1. A proton moves with a speed of 1.0x105 m/s through the Earth’s magnetic field, which has a
value of 55mT at a particular location. When the proton moves eastward, the magnetic force
is a maximum, and when it moves northward, no magnetic force acts upon it. What is the
magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the proton?
2. A circular loop of wire has a diameter of 20.0 cm and contains 10 loops. The current in each
loop is 3.00 A, and the coil is placed in a 2.00-T external magnetic field. Determine the
maximum and minimum torque exerted on the coil by the field.
3. The two wires of a 2.0-m-long appliance cord are 3.0 mm apart and carry a current of 8.0 A.
Calculate the force one wire exerts on the other.
4. Carbon atoms of atomic mass 12.0 u are found to be mixed with an unknown element. In a
mass spectrometer with fixed B’ the carbon traverses a path of radius 22.4 cm and the
unknown’s path has a 26.2-cm radius. What is the unknown element? Assume the ions of
both elements have the same charge.
5. In Figure, charged particles move in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire. For each charged
particle, the arrow indicates the initial direction of motion of the particle, and the + or -
indicates the sign of the charge. For each of the particles, indicate the direction of the
magnetic force due to the magnetic field produced by the wire. Explain.
6. The Hall effect can be used to measure blood flow rate because the blood contains ions that
constitute an electric current. (a) Does the sign of the ions influence the emf? Explain. (b)
Determine the flow velocity in an artery 3.3mm in diameter if the measured emf across the
width of the artery is 0.13 mV and B is 0.070 T. (In actual practice, an alternating magnetic
field is used.)
