PHYSICS 158 HW-10 – due Wednesday, Apr 3rd at 11:59pm

You should upload your work to Gradescope using the link on the CANVAS website. Please indicate the page # on
which you start each problem. Use a printer/scanner or a scanning app on your phone to reduce the file size. Make
sure that it is readable so that it can be graded. Label your file with your ActID# -- Last Name. Also please write your
ActID# -- Last Name along with your Tutorial #, Date at the top of each page. Use the physical or numerical constants
from your book unless the value is given in the problem. Please circle all your answers.
The written HW is designed to help you develop your problem solving and presentation skills. You must include a
diagram or sketch ( for every problem ). You do not need to write out all the words for the problem -- you should use
your diagram to define your variables. You must include a brief statement indicating what the problem has asked you
to calculate. You can copy and paste the statement of the problem into your work, if you like. Your TA will grade two
problems in detail ( 5 points each ). The other problems will be given either 0 or 1 point ( for a good effort ). You
could lose 1 point overall if your submission is NOT neat.
1. ( Difficulty: * ) (a) Calculate the magnitude & direction of the magnetic field at the point P in terms of !, #! , $%& #" .
(b) Evaluate for the case when #! = #" .

2. ( Difficulty: * ) The long straight wire AB carries a current # = 14.0 -./0. The rectangular loop carries a current
# = 5.0 -./0.
a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the NET force acting on the loop.
b) Calculate the net Torque acting on the loop.

3. ( Difficulty: ** ) Two long, parallel wires ( with mass per unit length
= 0.0125 kg/m ) carrying equal but opposite currents are suspended
from a common axis by 4.0 cm strings as shown. If each string makes
an angle of 6° with the vertical, calculate the magnitude of the current.

4. ( Difficulty: ** ) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic

field at point P due a current # = 12.0 - in the wire. Assume that the radii
of the segments AD, BC = 20.0 cm, 30.0 cm and the length of segments
AB, CD = 10.0cm.
5. ( Difficulty: ** ) A toy company is planning on rolling out a new product
called the magnetic hula-hoop. Assume the hoop is made of a non-conducting
material and has a radius ! and a uniform charge density 5.
a) If the hoop is spun around the point 6 with a constant angular velocity 7,
what is the magnetic field at the center of the hoop ? Remember 8 = 7!.
b) If the speed of the ring is no longer constant, but instead is expressed by the
function 7(:) = 7# < $%& what is the direction of the induced emf in the ring ?
( Please write your answer as either CW or CCW ).

6. ( Difficulty: ** ) The picture shows the main idea behind a generator.

Mechanical force or torque is used to rotate a wire loop in a magnetic field.
Note that here only a half loop is rotated.
a) Find an expression for the induced current as a function of time if you turn the
crank with frequency =. Assume that the semicircle is at its highest point (current
position) at : = 0 s.
b) With what frequency will you have to turn the crank to generate 4.0 W of
electrical peak power ? To calculate the peak power, use the value corresponding
to the amplitude of the periodic current found in part a.
