B4)
a)
current i = 5.0 A
radius r = 30 mm = 0.030 m
i.)
Magnetic field at the center:
B = k*2*pi*i/r
where, l = mu_o/4pi = 10^(-7) N/A^2
Hence,
B = 10^(-7)*2*pi*5/0.03 = 1.05*10^(-4) T = 1.05 Gauss --Answer
ii)
If number of turns = N
Hence,
B = N*1.05*10^(-4) = 1mT = 1*10^(-3) T
=> N = 10.5 == 11 turns --Answer
b)
B = 1mT = 1*10^(-3) T
v = 2500 m/s
Because,
F = q*v*B
where, charge, q = e = 1.6*10^(-19) C
Hence,
F = 1.6*10^(-19)* 2500 *1*10^(-3) = 4*10^(-19) N --Answer
The force will ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
