AI Thread Summary
Two parallel wires carrying 10.0A currents in opposite directions create a magnetic field at points A, B, and C, each located 0.50mm from the wires. To find the magnetic field's magnitude and direction, the formula for the magnetic field around a long wire must be applied, considering the contributions from both wires at each point. The magnetic field direction can be determined using the right-hand rule for each wire, and then the fields should be combined vectorially. Additionally, the magnetic force on a proton moving left at 3.40 x 10^6 m/s must be calculated using the Lorentz force equation. Clear calculations and steps are essential for accurate results.

Current---Can someone solve, please?

Homework Statement



Two long straight parallel wires separated by 1.00mm carrying currents in opposite directions with current equaling 10.0A each. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at Point A which = 0.50mm, Point B = 0.50mm, and Point C=0.50mm and write the directions of each. At each of these points, also find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on a proton, which is moving to the left at speed of 3.40 x 10^6 m/s? I would really appreciate your help on this one. Thanks

This is a bit confusing. point A,B and C are all the same?

First off what is the formula for the magnetic field of a long wire?
Secondly what does the magnetic field of a long wire look like?
Thirdly consider both wires separately, put yourself in let's say point A and find the direction of the magnetic field of wire 1 in point A. Now do the same for wire 2. Now add them together vectorially

ps. Not being sure implies that you have at least some sort of an idea. Make sure you show us your work!
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
