A) To determine where the total magnetic field is equal to zero, we need to calculate the magnetic field at any point in the plane of the two wires and find where the magnetic fields of the two wires cancel out.
The magnetic field at a point due to a current-carrying wire can be calculated using Ampere's Law. The formula for the magnetic field at a distance r from a long wire carrying current I is given by:
B = μ₀I / 2πr
where B is the magnetic field, μ₀ is the permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A), I is the current, and r is the distance from the wire.
Considering the first wire carrying a current of 30A to the left along the x-axis and the second wire carrying a current of 50A to the right along the y=0.280m,z=0 line, we can calculate the magnetic field contributed by each wire at any point in the plane.
For the first wire, the magnetic field at a point (x, y, z) can be calculated using the given information:
B₁ = μ₀ * 30A / 2π * √(x² + y² + z²)
For the second wire, the magnetic field at the same point can be calculated as:
B₂ = μ₀ * 50A / 2π * √((x - y)² + z²)
To find where the total magnetic field is equal to zero, we need to solve the equations B₁ + B₂ = 0 for the given plane. This is a complex mathematical procedure and may require numerical methods such as iteration or using software such as MATLAB or Python with numerical solvers to find the specific location(s) where the total magnetic field is zero.
B) To calculate the vector magnitude force acting on the particle with a charge of -2.00ìc moving along the line (y=0.100m, z=0) with a velocity of v = 150i mm/s, we need to use the Lorentz force equation.
The formula for the Lorentz force (F) acting on a charged particle moving with a velocity (v) in a magnetic field (B) is given by:
F = q * (v x B)
where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the magnetic field, and x represents the cross product.
First, we need to convert the velocity from mm/s to m/s:
v = 150i mm/s = (150 × 10⁻³)i m/s = 0.15i m/s
Next, we need to determine the magnetic field at the location of the particle. This can be done using the magnetic field formulas mentioned in part A.
Once the magnetic field is known, we can calculate the Lorentz force by taking the cross product of the velocity and magnetic field vectors and multiplying it by the charge of the particle:
F = -2.00ìC * (0.15i m/s x B)
To find the magnitude of the force, we can calculate the magnitude of the cross product of the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector using the right-hand rule or by using vector algebra techniques like finding the determinant of a 3x3 matrix.
C) To calculate the required vector electric field for the particle to pass through the region undeflected, we need to consider the relationship between the magnetic force and the electric force acting on a charged particle.
The magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity vector. For the particle to pass through the region undeflected, the electric force should balance the magnetic force.
The formula for the electric force (Fe) acting on a charged particle of charge q moving with a velocity v in an electric field (E) is given by:
Fe = qE
To find the required vector electric field, we need to equate the magnitude of the electric force to the magnitude of the magnetic force calculated in part B.
By setting the magnitudes equal to each other, we have:
|Fe| = |F|
Then, solving for the vector electric field (E):
E = F / q
Substituting the calculated magnitude of the magnetic force and the charge of the particle will give us the required vector electric field.
