To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the segment at a point several meters from the origin, we can use B ! (m0/4p)i 's (sin u)/r2 as the BiotSavart law. This is because r and u are essentially constant over the segment. Calculate (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,0).

Figure 29-82 shows, in cross section, two long parallel wires spaced by distance d 10.0 cm; each carries 100 A, out of the page in wire 1. Point P is on a perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the wires. In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic field at P if the current in wire 2 is (a) out of the page and (b) into the page?

In Fig. 29-83, two infinitely long wires carry equal currents i. Each follows a 90 arc on the circumference of the same circle of radius R. Show that the magnetic field at the center of the circle is the same as the field a distance R below an infinite straight wire carrying a current i to the left.

A long wire carrying 100 A is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 5.0 mT. At what distance from the wire is the net magnetic field equal to zero?

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (with inner radius 2.0 mm and outer radius 4.0 mm) carries a current of 24 A distributed uniformly across its cross section. A long thin wire that is coaxial with the cylinder carries a current of 24 A in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field (a) 1.0 mm, (b) 3.0 mm, and (c) 5.0 mm from the central axis of the wire and cylinder?

A long wire is known to have a radius greater than 4.0 mm and to carry a current that is uniformly distributed over its cross section. The magnitude of the magnetic field due to that current is 0.28 mT at a point 4.0 mm from the axis of the wire, and 0.20 mT at a point 10 mm from the axis of the wire.What is the radius of the wire?

Figure 29-84 shows a cross section of an infinite conducting sheet carrying a current per unit x-length of l; the current emerges perpendicularly out of the page. (a) Use the BiotSavart law and symmetry to show that for all points P above the sheet and all points P( below it, the magnetic field is parallel to the sheet and directed as shown. (b) Use Amperes law to prove that at all points P and P

Figure 29-85 shows, in cross section, two long parallel wires that are separated by distance d ! 18.6 cm. Each carries 4.23 A, out of the page in wire 1 and into the page in wire 2. In unit-vector notation, what is the net magnetic field at point P at distance R ! 34.2 cm, due to the two currents?

In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic field at point P in Fig. 29-86 if i ! 10 A and a ! 8.0 cm? (Note that the wires are not long.)

Three long wires all lie in an xy plane parallel to the x axis. They are spaced equally, 10 cm apart. The two outer wires each carry a current of 5.0 A in the positive x direction. What is the magnitude of the force on a 3.0 m section of either of the outer wires if the current in the center wire is 3.2 A (a) in the positive x direction and (b) in the negative x direction?

Figure 29-87 shows a cross section of a hollow cylindrical conductor of radii a and b, carrying a uniformly distributed current i. (a) Show that the magnetic field magnitude B(r) for the radial distance r in the range b + r + a is given by (b) Show that when r ! a, this equation gives the magnetic field magnitude B at the surface of a long straight wire carrying current i; when r ! b, it gives zero magnetic field; and when b ! 0, it gives the magnetic field inside a solid conductor of radius a carrying current i. (c) Assume that a ! 2.0 cm, b ! 1.8 cm, and i ! 100 A, and then plot B(r) for the range 0 + r + 6 cm.

Show that the magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the center of a rectangular loop of wire of length L and width W, carrying a current i, is

Figure 29-88 shows a cross section of a long conducting coaxial cable and gives its radii (a, b, c). Equal but opposite currents i are uniformly distributed in the two conductors. Derive expressions for B(r) with radial distance r in the ranges (a) r + c,(b) c + r + b, (c) b + r + a, and (d) r , a. (e) Test these expressions for all the special cases that occur to you. (f) Assume that a ! 2.0 cm, b ! 1.8 cm, c ! 0.40 cm, and i ! 120 A and plot the function B(r) over the range 0 + r + 3 cm

Figure 29-89 is an idealized schematic drawing of a rail gun. Projectile P sits between two wide rails of circular cross section; a source of current sends current through the rails and through the (conducting) projectile (a fuse is not used). (a) Let w be the distance between the rails, R the radius of each rail, and i the current. Show that the force on the projectile is directed to the right along the rails and is given approximately by (b) If the projectile starts from the left end of the rails at rest, find the speed v at which it is expelled at the right. Assume that i ! 450 kA, w ! 12 mm, R ! 6.7 cm, L ! 4.0 m, and the projectile mass is 10 g.
