Chapter 29 Problem 32

Question

The current- carrying wire loop in Fig. 29-59a lies all in one plane and consists of a semicircle of radius 10.0 cm, a smaller semicircle with the same center, and two radial lengths. The smaller semicircle is rotated out of that plane by angle 8, until it is perpendicular to the plane (Fig. 29-59b). Figure 29-59c gives the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature versus angle 8. The vertical scale is set by Ba = 10.0 fLT andBb = 12.0 fLT.Whatis the radius of the smaller semicircle?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 32 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The current- carrying wire loop in Fig. 29-59a lies all in one plane and consists of a semicircle of radius 10.0 cm, a smaller semicircle with the same center, and two radial lengths. The smaller semicircle is rotated out of that plane by angle 8, until it is perpendicular to the plane (Fig. 29-59b). Figure 29-59c gives the magnitude of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature versus angle 8. The vertical scale is set by Ba = 10.0 fLT andBb = 12.0 fLT.Whatis the radius of the smaller semicircle?
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
