A 2.0-cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20-A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0m on the x-axis.

1.6nT [in the negative z direction]

The magnetic field, B, due to a distance of finite value b, is given by;

B = (μ₀IL) / (4πb)                -----------(i)

Where;

I = current on the wire

L = length of the wire

μ₀ = magnetic constant = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m

From the question,

I = 20A

L = 2.0cm = 0.02m

b = 5.0m

Substitute the necessary values into equation (i)

B = (4π × 10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (4π x 5.0 )

B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (5.0 )

B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (5.0 )

B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (25.0)

B = 1.6 x 10⁻⁹T

B = 1.6nT

Therefore, the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0m  on the x-axis is 1.6nT.

PS: Since the current is directed in the positive y direction, from the right hand rule, the magnetic field is directed in the negative z-direction.

answer

procedural programming, object-oriented programming

explanation

procedural programming is a type of computer programming language that specifies a series of well structured steps and procedures   within its development period of time. it contains a systematic order of statements, functions and commands to complete a computational task or program. it is centered on creating procedures. while object oriented programming is a programming language that is centered on creating objects rather that actions and data rather than logic.. it has four principles which are inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
