A thin, horizontal copper rod is 1.32502 m
long and has a mass of 56.0009 g.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
2
.
What is the minimum current in the rod
that will cause it to oat in a horizontal mag-
netic eld of 2.20725 T?
Correct answer: 0.187649 A.
Explanation:
Let : = 1.32502 m,
m = 56.0009 g = 0.0560009 kg , and
B = 2.20725 T.
In order for the rod to oat, the magnetic
force must have the same magnitude as the
weight of the rod, so
F = B I sin = mg
I =
mg
B sin
.
The minimum value of I occurs when the
denominator is largest (sin = 1), so
I

(0.0560009 kg) (9.8 m/s

A straight, sti, horizontal wire of length
30 cm and mass 80 g is connected to a source
of emf by light, exible leads. A magnetic
eld of 1.37 T is horizontal and perpendicular
to the wire.
Find the current necessary to oat the wire;
that is, nd the current so the magnetic force
balances the weight of the wire.
Correct answer: 1.90949 A.
Explanation:
Let : = 30 cm = 0.3 m,
m = 80 g = 0.08 kg , and
B = 1.37 T.
Since the magnetic eld is perpendicular to
the wire, = 90

the motor is operating at its maximum speed,
the back emf is 115 V.
Find the current in the coils when the motor
