A long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 20 A. If the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 4.0\times 10^{-5}~\text{T}4.0×10 ​−5 ​​ T that is directed vertically downward, what is the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 20 cm above the wire?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

vertical magnetic field B_v = 4 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Magnetic field due to horizontal current at point 20 cm above

= (μ₀/4π ) x (2i / R)

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 20/ 20 x 10⁻²

= 2 x 10⁻⁵ T

It will act  coming out of paper. Hence it will be normal to magnetic field given .

So resultant magnetic field

= √ (4² + 2²) x 10⁻⁵ T

= 4.47 X 10⁻⁵ T .

The resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 20 cm above the wire is; B = 44.72 μT

We are given;

Vertical magnetic field; B_v = 4 × 10^(-5) T

Horizontal Current; I = 20A

Distance; r = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Formula for the horizontal magnetic field from bio savart's law is;

B_h = (μ₀ × 2I)/(4πr)

Where;

μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ m/A.

Thus;

B_h = (4π x 10⁻⁷ × 2 × 20)/(4π × 0.2)

B_h = 2 × 10^(-5) T

Thus, resultant magnitude of magnetic field is;

B = √(2 × 10^(-5))² + (4 × 10^(-5))²

B = 44.72 × 10^(-6) T

B = 44.72 μT
