By symmetry the magnetic elds are equal
and opposite through point Aand C and hori-
zontally oriented. Following the dashed curve
in a counter-clockwise direction, we calculate
_

B ds, which by Amperes law is propor-
tional to the current through the dashed loop
coming out of the plane of the paper. In
this problem this is a positive current. Hence

B along the horizontal legs points in the di-


rection in which we follow the dashed curve.
Amperes Law is
_

B ds =

I .
To evaluate this line integral, we use the rect-
angular path shown in the gure. The rectan-
gle has dimensions l and w. The net current
through the loop is nI l. Note that since there
is no component of

B in the direction of w, we
are only interested in the contributions along

Explanation:
Let : R

= 11 ,
R

= 4 ,
r

= 1 ,
V = 8 V, and
C = 2 F.
The equivalent resistance of the three resistors
in series is
R
eq
= R

+R
2
+r
in
= (11 ) + (4 ) + (1 )
= 16 ,
so the current in the circuit is I =

, and
the voltage across R

is
V

= I R

R

V

(8 V)

Since R

and C are parallel, the potential
dierence across each is the same. Hence the
charge on the capacitor is
Q = C V

= (2 F) (2 V)
= 4 C .

Explanation:
Let : q = 1.60218 10
19
C,
B
z
= 3.7 T, and
B
x
= 1.5 T.
Basic Concepts: Magnetic force on a mov-
ing charge is given by

F = q v

B.
Solution:

B = (3.7 T)

k + (1.5 T)
v = (3.9 10
5
m/s) for the electron.
Find: The vector expression for the force on
the electron. This solves both part 1 and part
2.
We will go through two methods of doing
the problem.
The rst is more mathematically oriented
and the second uses more of a reasoning argu-
ment.
Method 1: The force acting on a charge q
with velocity v in the presence of an external
magnetic eld

B is given by

F = q v

B
Taking the cross product of v with

B we
obtain

F = q v

and the direction is +

k .
Method 2: The other method is to real-
ize that the only component of the magnetic
eld which aects the electron is the compo-
nent perpendicular to its velocity. Therefore,
F = q |v

B| = q v B

with the direction


given by the right hand rule to be in the neg-
ative

k direction; but recalling to reverse the
direction because the electron has a negative
instead of positive charge.

Explanation:
Apply right-hand rule; force directed out of
the palm of the hand, ngers in the direction
of the eld, thumb in the direction of the
current.
Palm faces in the negative y direction,
thumb points in the positive x direction, so
the ngers point in the +z direction.
