Answer:
A) Vector μ = -IA•k^
B) Bx = 5D/IA
C) By = 5D/IA
D) Bz = -12D/IA
Explanation:
I have attached the explanation for ease of understanding
Answer:
a. μ~ = – IA •k
b. Bx = 5D/IA
c. By = 5D/IA
d. Bz = -12.1D/IA
Explanation:
Given that,
Torque, τ = D(5i^ − 5j^) Nm
Potential energy is gvwn as
U=− μ•B
Magnitude of magnetic field is
Bo=14D/IA
a. The vector magnetic moment of the current loop is given as
μ~ = – μ•k
μ~ = – IA •k
b. Now to find the component of the magnetic field B.
Assume B = Bx •i + By •j + Bz •k
Then, torque is given as
τ = μ~ ×B
τ = – IA •k × (Bx •i + By •j + Bz •k)
Note that
i×i=j×j×k×k=0
i×j=k. j×i=-k
j×k=i. k×j=-i
k×i=j. i×k=-j
Then,
τ = – IA •k × (Bx •i + By •j + Bz •k)
τ= -IABx•(k×i) – IABy•(k×j) – IABz•(k×k)
τ= -IABx•j + IABy•i
τ= IABy•i – IABx•j
The given torque is τ = D(5i^ − 5j^)
Comparing coefficient
Then,
IABy=5D
Then, By= 5D/IA
c. Also,
-IABx=-5D
Bx=-5D/-IA
Bx=5D/IA
d. To get Bz, let use the magnitude of magnetic field Bo
Bo²=Bx²+By²+Bz²
(14D/IA)²=(5D/IA)²+(5D/IA)² + Bz²
Bz²=(14D/IA)²- (5D/IA)²-(5D/IA)²
Bz²=196D²/I²A²-25D²/I²A²-25D²/I²A²
Bz²=(196D²-25D²-25D²)/I²A²
Bz²=146D²/I²A²
Bz=√(146D²/I²A²)
Bz=± 12.1 D/IA
So we want to determine if Bz is positive or negative
From the electric potential,
U=− μ•B
U= – – IA k•(Bx i+By j+Bz k)
Note, -×- =+, i.i=j.j=k.k=1
i.j=j.k=k.i=0
Then,
U= IA k•(Bx i+By j+Bz k)
U=IABz
Since we are told that U is negative, then this implies that Bz is negative
Then, Bz= -12.1D/IA
