Exercise 44
Step 1
1 of 1
Earth’s magnet can be considered as a bar magnet. Earth’s north geographical pole is the south pole of Earth’s magnet.

Since the magnetic field of a bar magnet points towards the south pole of the bar magnet, Earth’s magnetic field points into the Earth’s surface near the north geographical pole.

Exercise 45
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 2
Since magnetic fields are vectors we use the magnetic field lines to represent the values and direction of the magnetic field vector at any point.

Field lines could never cross, they would not only want to be pointing at two different directions, whether they would point as a resultant vector sum of those two directions. The compass needle is always pointing north of Earth (south magnetic pole). Magnetic field lines come outside of the south pole and get into the north pole, they $textbf{never intersect}$ and the compass needle acts always as a tangent. In other words, they form an endless loop.

One more argument for this is that we always have a magnetic dipole, there are no such things as a magnetic monopole

Result
2 of 2
Magnetic field lines from a magnet are forming an endless loop.
Step 1
1 of 1
Magnetic field points in one direction at any given point.

If magnetic field lines cross then at the point of intersection, magnetic field points in two directions which is impossible.

So magnetic field lines do not cross.

Exercise 46
Step 1
1 of 1
Magnetic field lines do not start or stop at any point.

They form closed loop.

In a bar magnet, magnetic field lines enter the magnet at south pole and leaves the magnet at north pole.

When iron is placed inside the magnetic field, all the domains tend to align with the direction of the magnetic field. These domains are products of the collective magnetic domains of each individual atom.

Their size varies from $10^{-4} mathrm{~cm}$ to $10^{-1} mathrm{~cm}$. Before the external magnetic field, we can simplify the model with the following picture:

Step 2

We can see in the picture above that arrow of each domain is pointing in a different direction, but when the magnetic field from the outside is present, the domain tends to align in the direction of the magnetic field, so these are the domains that grow in size, and the change can be seen on the picture below.Exercise scan

When we talk about $textbf{continental drift}$ we think about how did the continents came to the location on which they are today, and for the $textbf{seafloor spreading}$ we think about what happened and how are tectonics plates looking like before and after continents moved.

Magnetism has a significant role in the proof of this because Earth’s magnetic fields have reversed it more than few times in the past.

After the volcanos erupt they get into the ocean and cool down, since they get into the solid state of matter, they do become permanently magnetized in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Now, this is explored by paleomagnetism, when we analyze the seafloor and the pattern. We see the ridges in the seafloor pattern changing on a specific location. This clearly indicated that when there is a change of ridge patterns is due to the change of Earth’s magnetic field, because magnetization changes. We also see this relative to the direction on the side, which supports the evidence for continental drift. As we can see the seafloor is expanding in time due to the pattern, which indicates the continental drift.

Result
2 of 2
Magnetism and Earth’s magnetic field are direct proof of continental drift and seafloor spreading.

Refrigerator magnet consists of multiple magnetic stripes of opposite poles such that it is similar to the horseshoe magnets placed next to next.

As a result, magnetic field is intense in one side and on the other side it is weak. So the side with intense field stick to the refrigerator and the other side does not.

North geographical pole of Earth is south pole of Earth’s magnetic field.

When a bar magnet is suspended its north pole points towards Earth’s north geographical pole or south pole of Earth’s magnet.

Exercise 51
Step 1

Magnitude of the magnetic field is larger in a region where magnetic field lines are closely spaced than a region where magnetic field lines are widely spaced.

Here we analyze the situation in the picture below and we look at how should we connect the loop to the battery below to attract the magnet.Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 3
We know that when current goes through the loop it is going to produce a magnetic field, that magnetic field direction is going to depend on the direction of the current. Since we want magnets to attract, we want the north pole to show on the right side, if reference on the picture above.

To have that, we also remember that the magnetic field is going outside of the north pole, and getting into the south pole. So, by the right-hand rule to have this situation, we want current to flow $textbf{terminal A to the terminal B}$, in other words, we would like for terminal A to be connected to the positive pole of the battery.

