(C) The net magnetic force on the loop is downward and there is a net torque on the loop. (D) The net magnetic force on the loop is zero and there is a net torque on the loop. (E) The net magnetic force on the loop is downward and the net torque is zero. 5. (5 pts) The 0.10 T uniform magnetic field shown in the side-view figure is horizontal, parallel to the floor, and directed into page. A straight segment of 1.0 mm-diameter copper wire also parallel to the floor, is perpendicular to the magnetic field and in the plane of the paper. (Note: the density of copper is = 8920 kg/m3.)

What current (in units of A) through the wire, and in which direction, will allow the wire to float in the magnetic field? Ignore the earths magnetic field. (A) 0.69 to right (B) 2.3 to right (C) 2.3 to left (D) 0.69 to left (E) 1.4 to right To float (in stable equilibrium) there must be no net force acting on the wire. Fmag = mg = Vg Thus, ILB = Vg I = 8920((0.5x10-3)2)L(9.8)/[L(.1)] = 0.69 A with direction to right.

Use back of page if needed. Consider the diagram below and neglect edge effects and neglect gravity: B E x A charged particle with charge q and mass m enters an area with both uniform electric and magnetic fields as shown above. The particle enters with speed v and makes an angle with respect to the horizontal, also shown. The particle under goes projectile motion and just clears the lower plate and does not touch the upper plate. 1 (6 pts) Write down an expression, in terms of q, E, v, and B, for the magnitude of the total force acting on the particle at the center of its trajectory. F = q(-E + vB) 2 (6 pts) Obtain an expression, in terms of q, E, v, B, and m, for the magnitude of the acceleration the particle experiences and state the direction of the acceleration when the particle is at the center of its trajectory. Since F = ma a = q|(vB E)|/m. The direction is down as the particle does not hit the top plate and does just miss the lower plate. 3 (7 pts) Assume the acceleration of part 2 above is the average acceleration throughout the trajectory. Obtain an expression, in terms of q, E, v, B, , and m, for the horizontal distance the particle travels. For projectile motion, x = vt + at2/2 in vector form. This reduces to two coupled equations x = vxt and vy = at/2 where vx = vcos and vy = vsin and a has only a vertically down component. Uncoupling the time, gives x = 2v2sincos/[q|(vB E)|/m] where we have taken the absolute value of vB E. 4 (6 pts) Let = 300 , q/m = 2 C/kg , v = 1 m/s, and E = 2vB = 0.86 N/C. Calculate the length x of the lower horizontal plate or equivalently the horizontal distance the particle travels. Substituting these values into the expression of part 3 gives, x = 2(.5)(.87)/[2 C/kg(EE/2)]. Substituting for E= 0.86 N/C gives x = 1 m
