Determine a symbolic answer in unit-vector notation

Reference no: EM13548241

A very thin wire, which follows a semicircular curve C of radius R, lies in the upper half of the x-y plane with its center at the origin. There is a constant current I flowing counter clockwise, starting upward from the end of the wire on the positive x axis and ending downward at the end on the negative x axis. The wire is in a uniform magnetic field, which has magnitude Bo and direction parallel to the z axis in the positive z direction. Determine a symbolic answer in unit-vector notation for the total force on the wire due to the magnetic field. Ignore the forces on the leads that carry the current into the wire at the right end and out of the wire at the left end.

(Solution check: The numerical value with I = 2.00 A, Bo = 3.00 T, and R = 4.00 m is 48.0 N.)

What wavelengths of light would be given off in transitions : A He+ ion is placed in an excited state, so that its remaining electron occupies the n=5 state. The electron can make a transition to any lower energy state, thereby giving off a photon. What wavelengths of light would be given off in these transi..

What is the difference in cyclotron frequencies for two ions : A cyclotron is sometimes used for carbon dating. Carbon-14 and carbon-12 ions are obtained from a sample of the material to be dated and are accelerated in the cyclotron. If the cyclotron has a magnetic field of magnitude 2.50 T, what is the diffe..