We know that current is by convention flowing from the positive to the negative pole of the battery.

Result
3 of 3
A should be a positive terminal.
Exercise 53
Step 1

In this problem, we analyze the magnetic field of a solenoid. Usually, the magnetic field of a solenoid can be calculated with the following relation:

$$
B=mu_{0}left(frac{N}{L}right) I
$$

where N is exactly the number of the loops of the solenoid and N is the length of the solenoid, or commonly we also call $frac{N}{L}$ number of the loops per length.

Step 2
2 of 3
By doubling the number of the loops we can see that the magnetic field is going to double, but also if we double the length we can see that the magnetic field is going to reduce by a factor of 2. In another word, the ratio $frac{N}{L}$ is going to decrease, so the number of the loops is going to stay the same.

Regarding the $textbf{part b}$ we can see that the explanation C is the best fitting, considering the arguments said above:

$$
textit{C The magnetic field remains the same because the number of loops per length is unchanged.}

Here we analyze the current-carrying loop from the picture below and from the problem statement we know that the magnetic field is pointing out of the page.Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 3
We were supposed to determine, what is the direction of the current. The direction of the current is exactly counterclockwise since, by the right-hand rule, we can determine that.

We point our fingers in the direction of current and the thumb is going to show the direction of the magnetic field. The other way around is also working. The thumb in the direction of the magnetic field (out of the page) and the fingers are going to show the direction of the current, which for this case is counterclockwise.

Result

Exercise 55
Step 1

We have a straight wire that is directing toward us. We wonder which way the magnetic field is showing. This can be determined by the right-hand rule. If point our thumb in the direction of that current (which is toward us – out of the page), then our fingers curl around our tumb in the $textbf{counterclockwise}$ direction.

Exercise 56
Step 1
1 of 1
The magnetic field is given by

$$
B=1 {rm T}=frac{mu_{0}I_{0}}{2pi r_{0}}
$$

1. When current is $2I_{0}$ and distance is $r_{0}$, we have

$$
B_{1}=frac{mu_{0}left(2I_{0}right)}{2pi r_{0}}=2left(frac{mu_{0}I_{0}}{2pi r_{0}}right)=2 {rm T}
$$

2. When the current is $2I_{0}$ and the distance is $2r_{0}$, then
we have

$$
B_{2}=frac{mu_{0}I_{0}}{2pileft(2r_{0}right)}=frac{1}{2}left(frac{mu_{0}I_{0}}{2pi r_{0}}right)=0.5 {rm T}
$$

3. When the current is $4I_{0}$ and the distance is $4r_{0}$, then
we have

$$
B_{3}=frac{mu_{0}left(4I_{0}right)}{2pileft(4r_{0}right)}=frac{4}{4}left(frac{mu_{0}I_{0}}{2pi r_{0}}right)=1 {rm T}

Here we analyze the situation in the picture below and we would like to find out the direction of the magnetic field in the center of the square:Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 4
The magnetic field and its direction can be always determined by the right-hand rule. We know that we point our thumb in the direction of the current and our fingers are going to curl around the wire, the same as the magnetic field is going. So for each conductor, we have a field inside (in the center), as shown in the picture below:Exercise scan
Step 3
3 of 4
From the picture above, we can see that all the fields are pointing up or down. Two of them are going cancel out (up-down), and we are left with the two fields pointing down, so the total field $textbf{at the center}$ s going to point down, as shown in the picture below:

Exercise scan

The magnetic field produced by a long straight wire carrying current $I$ at a point, whose radial distance from the wire is $r$, is given by

$B = dfrac{mu_0 I}{2 pi r}$; where $mu_0 = 4 pi times 10^{-7} : T.m.A^{-1}$.

