotopes. (Isotopes of an element, as we will see in Chapter 30, have the same atomic number but different atomic mass, due to different numbers of neutrons.) There are three main isotopes of carbon, with the following atomic masses: Atomic masses 12C 1.99 × 10?26 kg 13C 2.16 × 10?26kg 4C 2.33 × 10?26 kg The atoms of carbon are singly ionized and enter a mass spectrometer with magnetic field strength B = 0.200 T at a speed of 1.50 × 105 m/s.

Problem 62PP The Velocity Selector In experiments where all the charged particles in a beam are required to have the same velocity (for example, when entering a mass spectrometer), scientists use a velocity selector. A velocity selector has a region of uniform electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the motion of the charged particles. Both the electric and magnetic fields exert a force on the charged particles. If a particle has precisely the right velocity, the two forces exactly cancel and the particle is not deflected. Equating the forces due to the electric field and the magnetic field gives the following equation: A particle moving at this velocity will pass through the region of uniform fields with no deflection, as shown in Figure P24.59. For higher or lower velocities than this, the particles will feel a net force and will be deflected. A slit at the end of the region allows only the particles with the correct velocity to pass. Assuming the particle in Figure P24.59 is positively charged, what are the directions of the forces due to the electric field and to the magnetic field? A. The force due to the electric field is directed up (toward the top of the page); the force due to the magnetic field is directed down (toward the bottom of the page). B. The force due to the electric field is directed down (toward the bottom of the page); the force due to the magnetic field is directed up (toward the top of the page). C. The force due to the electric field is directed out of the plane of the paper; the force due to the magnetic field is directed into the plane of the paper. D. The force due to the electric field is directed into the plane of the paper; the force due to the magnetic field is directed out of the plane of the paper.
