116 Questions for Chapter 29: The Magnetic Field

What currents are needed to generate the magnetic field strengths of Table 29.1 at a point role="math" localid="1649182206366" 1.0cm from a long, straight wire?

The element niobium, which is a metal, is a superconductor (i.e., no electrical resistance) at temperatures below 9K. How-ever, the superconductivity is destroyed if the magnetic field at the surface of the metal reaches or exceeds 0.10T. What is the maximum current in a straight, 3.0-mm-diam

Although the evidence is weak, there has been concern in re-cent years over possible health effects from the magnetic fields generated by electric transmission lines. A typical high-voltage transmission line is20m above the ground and carries a 200A current at a potential of110KV

What is the magnetic field strength at points 2 to 4 in FIGURE EX29.1? Assume that the wires overlap closely at 2 and 3 , that each point is the same distance from nearby wires, and that all other wires are too far away to contribute to the field.

The lightweight glass sphere in FIGURE Q29.1 hangs by a thread. The north pole of a bar magnet is brought near the sphere.

You have a horizontal cathode-ray tube (CRT) for which the controls have been adjusted such that the electron beam should make a single spot of light exactly in the center of the screen. You observe, however, that the spot is deflected to the right. It is possible that the CRT is broken. But as a clever scientist, you realize that your laboratory might be in either an electric or a magnetic field. Assuming that you do not have a compass, any magnets, or any charged rods, how can you use the CRT itself to determine whether the CRT is broken, is in an electric field, or is in a magnetic field? You cannot remove the CRT from the room.

The south pole of a bar magnet is brought toward the current loop of FIGURE Q29.11. Does the bar magnet attract, repel, or have no effect on the loop? Explain.