$B = dfrac{^2cancel{4 pi} times 10^{-7} times I}{cancel{2 pi} r} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{r}$

So the magnetic field produced by a straight wire carrying $5.6:A$ current at a radial distance of $0.22:m$ is

$B = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times 5.6}{0.22} = 51 times 10^{-7}:T$

$B = dfrac{^2 cancel{4 pi} times 10^{-7} times I}{cancel{2 pi} r} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{r}$

Current required to produce a magnetic field of $6.1 times 10^{-6}:T$ at a radial distance of $26:cm = 0.26 :m$ is

$I = dfrac{Br}{2 times 10^{-7}} = dfrac{Br}{2} times 10^7 = dfrac{6.1 times 10^{-6} times 0.26}{2} times 10^7 = 7.93:A$

$B = dfrac{^2 cancel{4 pi} times 10^{-7} times I}{cancel{2 pi} r} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{r}$

The radial distance at which current of $8.6:A$ produces a magnetic field of $3.3 times 10^{-5}:T$ is given by

$r = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{B} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times 8.6}{3.3 times 10^{-5}} =5.2 times 10^{-2}:m = 5.2:cm$

$B = mu_0 times dfrac{N}{L} times I$

where $mu_0 = 4 pi times 10^{-7} :T.m.A^{-1}$

Number of loops required to produce a magnetic field of $0.78:T$ inside a solenoid of length $32:cm = 0.32:m$ carrying $7.7:A$ current is

$N = dfrac{B L}{mu_0 I} = dfrac{0.78 times 0.32}{4 pi times 10^{-7} times 7.7} =0.00257955 times 10^7 = 25796:loops$

$B = mu_0 times dfrac{N}{L} times I$

where $mu_0 = 4 pi times 10^{-7} :T.m.A^{-1}$

Given data are

$dfrac{N}{L} = 1200$ and $I =6.8:A$

So, $B = 4pi times 10^{-7} times 1200 times 6.8 = 102.5 times 10^{-4} :T$

Magnetic field produced by a long straight wire carrying current $I$ at a radial distance $r$ is given by

$B = dfrac{mu_0 I}{2 pi r}$; where $mu_0 = 4pi times 10^{-7}:T.m.A^{-1}$

$B = dfrac{^2cancel{4pi} times 10^{-7} times I}{cancel{2 pi} r} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{r}$

Half of the Earth’s magnetic field is $dfrac{5.0 times 10^{-5}}{2} = 2.5 times 10^{-5}:T$

The current required to produce this field at a radial distance of $0.25:m$ is given by

$I = dfrac{Br}{2 times 10^{-7}} = dfrac{Br}{2} times 10^7 = dfrac{2.5 times 10^{-5} times 0.25}{2} times 10^7 = 31.25:A$

$B = dfrac{^2cancel{4pi} times 10^{-7} times I}{cancel{2 pi} r} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{r}$

The radial distance, at which a long straight wire carrying $3.6:A$ current produces a magnetic field of $3.5 times 10^{-5}:T$, is given by

$r = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times I}{B} = dfrac{2 times 10^{-7} times 3.6}{3.5 times 10^{-5}} = 2.1 times 10^{-2}:m = 2.1:cm$

(a) At point A, the direction of magnetic field produced the both
wire are in same direction, while the magnetic field produced by at

will be higher at A than B.

(b) Magnetic field at A is

$$
B_{A}=frac{mu_{0}I_{x}}{2pi r_{x}}+frac{mu_{0}I_{y}}{2pi r_{y}}=frac{left(1.26times10^{-6} {rm m,kg,s^{-2}A^{-2}}right)left(6.2 {rm A}right)}{2pileft(0.16 {rm m}right)}+frac{left(1.26times10^{-6} {rm m,kg,s^{-2}A^{-2}}right)left(4.5 {rm A}right)}{2pileft(0.16 {rm m}right)}=1.3times10^{-5} {rm T}

Step 1

Here we would like to calculate the total magnetic field of the two current-carrying wires of 11 A, which can be seen in the picture below:Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 3
Since by the right-hand rule, we know that the magnetic field from each current is showing down (thumb showing the direction of the current and fingers show the direction of the magnetic field. The magnetic field can be calculated with the following relation:

$$
B=frac{mu_{0} I}{2 pi r}
$$

where r is the radial distance at the center, which is going to be here half of the distance, which is 12.5 cm. So putting in the numbers we have:

$$
B = frac{left(1.26 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~kg} mathrm{~m} mathrm{~s}^{2} mathrm{~A}^{-2}right)(11 mathrm{~A})}{2 pi(0.125 mathrm{~m})}
$$

which gives the result of:

$$
B=1.77 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}
$$

Since the magnetic fields doubles, due to both wires, the total field will be:

$$
B_{tot} = 2 cdot 1.77 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T} = boxed{color{#c34632}3.53 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}}

