Question



I For parts (b) - (d), assume the wire carries a current directed out of the page.
(b) What is the direction of the magnetic field generated by the wire at point 1?
_____

The figure below shows a current carrying wire located at the origin; the wire carries a current of I = 4.9 A. Points 1, 2, and 3, are all on a circle with radius 13.0 cm which is centered on the origin. (All directions below should be an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x axis to the direction the field points.) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by the wire at any point on the circle? I For parts (b) - (d), assume the wire carries a current directed out of the page. What is the direction of the magnetic field generated by the wire at point 1?

Explanation / Answer

the magnetic field generated is equal to = [mue]I/2*r

so we put the values of I and r to get the value of the respective magnetic field

b]the direction of the magnetic at point 1 is towards the positive y axis

c] at point 2 is directed towards the -tive x axis

d]at point three it is parallel to y =-x that is 45 degree to the positve x axis

e]at point 1 =-y axis

f] towards positive x axis

g]towards the line y=x
