3. Chapter 33, Problem 2. (a) What is the resistance of a lightbulb that uses an
average power of 75.0 W when connected to a 60.0-Hz power source having a
maximum voltage of 170 V? (b) What If? What is the resistance of a 100-W
bulb?

4. The figure shows three lamps connected
to a 120-V AC (rms) household supply
voltage. Lamps 1 and 2 have 150-W
bulbs; lamp 3 has a 100-W bulb. Find the
rms current and resistance of each bulb.




5. A typical galvanometer, which requires a current of 1.50 mA for full-scale
deflection and has a resistance of 75.0 , may be used to measure currents of
much greater values. To enable an operator to measure large currents without
damage to the galvanometer, a relatively small shunt resistor is wired in parallel
with the galvanometer. Most of the current then goes through the shunt resistor.
Calculate the value of the shunt resistor that allows the galvanometer to be used to
measure a current of 1.00 A at full-scale deflection. (Suggestion: use Kirchhoffs
rules.)
6. An electron is moving toward the North in a region of space where there is a
magnetic field which is pointing vertically downward. In which direction is the
magnetic force on the electron?
(A) Down
(B) Up
(C) North
(D) South
(E) East
(F) West

7. Chapter 29, Problem 2. Consider an electron near the Earths equator [where the
magnetic field is directed toward the North]. In which direction does it tend to
deflect [due to the magnetic force] if its velocity is directed (a) downward,
(b) northward, (c) westward, or (d) south-eastward?

8. Chapter 29, Problem 4. A proton travels with a speed of 3.00 10
6
m/s at an
angle of 37.0 with the direction of a magnetic field of 0.300 T in the +y direction.
What are (a) the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton and (b) its
acceleration?

9. Chapter 29, Problem 8. An electron in a uniform electric and magnetic field has
a velocity of 1.20 10
4
m/s (in the positive x direction), and an acceleration of
2.00 10
12
m/s
2
(in the positive z direction). If the electric field has a magnitude
of 20.0 N/C (in the positive z direction), what can you determine about the
magnetic field in the region? What can you not determine?

10. A conductor suspended by two flexible wires,
as shown in figure, has a mass per unit length
of 0.040 0 kg/m. What current must exist in the
conductor in order for the tension in the
supporting wires to be zero when the magnetic
field is 3.60 T into the page? What is the
required direction for the current?

11. Chapter 29, Problem 34. A current of 17.0 mA is maintained in a single circular
loop of 2.00 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.800 T is directed parallel to
the plane of the loop. (a) Calculate the magnetic moment of the loop. (b) What is
the magnitude of the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop?

12. A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.20 10
26
kg. After being
accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 833 V, the ion enters a
magnetic field of 0.920 T along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the
field. Calculate the radius of the path of the ion in the field.
13. Chapter 29, Problem 17. A velocity selector consists of electric and magnetic
fields described by the expressions k E

E =
r
and j B

B =
r
, with B =15.0 mT. Find
the value of E such that a 750-eV electron moving along the positive x axis is
undeflected.

14. Chapter 29, Problem 19. Consider the mass spectrometer shown schematically
in Figure 29.13. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the
velocity selector is 2 500 V/m, and the magnetic field in both the velocity selector
and the deflection chamber has a magnitude of 0.035 0 T. Calculate the radius of
the path for a singly charged ion having a mass m =2.18 10
26
kg.

15. A charge can move through a region where there is a magnetic field B and not
experience a force by

(B) travelling parallel to B.
(C) travelling perpendicular to B.
(D) travelling very slowly.
(E) travelling in a circle.

16. A circular flat coil of N turns and enclosed area A, carrying a current I, is placed
in a uniform magnetic field, of magnitude B, so that the line perpendicular to the
plane of the coil is parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. The torque on
the coil is

(C) NBA
(D) IBA
(E) None of the above.