Exercise 68
Step 1

Here we calculate the total magnetic field of the currents from two current-carrying wires, as shown in the picture below:Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 4
Since they are both showing the same direction (they have a parallel flow), by the right-hand rule we can see they are going to have a magnetic field in opposite direction. The magnetic fields can be calculated with the relation:

$$
B=frac{mu_{0} I}{2 pi r}
$$

From the relation we can see that field is proportional to the current, so the current on the left is going to produce a stronger field, than the current on the right. So, the total field is going to point upward (determined by the right-hand rule). The $r$, which is the radius is going to be half the distance, which is 6.1 cm. So putting in the numbers for the wire on the left, we got:

$$
B=frac{left(1.26 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~kg} mathrm{~m} mathrm{~s}^{2} mathrm{~A}^{-2}right)(4.33 mathrm{~A})}{2 pi(0.061 mathrm{~m})}
$$

which gives the result of:

$$
B=3.62 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}
$$

For the wire on the right we repeat the same calculation, only we change the current magnitude:

$$
B=frac{left(1.26 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~kg} mathrm{~m} mathrm{~s}^{2} mathrm{~A}^{-2}right)(2.75 mathrm{~A})}{2 pi(0.061 mathrm{~m})}
$$

which gives the result of:

$$
B=9.05 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~T}
$$

Step 3
3 of 4
We already explained in the first paragraph that the total field is going to point upward, now we just calculate the magnitude of the total field, by subtracting the two fields we calculated:

$$
B _{tot} = B_{left} – B_{right}
$$

Putting in the numbers we have:

$$
B _{tot} = 3.62 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T} – 9.05 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~T}
$$

which gives the result of:

$$
boxed{color{#c34632}B _{tot} = 2.72 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}}

B _{tot} = 2.72 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}

The magnetic field inside a solenoid of length $L$ with $N$ number of loops, carrying current $I$ is given by

$B = mu_0 times dfrac{N}{L} times I$

where $mu_0 = 4 pi times 10^{-7} :T.m.A^{-1}$

Number of loops required to produce a magnetic field of $0.25:T$ inside a solenoid of length $55:cm = 0.55:m$ carrying $2.0:A$ current is given by

$N = dfrac{B L}{mu_0 I} = dfrac{0.25 times 0.55}{4 pi times 10^{-7} times 2.0} = 54710:loops$

Length of one loop $=2 pi r$ (Circumference of the loop)

where $r = dfrac{12}{2} = 6:cm$

Length of one loop $=2 pi times 6 = 37.7:cm$

Length of 54710 loops $= 54710 times 37.7 = 20:62:567:cm =20:626:m$

Total length of the wire required is $20:626:m$.

Exercise 70
Step 1

In this problem, we would like to find out the total magnetic field at the point P in the picture below:Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 5
Firstly, we can see that the wire on the right is going to show a field that is pointing down and the wire on the right is producing a field that points to the left, so it is gonna need a more detailed calculation to calculate the direction. The field itself can be calculated by the relation:

$$
B=frac{mu_{0} I}{2 pi r}
$$

For the wire on the left, $r$ is simply 5 cm, so we have:

$$
B=frac{left(1.26 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~kg} mathrm{~m} mathrm{~s}^{2} mathrm{~A}^{-2}right)(3 mathrm{~A})}{2 pi(0.05 mathrm{~m})}
$$

which gives the result of:

$$
B_1=1.2 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}
$$

For the field due to the wire on the right, we first need to calculate the radius. Since in the picture, we can see both of them it 5 cm in both direction by Pythagorean theorem:

$$
r = sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2}}= sqrt{50} = 7.07 mathrm{~cm}=0.07 mathrm{~m}
$$

