Usually the force on amagnet (or piece of magnetized matter) is pictured as the interaction of that magnet with the magnetic field at itslocation (the field being generated by other magnets or currents). More fundamentally, the force arises from theinteraction of individual moving charges within a magnet with the local magnetic field. This force is written, where is the force, is the individual charge (which can be negative), is its velocity, and is thelocal magnetic field.This force is nonintuitive, as it involves the vector product (or cross product) of the vectors and . In thefollowing questions we assume that the coordinate system being used has the conventional arrangement of the axes,such that it satisfies, where , , and are the unit vectors along the respective axes.Let's go through the right-hand rule. Starting with the generic vector cross-product equationpoint yourforefinger of your right hand in the direction of , and point your middle finger in the direction of . Your thumbwill then be pointing in the direction of .Part AConsider the specific example of a positive charge moving in the x direction with the local magnetic field inthe y direction. In which direction is the magnetic force acting on the particle?Express your answer using unit vectors (e.g.,ANSWER:Direction of- ). (Recall thatis written x u n i t . ) Part BNow consider the example of a positive charge moving in the x direction with the local magnetic field in the z direction. In which direction is the magnetic force acting on the particle?Express your answer using unit vectors.ANSWER:Direction of Part C1 of 1317/4/07 16:06

If the local magnetic field is in the z direction, what isthe direction of the magnetic force acting on the particle?Hint C.1 Finding the cross productThe direction can be found by any of the usual means of finding the cross product:1. Use the determinant expression for the cross product. (See your math or physics text.)2. Use the general definition,where any term with the three directions in the normal order of xyz or any cyclical permutation (e.g., yzx orzxy) has a positive sign, and terms with the other order (xzy, zyx, or yxz) have a negative sign.Express the direction of the force in terms of , as a linear combination of unit vectors,, and .ANSWER:Direction of, Part DFirst find the magnitude of the force on a positive charge in the case that the velocitythe magnetic field (of magnitude ) are perpendicular.Express your answer in terms of , ,statement.ANSWER:(of magnitude ) and, and other quantities given in the problem Part ENow consider the example of a positive charge moving in the -z direction with speed with the local magneticfield of magnitude in the z direction. Find , the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the particle.Express your answer in terms of , ,statement.ANSWER:, and other quantities given in the problem 0There is no magnetic force on a charge moving parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field. Equivalently, themagnetic force is proportional to the component of velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field.Part FNow consider the case in which the positive charge is moving in the yz plane with a speed at an angle withthe z axis as shown (with the magnetic field still in the z direction with magnitude ).

Electromagnetic Velocity FilterWhen a particle with charge moves across a magnetic field of magnitude , it experiences a force to the side. Ifthe proper electric field is simultaneously applied, the electric force on the charge will be in such a direction as tocancel the magnetic force with the result that the particle will travel in a straight line. The balancing conditionprovides a relationship involving the velocity of the particle. In this problem you will figure out how to arrangethe fields to create this balance and then determine this relationship.Part AConsider the arrangement of ion source and electric field plates shown in the figure. The ion source sends particleswith velocity along the positive x axis. They encounter electric field platesspaced a distance apart that generate a uniform electric field of magnitudein the y direction. To cancel the resulting electric force with a magneticforce, a magnetic field (not shown) must be added in which direction? Usingthe right-hand rule, you can see that the positive z axis is directed out of thescreen.Hint A.1 Method for determining directionHint not displayedHint A.2 Right-hand ruleHint not displayedChoose the direction of.ANSWER: Answer not displayedPart BPart not displayedPart CPart not displayedA Conductor Moving in a Magnetic FieldA metal cube with sides of length is moving at velocityacross a uniform magnetic field. The cube isoriented so that four of its edges are parallel to its direction of motion (i.e., the normal vector of two faces areparallel to the direction of motion).3 of 1317/4/07 16:06

MasteringPhysics: Assignment Print nmentPrint?assig.Part AFind , the electric field inside the cube.Hint A.1 Net force on charges in a conductorElectrons in a conductor are more or less free to move within the conductor. As a result electrons in a conductorplaced in an electric field (with no magnetic field present) will move until the electic field that they generateinside the conductor cancels the applied field (i.e., until the net internal electric field equals zero). In general, thecharges in a conductor move until the net force on them is zero. This happens almost instantaneously in a goodconductor.In this problem, there is no external electric field but there is a force on the electrons due to the applied magneticfield. The electrons will thus move in such a way as to create an electric field that will cancel the magnetic forceon them (leaving a net force of zero on the electrons).Part A.2 Find the magnetic force magnitudeWhat iscube?, the magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field exerted on an electron with chargeExpress your answer in terms of some or all of the variables ,ANSWER:, andinside the. Part A.3 Find the magnetic force directionUse the vector equationfield.

