The z-component of the electric eld is Ez = V = (4 x 10 z ) z = 10(2.6 m) 4(2 m) = 18 N/C . 002 10.0 points 3.

The upper straight wire portions have dl r , so do not contribute. Likewise, the short segment of length h L may be neglected. Consequently, we have a superposition of the magnetic elds of a halfloop and a straight wire of length L, |B | = 1 0 2I 0 2 I + 2 4 R 4 h 2 0 I . + = 4 R h

By the RHR, the direction must be into the page, so negative. 003 10.0 points A total current of 69 mA ows through an innitely long cylinderical conductor of radius 6 cm which has an innitely long cylindrical r hole through it of diameter r centered at 2 along the x-axis as shown. y

What is the magnitude of the magnetic eld at a distance of 10 cm along the positive x-

Assume the current density is constant throughout the conductor. 1. 1.07117e-07 2. 5.67193e-08 3. 1.53164e-07 4. 5.41667e-08 5. 9.98555e-08 6. 1.40444e-07 7. 1.48615e-07 8. 3.40364e-08 9. 1.18788e-07 10. 9.3464e-08 Correct answer: 1.48615 107 T.

Note: The minus sign means Ihole is owing in the direction opposite Icyl and I , as it must if it is going to cancel with Icyl to model the hole. We also require I = Icyl + Ihole . We then 4 1 have Icyl = I , and Ihole = I . With these 3 3 currents, the combination of the two cylinders in gure 2 gives the same net current and current distribution as the conductor in our problem. The magnetic elds are 4 I 3 = 2x 1 0 I 3 = , 2 (x + r/2) 0

Principle of Superposition. Our goal is to model the given situation, which is complex and lacks symmetry, by adding together the elds from combinations of simpler current congurations which together match the given current distribution. The combination of the currents in Fig. 2 will do so if we choose Icyl and Ihole correctly. y Hole r r y 2 4 = I 3 x

The gure below shows a simple model: a layer of polarized charge forms at the upper and lower surfaces of the dielectric, leading to a reduction of the eective plate charge and a reduced eld E .

Clearly, Acyl = r 2 , and Ahole = Icyl Ihole = . 4

Version 013 MT2 chiu (57425)

so we can treat the dielectric as though it were composed of parallel plates with charge Qpol ; we know the electric eld for this charge distribution it is (Qpol /A)/0 . Using this fact together with E = E/, we obtain: E = EQ + EQpol Qpol Q Q = A0 A0 A0 Q = Q Qpol Q 1 Qpol = Q = Q 1 In reality, each individual molecule of the dielectric is polarized, becoming a dipole (see the illustration Fig 17.42 in M&I v.II). The sum of the dipole contributions gives the electric eld due to the polarization of the dielectric Epol . The simple model shown above is justied by assuming that the eects of the polarized charges in the interior of the dielectric largely cancel, leaving only the outermost layer of dipole charge at the top and bottom surfaces to contribute. Given a dielectric constant , plate charge Q, and plate area A, determine the magnitude of the polarized charge Qpol . 1. Q 2. Q 1 + 3. Q 1

005 10.0 points The gure represents two long, straight, parallel wires extending in a direction perpendicular to the page and carrying currents of equal magnitude. The current in the left wire runs out of the page and the current in the right runs into the page. a b c

4. Q( 1) 1 +1 1 6. Q 1 correct Explanation: First, note that we can apply the superposition principle inside the dielectric: E = EQ + EQpol . We are told a layer of charge forms on the outer surfaces of the dielectric, 5. Q

Version 013 MT2 chiu (57425) right wire points up. Since 0 I Bwire = , 2 r The eld due to the left wire is larger, so the superposition of the elds produces a downward eld. At the center point, both elds point up. At the rightmost point, the eld due to the left wire points up, while that due to the right wire points down. Since the right wire is closer, it dominates, so the net eld is down. 006 10.0 points 3. Ib, IIa 4. Ib, IIb

Explanation: Ia is correct. Notice that with the source charge on the rod being negative, it generates a downward electric eld. By inspection the vector E is antiparallel to the path, so V = VB VA > 0. IIb is correct. The potential dierence is a property of E generated by the source charges. It is independent of the sign or magnitude of the test charge q. 007 10.0 points Consider the following diagram.

Figure above shows a portion of long, negatively charged rod. You need to determine the potential dierence VB VA due to the charged rod. Use the convention that up is along the +y direction. Consider the following statements: Ia. The sign of VB VA is positive Ib. The sign of VB VA is negative Now bring a test charge q from A to B. Consider the following statements: IIa. The sign of the potential dierence VB VA due to the rod depends on the sign of the test charge q. IIb. The sign of the potential dierence VB VA due to the rod does not depend on the sign of the test charge q. Choose the correct choice: 1. Ia, IIb correct 2. Ia, IIa

2 The wire rests below two compasses. When no current is running, both compasses point North (the direction shown by the gray arrows). When the current runs in the circuit, the needle of compass 1 deects as shown. In what direction will the needle of compass 2 point? 1. North 2. Southeast 3. West 4. East 5. South 6. Northwest 7. Northeast correct

