2.      The needle of a compass is in fact a permanent magnet that generates its own magnetic field.  Most compass needles feature a red end that points geographic north.   (a) The red end of the needle is which magnetic pole of the needle?  (b) The field generated by the needle tends to point in what direction relative to the Earth’s magnetic field?

3.      A certain type of bar magnet is cylindrical and has diameter 1.20 cm.  Centered along the sides the magnetic field parallels the cylinder’s axis and has strength 1.5 mT at a distance 1.20 cm from center and 1.10 mT at distance 2.4 cm from center.  Suppose two such magnets are allowed to attract and stick to one another, side by side, north pole by south pole, and south pole by north pole.  (a) Sketch the net magnetic field of the two magnets stuck together.  (b) Use superposition to predict the strength of the net magnetic field 1.80 cm on either side of the shared line of contact.  (c) How would the field of one magnet affect the field that exists along the centerline of the other magnet?

5.      The Sun produces a “solar wind” that consists of charged particles such as protons and electrons streaming outward into space.  Suppose the “wind” reaching the Earth has speed 500 km/s.  These particles encounter the Earth’s magnetic field which has value 0.50 G pointing north near the equator.  Consider what happens in this wind on the side of the Earth directly facing the Sun.  (a) Determine the magnetic force acting on a proton and its resulting acceleration.  (b) Repeat for an electron.

6.      The Earth’s magnetic field in Knoxville does not point parallel to the ground.  Rather it has components 22 μT northward and 45 μT vertically downward.  (a) Determine the net magnetic field in this location and its direction relative to vertical.  Now suppose a pith ball of charge –2.5 nC and mass 0.10 grams is dropped from a height of 1.5 m above the floor.  (b) Determine the maximum magnetic force that acts on the pith ball as it falls.  (c) Calculate the angle by which the acceleration of the pith ball varies from vertical at the instant it hits the floor.

22.  Time for a physics treasure hunt!  Where is the proton?  A current of 3.00 A flows in the positive direction along the x-axis of a coordinate system.  A current of 2.00 A flows in the positive direction along the y-axis of the same system.  The wires carrying these currents cross at the origin but insulation around the wires keeps the current separate.  Somewhere in quadrant I or II of the x-y plane there is a proton that has velocity 1.4 × 107 m/s 45° and it is accelerating 1.4 × 107 m/s2 directly toward the origin.  Where is it?!

23.  A solenoid is a cylindrical coil of wire (looking a little like a spring or slinky) in which current spirals from one end to the other and sometimes back again.  This arrangement generates a fairly uniform magnetic field inside the cylinder with strength approximated by B = μ0NI/L, where N is the number of turns, I is current, and L is the length of the cylinder.  Using the wire that stretched from floor to ceiling from the previous problem it would be possible to form a solenoid of radius 1.0 cm with 48 turns and length of 5.0 to 10.0 cm.  (a) Determine the magnetic field at these two possible lengths with the same 5.00 A current as before.  (b) How many times greater are these fields compared to the previous problem?  Explain the logic in this based on the superposition principle.  (c) Why does the field depend on the length when number of turns and current are the same?

(a) The fields of the domains that were randomly oriented now are tilted to point mainly in what direction – toward the head of the nail or opposite?  (b) Imagining each domain to have a north and south pole, how does this help explain the attraction to the magnet?  (c) How is the situation different if the head of the nail sticks to the south pole of the bar magnet?

26.  A ferromagnetic rod or a paramagnetic rod will tend to align with an external field such that the field aligns with the long axis of the rod – why?  To answer this question sketch a rod parallel to an external magnetic field and sketch another rod perpendicular to an external field.  Then add arrows inside the rod representing dipoles within domains or atoms.  Recalling that each dipole acts like a little magnet itself, consider how the tiny dipoles within each rod interact with one another.  Now explain why the rod aligns parallel to the field!

37.  An AC transformer employs two coils of wire that share very nearly the same magnetic flux at all times, but which are not connected electrically.  When flux changes in one coil it changes equally in the other (ideally).  A certain transformer takes 120 V AC and converts it into 6.0 V AC that is then converted to DC for the purpose of charging a cell phone battery.  The 120 V from the wall outlet connects across the primary coil, which has 320 turns.  This induces an emf of 6.0 V and current of 330 mA in the secondary coil which serves to charge the battery.  (a) Use Faraday’s Law to determine the rate of change in the magnetic flux that exists in each turn for each coil.  (b) Determine the number of coils that must be present in the secondary coil.  (c) Assuming 100 % efficiency (power output of the transformer versus power input) determine the current in the primary coil.  (d) Derive expressions that relate the ratio of the number of turns in the coils, NP/NS, to the voltages VP/VS and currents IP/IS.  (e) Explain how and why a real transformer would differ from the ideal described here.