So for the magnetic field from the wire on the right we have:

$$
B=frac{left(1.26 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~kg} mathrm{~m} mathrm{~s}^{2} mathrm{~A}^{-2}right)(4 mathrm{~A})}{2 pi(0.07 mathrm{~m})}
$$

we have a result of:

$$
B_2=1.15 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
Now, we need to take into account the direction of the magnetic field of the wire on the right to see, where is it pointing. By the right – hand rule, we can see that it is the point in negative -x and negative – y-direction, if we represent with unit vectors it can be written as:

$$
B_{2}=-B_{2} cos 45 -hat{x}-B_{2} sin 45 -hat{y}
$$

The angles are simply coming out from that we have a nice triangle of 45-45-90 degrees. Putting in the sin and cos we have:

$$
B_{2}=0.81 times 10^{-5}hat{x}+0.81 times 10^{-5} -hat{y}
$$

Now we can calculate the total field, which is:

$$
B_{text {tot }}=B_{1}+B_{2}
$$

Putting the numbers and unit vectors we have:

$$
B_{text {tot }}=1.2 times 10^{-5}hat{x}+left(0.81 times 10^{-5}hat{x}-0.81 times 10^{-5} hat{y}right)
$$

which gives:

$$
B_{text {tot }}=4 times 10^{-6} -0.81 times 10^{-5} j
$$

to get the magnitude, we calculate the norm (square of it), so we have:

$$
B_{t o t}=sqrt{left.left(4 times 10^{-6}right)^{2}+left(0.81 times 10^{-5}right)^{2}right]}
$$

which gives the result for the magnitude:

$$
B_{t o t}= 9.03 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~T}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
And finally, to calculate the direction we again use the nice triangle and trigonometry, we know that changes of the angle are simply those two components of the total field (ratio of component y and x):

$$
tan theta = frac{B_y}{B_x}
$$

to get the angle we have:

$$
theta= tan^{-1} frac{0.81 times 10^{-5}} {4 times 10^{-6}}
$$

we get the angle of:

$$
theta= 63.71 ^{circ}
$$

and direction is with this angle, below the horizontal.

Result

$$
B_{t o t}= 9.03 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~T}, theta= 63.71 ^{circ} text{below horizontal}

The magnetic force on charged particle of charge $q$ moving with a velocity $vec{v}$ in a magnetic field $vec{B}$ is given by

$vec{F} = q (vec{v} times vec{B})$

Suppose two charged particles moving with same velocity $vec{v}$ in magnetic field $vec{B}$ are deflected in opposite directions, then the magnetic force acting on them is opposite to each other.

From the force equation, it is possible only if the particles have opposite charges.

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on a wire of length $L$ carrying current $I$, by a magnitic field of magnitude $B$, is given by

$F = IBL sin theta$

where $theta$ is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the wire.

If, $theta = 0^o$, then $sin 0^o = 0$ and consequently the magnetic force on the wire is zero.

So if the wire is placed in the direction of magnetic field, so that $theta = 0^o$, the magnetic force on the wire becomes zero.

Exercise 73
Step 1

Here we analyze the two protons running at the same speed. Proton 1 runs from the east coast to the west coast, and proton two runs from south to Canada. We determine which of them experiences a bigger magnetic force.

The magnitude of the magnetic force can be calculated with the following relation:

$$
F=|q| v B sin theta
$$

where $theta$ is exactly the angle between the speed vector and the magnetic field. Since we know that sine of 0 degrees is zero, so if the speed and magnetic field vector point in the same direction (parallel or antiparallel) the force will be zero.

Also, we know that Earths’ magnetic field is pointing from the south to the north pole. From this said, we can see that angle for proton one will be equal almost to the right angle, and the angle for proton 2 will be equal almost to zero (or very close).

So for the $textbf{part a}$ magnetic field due to the Earth’s magnetic field is much higher for the proton 1.