Version 013 MT2 chiu (57425) 5. Ic, IId 8. Southwest Explanation: At location 1, current ows to the left (South) to make the compass deect Northwest. Thus, at location 2, current ows to the right (North). B due to the current, at location 2 above the wire, is downward toward the bottom of the page (East). Thus the net magnetic eld due to the Earth and the current carrying wire is Northeast, so the compass needle will point Northeast. The actual angle will depend on the value of the current. 008 10.0 points A current-carrying solenoidal coil of length L and radius R, L R, is uniformly wound with N turns. Suppose the coil is now cut in half, resulting in two new solenoids with half the number of turns (N/2) as the original coil. The coils are connected to separate circuits so that current ows through them in the same direction as through the original coil. When brought close to each other so that the cut ends face each other: (Ia) The coils repel each other. (Ib) The coils are attracted to each other. (Ic) The coils do not interact magnetically. If the magnetic eld created inside of one of the new coils (far from the ends) is B , and that created by the original coil is B (all other parameters being the same), then which of the following relations is true? (IIa) B = B B (IIb) B = 2 B (IIc) B = 8 (IId) B = 2B 1. Ic, IIb 2. Ia, IIa 3. Ia, IId 4. Ic, IIa 6. Ib, IIa correct 7. Ib, IIb 8. Ia, IIb 9. Ic, IIc 10. Ib, IIc

Explanation: When carrying a current, each smaller coil still acts like a magnetic dipole, so must have a North and a South pole. With the current owing the same direction as through the original coil, the cut ends of the new coils must be of opposite polarity if they were not, then one coil would have either two north poles or two south poles, an impossibility. Ib is the correct choice. Since magnetic eld strength is proportional to N/L and this ratio does not change when the coil is divided, we still have B = B . Hence, IIa is correct. 009 10.0 points

Explanation: One may regard the 3-plate system as a composite system which involves two capacitor systems with the 12-capacitor followed by the 23-capacitor. The 12-capacitor has charges Q1 and Q2 + Q3 , i.e charges of q and q respectively. The 23-capacitor has charges Q1 + Q2 and Q3 , i.e charges of +2q and 2q respectively. The potential dierence is

(1)

Multiplying eq(1) by the proton charge e, we arrive at the potential energy dierence from C to D is given by UD UC = e(V (b)V (a)) = k e q s 1 1 2 2 a b .

Intuitive reasoning on the sign of U : Natural tendency of the motion is from high potential energy to lower potential energy. When the proton is released it should move from D to C, so UD > UC . 010 10.0 points You are given three parallel conducting plates of cross-sectional area A that are perpendicular to the x-axis. They are labeled, from left to right, as plates 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The corresponding plate charges are Q1 = q , Q2 = 3q and Q3 = 2q . The width of the gap between both plates 1 and 2 and 2 and 3 is d. Determine the V = V3 V1 . 1. 9(q/A)d 20

If q2 is the charge on the outside surface of the shell and q2 the charge on its inside surface, then q2 + q2 = q2 .

VC = k correct R3 Explanation: C is a point inside the outer shell. The potential inside the shell is constant, so must be equal to the potential at the outer surface R3 . As a consequence, VC = k q1 + q2 , R3

q1 + q2 R3 q1 + q2 q1 q1 =k k +k R3 R2 b q1 + q2 q1 q1 =k k +k R3 b R1 q1 =2k b q1 =k b q1 + q2 q1 q1 =k k +k correct R3 R2 R1 q2 =k b q1 + q2 =k b q2 = 2k c q1 q2 =k 2c

Explanation: B is located inside the central sphere; again, we know the potential inside the sphere is constant and equal to the potential at its surface. There are several ways to solve this problem. We will consider two. We can apply the superposition principle to the potentials due to each surface charge distribution. The surface charges are: q = q1 + q2 at R3 , q = q1 at R2 , and q = q1 at R1 . Remember that the potential dierence between any two points inside a spherically symmetric shell of charge is zero, so we must only consider the potential of each charge distribution up to but not inside of is radius. Consequently, VB = Vq (b) + Vq (b) + Vq (b) q1 + q2 q1 q1 =k k +k . R3 R2 R1 Alternatively, we can recognize that the potential at B is just the sum of the potential dierences from R3 and from R2 R1 , since the potential dierence inside the conductors is zero. V from R3 is just the potential at R3 due to the total charge,

since the potential at R3 is equal to that of a point charge of charge q1 + q2 located at the origin. 012 (part 2 of 2) 5.0 points Determine the potential at B .

Version 013 MT2 chiu (57425) while V from R2 R1 is just due to the charge q on the surface at R1 . Therefore, VB = Vq (R3) Vq () + Vq (R1 ) Vq (R2 ) q1 + q2 q1 q1 =k 0+k k , R3 R1 R2 which is equal to the other method, as expected. 013 10.0 points q = 1.6 1019 C , d = 5 cm = 0.05 m , = 33 . and

so the work to move the charge from innity to B is k q2 . WB = 2 L 016 10.0 points The gure shows a portion of two ribbons of width L, each containing a large number N of closely packed wires. Each wire in the upper ribbon carries a current I into the page; each wire in the lower ribbon carries a current 2I out of the page. Use Amperes law to determine B at point P .

Version 013 MT2 chiu (57425) From the diagram, we can see that any pair of wires equidistant from but on either side of P will generate magnetic elds whose vertical components cancel. Therefore the direction of the magnetic eld must be to the right above the top current ribbon and to the left below (vice-versa for the lower ribbon).

A similar analysis for the lower ribbon reveals that its contribution at P is given by 0 N I (x ) . Bbottom = L Therefore the vector sum at P is equal to: 0 N I (x ) . B (P ) = 2L 017 10.0 points An isolated large-plate capacitor (not connected to anything) originally has a potential dierence of 800 V with an air gap of 5 mm.

We rst work out the contribution to the magnetic eld due to the top ribbon alone. Draw a rectangular Amperean loop (of width and height h) as shown in the gure. Integrating clockwise about this path: Along the sides of the path, B dl = 0 , since B is perpendicular to dl. Along the upper part of the path, B dl = Bupper . Along the lower part of the path, B dl = Blower = Bupper , since Bupper = Blower by symmetry. Therefore, B dl = 2Btop = 0 Iinsidepath = 0 N L I ,
