Finding Magnetic Field from a Box

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnetic field magnitude in a cubic volume with a side length of 50 mm and magnetic energy of 19 J, the relevant equation is U = (1/2)(B^2/μ) where U is energy, B is magnetic field strength, and μ is permeability. The volume of the cube must be calculated as (side length)^3, which is essential for determining energy density. The initial calculations mistakenly used area instead of volume, leading to confusion. After correcting the volume and applying the formula, the magnetic field strength was determined to be approximately 2.51E-5 T. Accurate unit conversion and understanding of the equations are crucial for solving this problem effectively.

Homework Statement

[/B]
A uniform magnetic field exists in a cubic volume of space with a
50-mm side length.
If the magnetic energy stored in this volume is
19J , what is the magnetic field magnitude?
(This is all the information I got. Been a bad week for since it just seem information for my homework is missing)

Homework Equations


This is where things are a little shaky. 0Al

UB=1/2*B^2/μ

The Attempt at a Solution


Taking the length I used it to find the area of the cube. Which is what I take A to be, which I find weird considering I needed l as well.
Setting it up I got

(19*2*4piE-17)/(0.015)(5E-4) = B^2

B = 2.51E-5 T

I believe the equation you started with is the energy density, not just the Energy (check the units)

\frac{U}{Volume of cube} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{B^2}{\mu}
 
actually, it looks like you did divide by the volume in your calculation, but the volume of the cube should just be (side length)^3.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
