Physics B Module 11 Homework 
Directions: Complete the following problems showing all of your work. Turn in 
your completed worksheet to your teacher. 

Short Answer  
1. How does induced magnetism work. Use the terms magnetic induction and magnetic domain.
induced magnetism work when a hot iron, nickel, or cobalt piece put next to a powerful
magnet Heat causes the atoms in the metal to break their alignment and begin to
migrate, which is why this works. If the heated metal is then placed close to a strong
magnet, the atoms will realign with the magnet's magnetic poles. In order for the metal
to retain its magnetic properties after cooling, it must be kept near to the magnet.
When it cools, the atoms get "locked into place" in a strongly magnetic orientation,
creating a magnet. A magnet can lessen attraction as well.

2. Explain how the Earth acts like a large bar magnet.
Every electron in an atom makes a complete annual orbit around its nucleus, much as
the Earth formerly did around the sun. Like an electron, the globe circles around its
axis every day. Earth behaves like a magnet because of the magnetic field
surrounding it.

3. Explain the right‐hand rule for finding the direction of the magnetic field on a current‐carrying wire.
If you create a fist around the wire with your thumb pointing in the direction of the
current, the orientation of the wrapped fingers indicates the direction of the magnetic
field surrounding the wire.

4. What is an electromagnet? 

area
  of physics that studies how electric and magnetic forces interact

5. Explain Andre‐Marie Ampere’s contributions to the study of electricity and magnetism. 
 
Ampère discovered that depending on this orientation, two parallel modern wires will
  attract or repel one another. This discovery inspired more investigation, which
either
 
ultimately led to the creation of electrodynamics, a whole new area of
 
electromagnetics. Electrodynamics is the study of the interactions between magnetic
fields
  and electric currents.
 
 
 
 
6. What is Faraday’s Law and Maxwell’s Counterpart to Faraday’s Law? 
 
faraday's law- a region where the magnetic field is changing over time, an electric field
will  be induced. The rate of change of the magnetic field is directly inversely
 
proportional to the electric field.
 
 
Maxwell's law counterpart to faraday's law- An induced magnetic field could be present
in a  place where the electric field is changing over time. The angular connection
between
  the magnetic field and the electric field, which is at right angles to it,
determines
7. how quickly the electric field changes.
What is the photoelectric effect and why couldn’t it be explained by classical physics? 
Metal surfaces emit electrons when light touches them is a photoelectric effect
 

8. What do scientists mean when they say that there is a wave‐particle duality? 
At some
  frequencies, they discovered that these electromagnetic waves started to
behave more like particles. However, as light displays both wave- and particle-like
characteristics,
  there was no clear-cut option. This concept is referred to as the
wave-particle duality of light.

Practice 
9. Draw a bar magnet and its magnetic field lines. 

10. Draw two sets of bar magnets. One where the bar magnets are “attracting” each other and one 
where they are “repelling” each other. Draw the field lines in each case as well. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
11. A current‐carrying wire carries a current of 0.345 A. What is the magnitude and direction f the 
magnetic field at point P, 0.030 meters away from the wire as shown?

12.  A proton moving east at 2.64 x 105 m/s moves through a magnetic field of 2.55 x 10‐6 T to the north. 
What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the proton experiences? 

  By utilizing lead aprons, several diagnostic x-ray procedures are rendered safer for
reproductive organs.
 

13. During a photoelectric effect experiment, light possessing 3.54 eV of energy is incident on a 
photoelectric material. The work function of the material is equal to 1.53 eV. What is the kinetic 
energy (in eV) of the electrons emitted? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
14. A photon has an energy of 3.2 eV. What is the frequency of the photon? 
 
3.2x1.6x10(-19)/6.63x10(-34)=7.72x10(14)
 

15. What is the de Broglie wavelength of an 11 kg cat that is moving at 2.10 m/s? 
 
6.62x10(-34)/11x2.10=0

Application 
16. A primary coil in a transformer carries a voltage of 220 V with a total of 660 turns in its coil. If a 
secondary coil is used to step down the voltage to 120 V, how many turns should it have it in the 
secondary coil?
