A rear window defroster consists of a long, flat wire bonded to the inside surface of the window. When current passes through the wire, it heats up and melts ice and snow on the window. For one window the wire has a total length of 11.6 m, a width of 1.9 mm, and a thickness of 0.11 mm. The wire is connected to the car's 12.0 V battery and draws 7.5 A.

A rear window defroster consists of a long, flat wire bonded to the inside surface of the window. When current passes through the wire, it heats up and melts ice and snow on the window. For one window the wire has a total length of 12.0 m, a width of 1.8 mm, and a thickness of 0.12 mm. The wire is connected to the car's 12.0 V battery and draws 12.0 A. What is the resistivity of the wire material?

The current density inside a long, solid, cylindrical wire of radius a = 5.0 mm is in the direction of the central axis and its magnitude varies linearly with radial distance r from the axis according to J = J0r/a, where J0 = 220 A/m2. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance (a) r=0, (b) r = 2.7 mm and (c) r=5.0 mm from the center.

A coaxial cable consists of a long cylindrical copper wire of radius r1 surrounded by a cylindrical insulating shell of outer radius r2 . A final conducting cylindrical shell of outer radius r3 surrounds the insulating shell. The wire and conducting shell carry equal but opposite currents I uniformly distributed over their volumes. What is the current density j(r) for all r? Find formulas for the magnetic field in each of the regions.

A simple pendulum consists of a particle of mass m suspended by a long, massless wire of length L. Draw a free body diagram for the pendulum bob corresponding to a moment when the bob is located an angular displacement Φ away from (eg. to the right of) equilibrium. Determine an expression in terms of m, g, and Φ for the component of the net force on the bob that points tangent to the path of the bob. Assume that...

The rear window in a car is approximately a rectangle, 2.4 m wide and 0.65 m high. The inside rearview mirror is 0.40 m from the driver's eyes, and 2.10 m from the rear window. What is the minimum length for the rearview mirror if the driver is to be able to see the entire width and height of the rear window in the mirror without moving her head? What is the minimum height for the rearview mirror if the...

Consider the vertical rear window of an automobile that has a thickness L= 9 mm and height H=0.5 m with heating wires that create uniform volumetric heating. The window interior is exposed to ambient air at 10°C and the window exterior to air at -10°C which moves in parallel flow over the surface with a velocity of 20 m/s. The surface temperature of the window exterior is 12°C. Find the volumetric heating rate necessary to keep the window interior at...

A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.16m^2 and whose thickness is 2.0 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material styrofoam whose are and thickness are 18m ^ 2 and 0.10 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of...

A long hairpin is formed by bending a very long wire, as shown. If the wire caries a current of 9 A, what is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the point a? Take R = 10 mm. Take the sign of B to be positive if the direction is out of the paper and negative if B is into the paper. You need to enter the number with its sign and a space and the unit....

A flat coil of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field that is in the y direction. (i) The magnetic flux through the coil is maximum if the coil is (a) in the xy plane(b) in either the xy or the yz plane (c) in the xz plane (d) in any orientation, because it is constant. (ii) For what orientation is the flux zero? Choose from the same possibilities.