Regarding the $textbf{part b}$ the correct statement is:

$$
textit{B. Proton 1 experiences the greater force because it
moves at right angles to the magnetic field.}

The magnetic force on a charged particle of charge $q$ moving with velocity $vec{v}$ in the magnetic field $vec{B}$ is given by

$vec{F} = q (vec{v} times vec{B})$

From this equation it is obvious that the force vector $vec{F}$ is always perpendicular to the plane containing the velocity vector $vec{v}$ and the magnetic field vector $vec{B}$.

If an electron moves in the positive $x$ direction (that is,$vec{v}$ points in the positive $x$ direction) and it experiences force in the positive $y$ direction, then the magnetic field vector must lie in the $x-z$ plane,

If the magnitude of the force experienced by the electron is maximum then $vec{v}$ and $vec{B}$ must be perpendicular to each other. So in this case, the magnetic field $vec{B}$ points in the negative $z$ direction. This is because the charge of the electron is negative.

Here electrons are flowing towards the positive terminal. Hence $vec{v}$
is in teh negative $y$ direction. And the magnetic field is from
left to right, hence $vec{B}$ is in positive $x$ direction. and
the charge of the elctron is given by $-e$. Hence the force on the
electron is given by

So the direction will be down wards. Henc the left side will be north

The magnitude of the magnetic force on a straight wire of length $L$ carrying current $I$ lying at an angle $theta$ to magnetic field of magnitude $B$ is given by

If $F=1.6:N$, $L=1.2:m$, $I=3.0:A$ and $B = 0.50:T$ then

$sin theta = dfrac{F}{IBL} = dfrac{1.6}{1.2 times 0.5 times 3} = 0.89$

$theta = sin^{-1}(0.889) = 62.7^o$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is given as $B = 4.1 times 10^{-5}:T$

The angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of motion of proton is, $theta = 90^o$.

So the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is given by

So the current required to levitate the wire is given by

Step 1

Let $q$ is the charge of the particle.

The magnitude of the electric force is given by

$F_{ele} = qE$

where $E$ is the strength of the electric field.

The particle moves perpendicular to the magnetic field of magnitude $B$ with speed $v$. So the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the particle is given by

$F_{mag} = qvB$

The direction of the electric force is in the dircetion of electric field, that is, along the positive $y$ direction. The direction of the magnetic force is along the negative $y$ direction. So both forces act opposite to each other.

When the total force on the particle is zero, the magnitude of electric force and magnetic force must be same. That is,

$F_{ele} = F_{mag}$

$qE = qvB$ or

$v = dfrac{E}{B}$

Substituting the value of fields,

$v = dfrac{450}{0.18} = 2500:m/s$

So the speed required to pass through the velocity selector is $2500:m/s$.

Charge of the electron is, $e=-1.6 times 10^{-19}:C$.

Its speed is given as $v = 9.1 times 10^5:m/s$.

It experiences a force of magnitude $2.0 times 10^{-13}:N$ in the negative $z$ direction, when it moves in the positive $y$ direction.

So the magnitude of the field is

$B = dfrac{F}{|e|v} = dfrac{2.0 times 10^{-13}}{1.6 times 10^{-19} times 9.1 times 10^5} = 1.37:T$

The electron experiences no force when it moves along the positive $x$ direction. This means the angle between the direction of motion of electron and the magnetic field is either $0^o$ or $180^o$.

That is, the magnetic field points either in positive $x$ direction or in negative $x$ direction.

But the electron experiences force in negative $z$ direction when it moves in positive $y$ direction. Since the electron has negative charge, the direction of the magnetic field must be along positive $x$ direction.

Here $q=-e$, and the velocity is in negative $z$ direction and can
be given by $vec{v}=-hat{k}v$ and magnetic field is in positive
$y$ direction and can be written as $vec{B}=hat{j}B$. So the force
is given by

$$
vec{F}=-eleft(-hat{k}vtimeshat{j}Bright)=-hat{i}evB

So force will point towards west.

Here we calculate how much current must pass through the straight wire to produce a magnetic field of 1 T, at a distance of 0.5 m.

