PHYSICS 12

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 11

SPRING 2015

Read: Chapters 27-5 through 27-9 and 28-1 through 28-6.

Problems: Will be discussed in Recitations beginning Monday, April 6th.
Homework is due at Noon on Friday, April 10th as usual.
11.1 Explain/answer Giancolis Question 14 of Chapter 27. Electromagnetic pumps
find extensive use in liquid-metal-cooled nuclear reactor plants where liquid
lithium, sodium, or potassium are pumped. Pumps capable of handling several
thousand gallons per minute have operated without maintenance for decades.
11.2 Objects which have a magnetic dipole moment (e.g. current loops, atoms, nuclei,
electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks) experience a force in the presence of a
spatially non-uniform magnetic field. Solve Giancoli Problem 27-12 and express
your answer in terms of the vector dipole moment of the current loop.
11.3 Gloria wows the Lawrence Society (see Fig. 43-1) with her homemade cyclotron
in which ionized atoms (mass M and electric charge |e| Z where Z is an integer) are
made to orbit in a horizontal, circular path of radius R in a uniform, vertical
magnetic field of strength BG.
a) Prove Glorias Rule #1: The kinetic energy of an orbiting ion is proportional to
the square of the orbital radius.
b) Prove Glorias Rule #2: The angular momentum of an orbiting ion is
proportional to its kinetic energy.
11.4 Gloria observes that silver ions (charge = q, mass = M) will orbit at radius R1
when the cyclotron magnetic field is BG (cyclotron mode A). She discovers an
operating mode (mode B) at doubled field strength ( B 2 BG) where the ion
kinetic energy is the same as in mode A. What is the effect a) on the
orbital radius, and b) on the angular momentum, upon changing from mode A
to mode B ?
11.5 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-28.
11.6 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-30.
11.7 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-38.
11.8 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-50.
11.9 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-54.
11.10 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-69.
11.11 Solve Giancoli Problem 27-70.

``BASIC UNIT OF MAGNETISM BELIEVED TO BE DETECTED

Front page of New York Times, August 15, 1975:
``A particle representing the basic unit of magnetism ...existence suspected for most
of the past century is now believed to have been observed. The particle is
believed to have left its track on layers of plastic and emulsion hung from a balloon
over Iowa almost two years ago in a hunt for evidence of superheavy elements in
cosmic rays. `What this means, Dr. Price said yesterday according to the
Associated Press, `is that you might drive ships across the seas by putting a few
monopoles in the ship and having the earths magnetic field tug it across the ocean !

``MAGNETISM PARTICLE NOW BEING DOUBTED New York Times,

September 29, 1975:
``The reported discovery last month of a particle representing the basic unit of
magnetism whose role with regard to magnetism would match that of the electron
in electrical phenomena was based in part upon incorrect information about
the experimental apparatus.
