    Finding turns per meter in a solenoid

    I actually found out what I did wrong. Here is the appropriate way to approach this problem B=N(4pi times 10^-7)(I) Plug in I and B and N= turns per meter...

    Finding turns per meter in a solenoid

    Homework Statement The magnetic field produced by the solenoid in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for measurements on whole human bodies has a field strength of 4.0 T, and the current in the solenoid is 300 A. What is the number of turns per meter of length of the...

    Finding magnitude of external field from two magnetic fields

    Homework Statement I was wondering how would you determine the magnitude an external field needed to cancel two magnetic fields in two wires? In this instance the currents of the two wires are in opposite directions...so I know there is a repulsion force. The currents in both wires are equal...

    Canceling Magnetic Field between two wires using an external force

    I have added the question by editing my initial information. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

    Canceling Magnetic Field between two wires using an external force

    Homework Statement Suppose that I1 = I2 = 20 A; currents are running opposite each other, and that the separation between the wires is 0.019 m. By applying an external magnetic field (created by a source other than the wires) it is possible to cancel the magnetic field at the position of each...

    Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center

    Alright here is what you need to do. Once this finished you can put it in the archives for other struggling students... In order to get the force you will need to use the electric field equation. E=kq/(distance). To get the distance you will need to do the following: convert the units to...

    Calculate the total momentum of the photons

    If you multiply intensity by the area of the sail the units cancel to leave watts which is Joules per a second. Then if you multiply the intensity by the area you will get 1400W considering it is 1m(squared). Since the aircraft is in space any force is going to propel it so all you have do from...

    Thin rod suspended freely on end and dropped. KE and Center of Mass

    Ok. Thanks I just found out the idea with this one. KE=mgh so .4479J/[(.39kg)(9.8m/s(squared)]. So the answer would be .1172m. Thanks again for all your help.

    Thin rod suspended freely on end and dropped. KE and Center of Mass

    Ok. Would the conservation of energy for angular momentum go like this mgh =.5(1/3)(m)(L(squared))(3.5)(squared) + mgh(final). I tried this and got (.39)(9.8)(.75)=.4479(Part a answer) +(.39)(9.8)(height above bottom pt.) and I got .6328m. I find the concept hard to understand. Is this thin rod...

    Thin rod suspended freely on end and dropped. KE and Center of Mass

    Ok. I will do so but for the potential energy part of conservation I would still use mgh right?

    Thin rod suspended freely on end and dropped. KE and Center of Mass

    Ok I got part A. Formula for I. For those interested is (1/3)(m)(L(squared)). This is for a rod rotating about one end. Part B is I am still stuck on. Any advice?

    Thin rod suspended freely on end and dropped. KE and Center of Mass

    Ok thanks. I will look up the formula, but I am not sure if its in my textbook. Does everything else look reasonably good? Also I was wondering if you knew anything on part B. I really appreciate your help.

    How to Calculate Angular Velocity and Acceleration for a Rotating Cylinder?

    Try using the kinematics equations replacing x with (radians), v with (angular velocity) and a with angular acceleration. I will reply if with additional information if you follow up on this.

    Length of Spring: How Can the Unstretched Length Be Determined?

    You can determine angles using SOH CAH TOA. From there you can use components to work out your answer more precisely.
