An infinite sheet of current lying in the yz plane carries a surface current of linear density Js. The current is in the positive z direction, and Js represents the current per unit length measured along the y axis. Figure P30.34 is an edge view of the sheet. Prove that the magnetic field near the sheet is parallel to the sheet and perpendicular to the current direction, with magnitude μ0Js/2. Figure P30.34

You are working during the summer at a company that builds theme parks. The company is designing an electromagnetic propulsion system for a new roller coaster. A model of a substructure of the device appears in the figure below. (i) The rod is of length d = 1.00 m and mass m = 0.600 kg. The rod carries a current I = 100 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails of length L = 20.0 m without slipping. The entire system of rod and rails is immersed in a uniform downward-directed magnetic field with magnitude B = 2.30 T. The electromagnetic force on the rod is parallel to the rails, causing the rod to roll to the right in the figure. When a full-scale device is produced, this rod will represent the axle of wheels on which the car and its passengers ride. The electromagnetic force on the axle will provide the motion of the car at the beginning of the roller-coaster ride. Your supervisor wants to test the substructure in the figure in a flat outdoor area on the grounds of the company. By projecting the rod from the rails in a horizontal direction from a height h = 2.20 m, the projection speed can be determined from how far from the ends of the rails the rod hits the ground. Your supervisor asks you to determine the length of the outdoor area needed to test the device. (Determine the total horizontal distance, in m, from the initial position of the rod on the tracks to the final position of the rod where it lands on the ground.) m

An infinite sheet of charge with surface charge density σ = −87 μC/m2 lives in the x−y plane. A thin rod of charge with length L = 13.0 cm is placed along the +z-axis so that the end closest to the sheet is located a distance d = 2.0 cm away from the sheet. When held at this position, the linear charge density of the rod can be described by λ = az, where a = +35 nC/m2. What is the force F on the rod from the sheet? For the limit check, investigate what happens to the force as the sheet loses all of its charge (σ→0). Hint: the electric field from an infinite sheet is given by E = σ2ϵ0

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.310 m and carries a current of 26.5 A in the +x direction. The second wire lies along the x-axis. The wires exert attractive forces on each other, and the force per unit length on each wire is 285 μN/m. What is the y-value (in m ) of the line in the xy-plane where the total magnetic field is zero? m