Now, instead of electrons, suppose that the free charges have positive charge . Examples include "holes" insemiconductors and positive ions in liquids, each of which act as "conductors" for their free charges.Part BIf one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers, in what direction does the inducedelectric field point?4 of 1317/4/07 16:06

MasteringPhysics: Assignment Print nmentPrint?assig.ANSWER:The direction of the electric field stays the same regardless of the sign of the charges that are free to move in theconductor.Mathematically, you can see that this must be true since the expression you derived for the electric field isindependent of .Physically, this is because the force due to the magnetic field changes sign as well and causes positive chargesto move in thedirection (as opposed to pushing negative charges in thedirection). Therefore the resultis always the same: positive charges on theside and negative charges on theside. Because the electricfield goes from positive to negative charges will always point in thedirection (given the originaldirections ofand ).Rail GunA Rail Gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism ofacceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass andelectrical resistance rests on parallel horizontal rails (that have negligible electric resistance), which are a distanceapart. The rails are also connected to a voltage source , so a current loop is formed.The rod begins to move if the externally applied vertical magnetic field inwhich the rod is located reaches the value . Assume that the rod has a slightlyflattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling. Use for the magnitude ofthe acceleration due to gravity.Part AFind , the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails.Hint A.1 How to approach this problemHint not displayedPart A.2 Force due to the magnetic fieldPart not displayedPart A.3 Frictional forcePart not displayedExpress the coefficient of static friction in terms of variables given in the introduction.ANSWER: Charge moving in Cyclotron Orbits5 of 1317/4/07 16:06

J. Thomson is best known for his discoveries about the nature of cathode rays. Another important contributionof his was the invention, together with one of his students, of the mass spectrometer. The ratio of mass to(positive) charge of an ion may be accurately determined in a mass spectrometer. In essence, the spectrometerconsists of two regions: one that accelerates the ion through a potential and a second that measures its radius ofcurvature in a perpendicular magnetic field.The ion begins at potential and is accelerated toward zero potential. When theparticle exits the region with the electric field it will have obtained a speed .Part AWith what speed does the ion exit the acceleration region?Hint A.1 Suggested general methodPerhaps the easiest method to use for solving this problem is conservation of energy.Part A.2 Initial energyFind the initial total mechanical energyExpressANSWER:in terms of, ,(which includes electric potential energy) of the particle., and any constants.

The, and any necessary constants. By sending atoms of various elements through a mass spectrometer, Thomson's student, Francis Aston,discovered that some elements actually contained atoms with several different masses. Atoms of the sameelement with different masses can only be explained by the existence of a third subatomic particle in addition toprotons and electrons: the neutron.Torques on Magnetic Dipoles in Uniform FieldTorque on a Current Loop in a Magnetic FieldLearning Goal: To understand the origin of the torque on a current loop due to the magnetic forces on thecurrent-carrying wires and to introduce the magnetic moment of the loop .This problem will show you how to calculate the torgue on a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field.

The forces are symbolized by the redarrows.ANSWER:A B CDThe forces on these parts of the loop don't cause a motion of the center of mass, since they are equal andopposite, but they do produce a net torque for general , since their lines of action do not pass through thecenter of mass of the loop.Part A.3 Force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic fieldFind , the magnitude of the force on each of the vertical wires (those with length ).Hint A.3.a Relevant equationHint not displayedExpressin terms of , , , andANSWER:.

MasteringPhysics: Assignment Print t/assignmentPrint?assig. Part A.5 Forces on the parts of the loop that have lengthAs current is moving through the loop, forces act on its different parts. These result from Lorentz forces on thecharges that move through the wire. What can you say about the forces on the two pieces of wire of length ?Select the most accurate qualitative description from the following list.ANSWER:The forces point away from the center of the loop and cancel each other.The forces act as a torque about an axis through the midpoints of the two two pieces of lengthb and make the loop turn in the direction of positive .The forces point toward the center of the loop and cancel each other.Both forces point upward perpendicular to and .Since the forces on these two parts of the loop cancel out, and their line of action goes through the center ofmass of the loop, we need not consider them in the calculation of the torque on the loop. The key is that theforces are in line, so their torque contributions about any point cancel.Express the magnitude of the torque in terms of the given variables.
