The figure gives the electric potential V(x) along a copper wire carrying uniform current, from a point of higher potential VS = 8.00 μV at x = 0 to a point of zero potential at xs = 2.40 m. The wire has a radius of 2.10 mm, and copper has a resistivity of 1.69×10−8 Ω⋅m. What is the current in the wire?

A Geiger counter detects radiation such as alpha particles by using the fact that the radiation ionizes the air along its path. A thin wire lies on the axis of a hollow metal cylinder and is insulated from it (Figure 1). A large potential difference is established between the wire and the outer cylinder, with the wire at higher potential; this sets up a strong electric field directed radially outward. When ionizing radiation enters the device, it ionizes a few air molecules. The free electrons produced are accelerated by the electric field toward the wire and, on the way there, ionize many more air molecules. Thus a current pulse is produced that can be detected by appropriate electronic circuitry and converted to an audible "click." Suppose the radius of the central wire is 145 μm and the radius of the hollow cylinder is 1.80 cm. Part A What potential difference between the wire and the cylinder produces an electric field of 2.00×104 V/m at a distance of 1.20 cm from the axis of the wire? (Assume that the wire and cylinder are both very long in comparison to their radii.) Submit Request Answer Figure 1 of 1

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
