Deflecting a compass needle (a) Which of the following statements are correct? Select all that apply. The magnetic field under the wire, due to the current, points to the West. Conventional current in the wire flows upward (North). Conventional current in the wire is flowing downward (South). The magnetic field under the wire, due to the current, points North. The magnetic field under the wire, due to the current, points to the East. Electron current in the wire is flowing upward (North). (b) Calculate the amount of conventional current flowing in the wire. The measurement was made at a location where the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is BEarth ≈ 2×10−5 tesla. A

A measurement was made of the magnetic field due to a tornado, and the result was 16.00 nT to the north. The measurement was made at a position 9.10 km west of the tornado. What was the magnitude (in A) and direction of the current in the funnel of the tornado? Assume the vortex was a long, straight wire carrying a current. A (conventional current) flowing ---Direction--the tornado.

The direction of that field can be found using a right-hand rule. Place the thumb in the direction of the current and wrap the fingers around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field, as shown in the figure below. (i) If the current in the above figure is reversed and now points downward, what is the direction of the magnetic field? clockwise counterclockwise The equation for the strength of the magnetic field due to the current I in a long, straight wire was experimentally found to be the following. B = μ0 I2πr The proportionality constant μ0 is called the permeability of free space. μ0≡4π×10−7 T⋅m/A Calculate the magnetic field (in T) at a distance 6.0 cm away from a wire that carries a current of 0.50 A .

(a) A wire is held horizontally in a vacuum chamber, and carries a current of 1.85 μA. A proton is traveling in a direction parallel to the wire (opposite the current) with a constant speed of 2.90×104 m/s at a distance d above the wire. Ignoring the magnetic field due to the Earth, determine the value of d (in cm). cm (b) What If? At what distance d (in m) would an electron moving with the same speed as the proton move parallel to the wire? m What direction would the electron have to move? In the same direction as the proton. In the opposite direction as the proton. There is too little information to determine the direction.