From subchapter 22.2. in the book we have a relation how to calculate the magnetic field of a current-carrying wire:

$$

Expressing the current from the previous relation we have:

Here we calculate how many loops per meter in solenoid are needed to produce 17 T magnetic field, while the current of 105 A is flowing.

The magnetic field of the solenoid can be calculated as:

$$
B=mu_{0}left(frac{N}{L}right) I
$$

Where ratio $dfrac{N}{L}$ is exactly the number of loops per meter, where $N$ is the number of loops and $L$ is solenoid length. We can also write this ratio, as simply $n$, so we have:

$$
B=mu_{0} n I
$$

Expressing $n$ from the relation above, we have:

$$
n=frac{B}{mu_{0} I}

Putting in the numbers from the problem statement we have:

$$
n = frac{17 mathrm{~T}}{1.26 times 10^{-6} mathrm{~kg} mathrm{~ms}^{-2} mathrm{~A}^{-2} cdot 105 mathrm{~A}}

Here we analyze the circular motion of the proton. If the speed is increased, the radius it is making in the magnetic field will increase, as well. We know that because magnetic field tends to make charge particle do a $textbf{circular motion}$, so we can equate centripetal force with magnetic force:

$$
m frac{v^{2}}{r}=|q| v B
$$

Expressing the radius from this we have:

$$
r=frac{m v}{|q| B}
$$

Where we can see that speed is proportional to the radius.

Regarding $textbf{part b}$ following said above we can see that the correct explanation will be:

$textit{A. The radius of a circular path in a magnetic field is proportional to the speed of the particle; therefore, the
radius of the proton’s half-circular path segments will increase.}$

Since the wire has a current to the right, according to the right-hand rule in the center for the ring it is going to produce a magnetic field that is out of the loop.

For the loop to counter this magnetic field, we need it to be inside. For the field to point inside, the current must flow counterclockwise and because of the equal distances, $R$ the field in the center of the loop is going to be zero.

The origin of Earth’s magnetic field is still not very clear today, the best suitable theory is a geomagnetic dynamo, where a big current in Earth’s core is being flown and the final result is the field we experience on Earth.

Also, commonly mistaken is that geographic and magnetic fields are the same, but the north geographic pole of Earth is actually near the south pole of Earth’s magnetic field.

The average strength of the Earth’s magnetic field is around $5.0 times 10^{-5} mathrm{~T}$.

The continental drift (moving of the continents) and seafloor patterns have been observed, which are direct proof of Earth’s magnetic field, as the rocks are having specific magnetization when they were cooled in seawater. Lava from vulcanos would cool fast and “capture” Earth’s magnetization at the moment.

This is proof also that Earth’s magnetic field is changing constantly and at one point south and east magnetic poles are going to change, even small “ripples” in change have already been observed in Africa.

The last time this happened between 980,000 years and 780,000 years ago. When this happens again it is not gonna be dangerous, as the field is not so strong on the Earth’s surface.

Due to this change, there are still research and nothing is fully predicted. The North and south pole are going to change, so animals that are using magnetic fields to navigate could be confused at the beginning and our compass needle is going to point toward the south geographical pole from now on.

During the reverse, there is a small moment when there will be no magnetic field, but this moment is short, so hopefully will not cause any damage to our everyday life.

$textbf{Comparing electric and magnetic fields:}$

* – both of the fields are produced by the charges. Electric field by the static charge, but magnetic fields only by the charges in motion

* – the electric field can be a monopole (only one charge, positive or negative), while the magnetic field always comes in a dipole. Magnetic monopoles do not exist.

* – we usually note magnetic field with $B$ and the unit is Tesla (T), while we note electric field with E and units is $frac{V}{m}$

* – the electric field has a start and end. Positive charges are sources of electric fields. The electric field starts in a positive charge and ends in a negative charge. Magnetic fields are infinite loops, they do not start or end in any of the poles.

* – both fields are radially dependent, while with electric we have inversely proportionality to the square of the radius, with the magnetic field it is usually only radius (to the first power).

* – electric field makes a charged particle move linearly, while magnetic field makes a charged particle moving in a circular motion.
