This diagram shows a fixed horizontal wire passing centrally between the poles of a permanent magnet that is placed on a top-pan balance.

Question Image

With no current flowing, the balance records a mass of 102.45g. When a current of 4.0 g. flows in the wire, the balance records a mass of 101.06 g.

(c) The length of the wire in the magnetic field is 5.0 cm Calculate the average magnetic flux density between the poles of the magnet.

EASY
(a) Define magnetic flux density and explain the similarity with the definition of electric field strength.
EASY

A current-carrying conductor placed at right angles to a uniform magnetic field experiences a force of4.70×10-3N. Determine the force on the wire when, separately:

(b) the magne tic flux density is halved

EASY
A 20 cm length of wire is placed at right angles to a magnetic field. When a current of 1.5 A flows in the wire, a force of 0.015 N acts on it. Determine the flux density of the field .
MEDIUM
(a) The size of the force acting on a wire carrying a current in a magnetic field is proportional to the size of the current in the wire. With the aid of a diagram, describe how this can be demonstrated in a school laboratory.
EASY

A copper wire carrying a current of1.2A has 3.0cm of its length placed in a uniform magnetic field, as shown.

Question Image

The force experienced by the wire is 3.8×10-3N when the angle between the wire and the magnetic field is50°.

(a) Calculate the magnetic flux density.

EASY

This diagram shows a current-carrying wire frame placed between a pair of Magnadur magnets on a yoke. A pointer is attached to the wire.

Question Image

A current of 8.5 A8.5 A in the wire causes the pointer to move vertically upwards. A small paper tape is attached to the pointer and the current is adjusted until the weight of the paper tape causes the pointer to return to its initial position (with no current and no paper tape). The mass of the paper tape is 60 mg. The section of the wire between the poles of the magnetic has a length of 5.2cm.

(c) Calculate the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field between
the poles of the magnet.

EASY

A wire of length50 cm  carrying a current lies at right angles to a magnetic field of flux density5.0mT.
