The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 3.53×10−15 J. Initially, the electrons move horizontally from west to east. The vertical component of the earth's magnetic field points down, toward the surface of the earth, and has a magnitude of 2.55×10−5 T. What is the acceleration of an electron due to this field component? Number Units

(a) A 13.0 m long, thin, uniform metal rod slides north at a speed of 30.0 m/s. The length of the rod maintains an east-west orientation while sliding. The vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field at this location has a magnitude of 46.0 μT. What is the magnitude of the induced emf between the ends of the rod (in mV)? mV (b) What If? The east end of the rod impacts and sticks to a pylon, causing the rod to rotate clockwise as viewed from above. While the rod rotates, what is the magnitude of the induced emf between the ends of the rod (in mV)? (Hint: use conservation of angular momentum to find the speed of the rod after the collision.) mV

Figure (a) shows an element of length ds = 1.24 μm in a very long straight wire carrying current. The current in that element sets up a differential magnetic field dB at points in the surrounding space. Figure (b) gives the magnitude dB of the field for points 5.6 cm from the element, as a function of angle θ between the wire and a straight line to the point. The vertical scale is set by dBs = 60.2 pT. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field set up by the entire wire at perpendicular distance 5.6 cm from the wire? Number Units

An arbitrarily curved wire that carries a current between two endpoints in the presence of a uniform magnetic field will experience the same net magnetic force as a straight wire carrying the same current between the same endpoints. Essentially, any forces experienced by parts of the wire that curve or twist away from the straight-line path are canceled out by forces on sections that curve back toward the original path. Furthermore, if the wire forms a closed loop in between the endpoints, the net force on the closed loop is zero. Using this result, consider a town where the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 51.3 μT. The magnetic field vector lies in a vertical plane defined by the north-south and up-down axes, and it points 60.0∘ below the northward direction. In this town, a storefront window lies along the north-south vertical plane, and in the window is a neon sign (which is a thin current-carrying discharge tube). The sign carries a 35.1 mA current, starting from the lower south corner of the window, and ending at the opposite corner, which is 1.32 m to the north and 0.850 m upward. The sign spells out the word "BURGERS" between the two points. What is the net vector magnetic force (in μN ) on the neon sign? (Take east to be the +x-axis, up to be the +y-axis, and south to be the +z-axis. Do not include units in your answer.) F→B = μN
