Sodium ions (Na ) move at 0.851 m/s through a bloodstream in the arm
of a person standing near a large magnet. The magnetic field has a strength of 0.254 T and makes an angle
of 51.0 with the motion of the sodium ions. The arm contains 100 cm3 of blood with 3.00x1020 Na+ ions
per cubic centimeter. If no other ions were present in the arm, what would be the magnetic force on the
arm?
Solution:
The force on a single ion is

A wire with a weight per unit length of 0.080 N/m is suspended directly
above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 30.0 A, and the bottom wire carries a current of 60.0
A. Find the distance of separation between the wires so that the top wire will be held in place by magnetic
repulsion.
Solution:
In order for the system to be in equilibrium, the repulsive magnetic force per unit length on the top wire
must equal the weight per unit length of this wire.
Thus,

The forces acting on the sides of the loop lie in the plane of the loop, are perpendicular to the sides, and
are directed away from the interior of the loop. Thus, they tend to stretch the loop but do not tend to
rotate it. The torque acting on the loop is ! = 0 .

A proton moving
horizontally enters a region where a uniform magnetic field
is directed perpendicular to the protons velocity, as shown
in Figure Q19.3. Describe the subsequent motion of the proton.
How would an electron behave under the same circumstances?
Solution:
The proton moves in a circular path upward on the page. After
completing half the circle, it exits the field and moves in a straight
line back in the direct whence it came. An electron behaves simialarly,
but the direction of traversal of the circle is downward, and the radius of the circular path is smaller.

A magnet attracts a piece of iron. The iron can then attract another
piece of iron. On the basis of domain alignment, explain what happens in each piece of iron.
Solution:
The magnet causes domain alignment in the iron such that the iron becomes magnetic and is attracted to
the original magnet. Now that the iron is magnetic, it can produce an identical effect in another piece of
iron.

Homework 5 (solutions)
(2004 Fall)
Suppose you move along a wire at the same speed as the drift speed
of the electrons in the wire. Do you now measure a magnetic field of zero?
Solution:
If you are moving along with the electrons, you will measure zero current for the electrons, so the
electrons would not produce a magnetic field according to your observations. However, the fixed position
charges in the metal are now moving backwards relative to you and creating a current equivalent to the
forward motion of the electrons when you were stationary. Thus, you will measure the same magnetic field
as when you were stationary, but it will be due to the positive charges moving in your reference frame.
