The document contains problems related to magnetic fields produced by current-carrying conductors, including calculations for a square loop, a circular pipe, and a solenoid. It also discusses the magnetic field in a cylindrical conductor with a hole and the behavior of Helmholtz coils. Each problem requires applying principles of electromagnetism to find magnetic field magnitudes and directions under various configurations.

9-1 A square loop of wire of edge length a carries current i. Show that, at the center of the loop,
the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the current is
2 2 0i
B

9-2 In Figure 1, a long circular pipe with outside radius R = 2.6 cm carries a (uniformly
distributed) current i = 8.00 mA into the page. A wire runs parallel to the pipe at a distance of
3.00R from center to center. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of
the current in the wire such that the net magnetic field at point P has the same magnitude as the
net magnetic field at the center of the pipe but is in the opposite direction.

9-3 An electron is shot into one end of a solenoid. As it enters the uniform magnetic field within
the solenoid, its speed is 800 m/s and its velocity vector makes an angle of 30° with the central
axis of the solenoid. The solenoid carries 4.0 A and has 8000 turns along its length. How many
revolutions does the electron make along its helical path within the solenoid by the time it
emerges from the solenoid's opposite end? (In a real solenoid, where the field is not uniform at
the two ends, the number of revolutions would be slightly less than the answer here.)

9-4 Figure 2 shows a cross section of a long cylindrical conductor of radius a = 4.00 cm
containing a long cylindrical hole of radius b = 1.50 cm. The central axes of the cylinder and
hole are parallel and are distance d = 2.00 cm apart; current i = 5.25 A is uniformly distributed
over the tinted area. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the hole? (b)
Discuss the two special cases b = 0 and d = 0.

9-5 In Fig. 3, an arrangement known as Helmholtz coils consists of two circular coaxial coils,
each of N turns and radius R, separated by distance s. The two coils carry equal currents i in the
same direction. Show that the first derivative of the magnitude of the net magnetic field of the
coils (dB/dx) vanishes at the midpoint P regardless of the value of s. Why would you expect this
to be true from symmetry? This accounts for the uniformity of B near P for this particular coil
separation.
