A few physics questions?

@theEric

OpenStudy (theeric):

I can take a look infrequently! I'd like to help more, but I have lots of studying to do!

OpenStudy (theeric):

Okay! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ferromagnetic material is subjected to strong magnetic field and afterward acts as permanent magnet. Why?? Long-range electric currents circulating iron Motion of iron nuclei makes magnetic field Magnetic field aligns magnetic domains mostly in a single direction Magnetic field gives ferromagnetic material electric charge I think its C?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool :) Is it false that magnetic field lines are perpendicular to direction of magnetic field at every point? I think it is false

OpenStudy (theeric):

It is false!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice :) What shape do magnetic field lines have around a wire with a steady current in it? Lines parallel to direction of wire spirals converging inward toward wire concentric circles around wire none of the above I think its B?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Nope! They do not converge inward, that I've learned. And you don't see them do so, so they can't be spiraling, either. Do you have another guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

straight lines radiating outward from wire is actually another option I almost left it out

OpenStudy (theeric):

Nope! Did you check out the link I posted? It's an image search!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nvm I think its conecentric circles around the wire :)

OpenStudy (theeric):

Yup! :)

First you need to find the formula for the magnetic field generated by a solenoid! I have to go! I'll be back soon. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/solenoid.html You double the current. So, what happens to the magnetic field?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Did you find your answer?

OpenStudy (theeric):

You're on the right track! \(B=\mu nI\) Next, \(I\) is doubled, and \(\mu\) and \(n\) stay the same. We'll let this new \(I\) be \(I_2\). And let \(B_2\) be the next magnitude of the magnetic field. So, \(B_2=\mu nI_2\) \(I_2\) doubled \(I_1\), so \(I_2=2I_1\). So, really, \(B_2=\mu n 2I_1\) So, \(B_2=2(\mu n I_1)=2B_1\)

OpenStudy (theeric):

These kind of problems come up every once in a while. Like, electrostatic force - what happens when you double the radius? \(F_1=k\dfrac{q_1\ q_2}{r_1^2}\) so \(F_2=k\dfrac{q_1\ q_2}{r_2^2}=k\dfrac{q_1\ q_2}{(2r_1)^2}\\=k\dfrac{q_1\ q_2}{2^2r_1^2}=\dfrac14\left(k\dfrac{q_1\ q_2}{r_1^2}\right)=\dfrac14F_1\) General method: Make the substitution of the change you know, and then get the expression to look how it did before.

OpenStudy (theeric):

Well, I guess I didn't finish the last one. \(B_2=2B_1\), though, so you can substitute your value for \(B_1\) and calculate \(B_2\). As for the maglev, the wording is weird, but it's definitely not the last two! So I agree!
