Chapter 29 Problem 75

Question

Figure 29-80 shows a wire segment of length /).s = 3.0 cm, centered at the origin, carrying current i = 2.0 A in the positive y direction (as part of some complete circuit). To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field lJ produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B = (/Lo/41T)i /).s (sin 8)/ras the Biot-Savart law. This is because rand 8 are essentially conz Fig. 29-80 75. stant over the segment. Calculate lJ (in unit-vector notation) at the (x, y, z) coordinates (a) (0,0,5.0 m), (b) (0,6.0 m, 0), (c) (7.0 m, 7.0 m, 0), and (d) ( - 3.0 m, -4.0 m,O).

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 75 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 29-80 shows a wire segment of length /).s = 3.0 cm, centered at the origin, carrying current i = 2.0 A in the positive y direction (as part of some complete circuit). To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field lJ produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B = (/Lo/41T)i /).s (sin 8)/ras the Biot-Savart law. This is because rand 8 are essentially conz Fig. 29-80 75. stant over the segment. Calculate lJ (in unit-vector notation) at the (x, y, z) coordinates (a) (0,0,5.0 m), (b) (0,6.0 m, 0), (c) (7.0 m, 7.0 m, 0), and (d) ( - 3.0 m, -4.0 m,O).
From the textbook chapter MAGNETIC FIELDS DUE TO CURRENTS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
