Problem 4
A metal wire of mass m can slide without friction
on two parallel, horizontal, conducting rails. The
rails are connected by a generator which delivers a
constant current i to the circuit. There is a constant,
vertical magnetic field, perpendicular to the plane
of the rails. If the wire is initially at rest, find its
velocity as a function of time.

When a charged particle has velocity components both
perpendicular and parallel to a uniform magnetic field, the
particle moves in a helical path. The magnetic field does no
work on the particle, so its speed and kinetic energy remain
constant.
Example: A proton ( 1.60 1019 C, m 1.67 1027 kg) is
placed in the uniform magnetic field directed along the
x-axis with magnitude 0.500 T. Only the magnetic
force acts on the proton. At t=0 the proton has velocity
components
vx 1.50 105 m / s, v y 0, vz 2.00 105 m / s.
Find the radius of the helical path, the angular speed
of the proton, and the pitch of the helix (the distance
traveled along the helix axis per revolution).

Problem 1
Consider two infinitely long, parallel wires a distance
d apart. Find the force between them if they both
carry equal currents, i
One Ampere is that current which, when flowing in
each of two very long, straight, parallel wires, one
meter apart, causes each wire to feel a force of
attraction of 2x10-7 Newtons per unit length.

Coulomb is amount of charge which passes a

Problem 4
Consider a very long (essentially infinite), tightly wound
coil with n turns per unit length. This is called a solenoid.
Assume that the lines of B are parallel to the axis of the
solenoid and non-zero only inside the coil and very far
away. Also assume that B is constant inside. Find B inside
the solenoid if there is a current i flowing through it.
Problem 3
An infinitely long wire has 5 amps flowing in it. A
rectangular loop of wire, oriented as shown in the
plane of the paper, has 4 amps in it. What is the force
exerted on the loop by the long wire?
Exercise 5
Consider the coaxial cable shown below. This
represents an infinitely long cylindrical conductor
carrying a current i spread uniformly over its cross
section and a cylindrical conducting shell around it
with a current i flowing in the opposite direction. The
second i is uniformly spread over the cross section
of the shell. Find magnetic field everywhere.

Induced EMF and Inductance

Faraday’s Law of Induction
The induced EMF in a closed loop equals the negative of the
time rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop

There can be EMF produced in a

From Faraday’s law: a time
varying flux through a
circuit will induce an EMF
in the circuit. If the circuit
consists only of a loop of
