Review. Rail guns have been suggested for launching projectiles into space without chemical rockets. A tabletop model rail gun (Fig. P30.66) consists of two long, parallel, horizontal rails , 5 3.50 cm apart, bridged by a bar of mass m 5 3.00 g that is free to slide without friction. The rails and bar have low electric resistance, and the current is limited to a constant I 5 24.0 A by a power supply that is far to the left of the figure, so it has no magnetic effect on the bar. Figure P30.66 shows the bar at rest at the midpoint of the rails at the moment the current is established. We wish to find the speed with which the bar leaves the rails after being released from the midpoint of the rails. (a) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 1.75 cm from a single long wire carrying a current of 2.40 A.

(c) Argue that this value of the field will be the same at all positions of the bar to the right of the midpoint of the rails. At other points along the bar, the field is in the same direction as at the midpoint, but is larger in magnitude. Assume the average effective magnetic field along the bar is five times larger than the field at the midpoint. With this assumption, find (d) the magnitude and (e) the direction of the force on the bar. (f) Is the bar properly modeled as a particle under constant acceleration? (g) Find the velocity of the bar after it has traveled a distance d 5 130 cm to the end of the rails.

Consider a solenoid of length , and radius a containing N closely spaced turns and carrying a steady current I. (a) In terms of these parameters, find the magnetic field at a point along the axis as a function of position x from the end of the solenoid. (b) Show that as , becomes very long, B approaches m0NI/2, at each end of the solenoid.

We have seen that a long solenoid produces a uniform magnetic field directed along the axis of a cylindrical region. To produce a uniform magnetic field directed parallel to a diameter of a cylindrical region, however, one can use the saddle coils illustrated in Figure P30.70. The loops are wrapped over a long, somewhat flattened tube. Figure P30.70a shows one wrapping of wire around the tube. This wrapping is continued in this manner until the visible side has many long sections of wire carrying current to the left in Figure P30.70a and the back side has many lengths carrying current to the right. The end view of the tube in Figure P30.70b shows these wires and the currents they carry. By wrapping the wires carefully, the distribution of wires can take the shape suggested in the end view such that the overall current distribution is approximately the superposition of two overlapping, circular cylinders of radius R (shown by the dashed lines) with uniformly distributed current, one toward you and one away from you. The current density J is the same for each cylinder. The center of one cylinder is described by a position vector d S relative to the center of the other cylinder. Prove that the magnetic field inside the hollow tube is m0 Jd/2 downward. Suggestion: The use of vector methods simplifies the calculation.

A thin copper bar of length , 5 10.0 cm is supported horizontally by two (nonmagnetic) contacts at its ends. The bar carries a current of I 1 5 100 A in the negative x direction as shown in Figure P30.71. At a distance h 5 0.500 cm below one end of the bar, a long, straight wire carries a current of I 2 5 200 A in the positive z direction. Determine the magnetic force exerted on the bar.

In Figure P30.72, both currents in the infinitely long wires are 8.00 A in the negative x direction. The wires are separated by the distance 2a 5 6.00 cm.

A wire carrying a current I is bent into the shape of an exponential spiral, r 5 e u , from u 5 0 to u 5 2p as suggested in Figure P30.73 (page 934). To complete a loop, the ends of the spiral are connected by a straight wire along the x axis. (a) The angle b between a radial line and its tangent line at any point on a curve r 5 f(u) is related to the function by tan b 5 r dr/du Use this fact to show that b 5 p/4. (b) Find the magnetic field at the origin.

A sphere of radius R has a uniform volume charge density r. When the sphere rotates as a rigid object with angular speed v about an axis through its center (Fig. P30.74), determine (a) the magnetic field at the center of the sphere and (b) the magnetic moment of the sphere.

A long, cylindrical conductor of radius a has two cylindrical cavities each of diameter a through its entire length as shown in the end view of Figure P30.75. A current I is directed out of the page and is uniform through a cross section of the conducting material. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in terms of m0, I, r, and a at (a) point P1 and (b) point P2.

A wire is formed into the shape of a square of edge length L (Fig. P30.76). Show that when the current in the loop is I, the magnetic field at point P a distance x from the center of the square along its axis is B 5 m0IL2 2p1x 2 1 L2 /42"x 2 1 L2 /2

The magnitude of the force on a magnetic dipole m S aligned with a nonuniform magnetic field in the positive x direction is Fx 5 0 m S 0 dB/dx. Suppose two flat loops of wire each have radius R and carry a current I. (a) The loops are parallel to each other and share the same axis. They are separated by a variable distance x .. R. Show that the magnetic force between them varies as 1/x 4. (b) Find the magnitude of this force, taking I 5 10.0 A, R 5 0.500 cm, and x 5 5.00 cm.
