(c) Is the supported wire in a stable or unstable equilibrium if displaced vertically? If displaced horizontally?

Problem 86

A charged particle having mass $6.64\times 10^{-27}\textrm{ kg}$ (that of a helium atom) moving at $8.70\times 10^{5}\textrm{ m/s}$ perpendicular to a 1.50-T magnetic field travels in a circular path of radius 16.0 mm. (a) What is the charge of the particle? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?

Problem 88

Frustrated by the small Hall voltage obtained in blood flow measurements, a medical physicist decides to increase the applied magnetic field strength to get a 0.500-V output for blood moving at 30.0 cm/s in a 1.50-cm-diameter vessel. (a) What magnetic field strength is needed? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which premise is responsible?

Problem 89

A surveyor 100 m from a long straight 200-kV DC power line suspects that its magnetic field may equal that of the Earth and affect compass readings. (a) Calculate the current in the wire needed to create a $5.00 \times 10^{-5} \textrm{ T}$ field at this distance. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumption or premise is responsible?
