AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic field near a current-carrying wire and solenoid, the magnetic field from the wire and solenoid must be considered separately. The magnetic field from the wire at a distance of 1.3 cm is 0.196 mT, while the field from the solenoid is 1.570 mT. Since these fields are perpendicular, the total magnetic field can be found using vector addition. The resultant magnetic field can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. This approach allows for accurate estimation of the magnetic field at specified distances from the wire.

A straight wire carrying a current of 48 A lies along the axis of a 4.9 cm diameter solenoid. The solenoid is 55 cm long and has 250 turns carrying a current of 5.0 A.

1)What is the magnitude of the magnetic field 1.3 cm from the wire? (in mT)
2)Estimate the magnitude of the magnetic field 3.4 cm from the wire. (in mT)

I know that B of the wire is 0.196mT and the B of the solenoid is 1.570mT but I'm not sure where to go after this.

PLEASE HELP!

Inside the solenoid, the field due to the solenoid and wire are perpendicular to each other. So the magnetic field is resultant of these two fields.

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
