Q 1CP
Expert-verifiedA magnetic field near the floor points up and is increasing. Looking down at the floor, does the non-Coulomb electric field clockwise or counter clockwise? A magnetic field near the ceiling points down and is decreasing. Looking up at the ceiling, does the non-Coulomb electric field curl clockwise or counter clockwise?
The floor and ceiling both are counter clockwise.
A magnetic field near the floor points up and is increasing.
The magnetic field's direction and the electric field's direction are opposite each other. The non-coulomb electric field curls in a clockwise manner as the magnetic field is increased downward toward the floor.
The figure will be:
The facts are:
(a). The magnetic field, B is pointing upwards.
(b). The magnetic field is increasing. Therefore, the quantity is pointing in the same direction as B.
So, by using the right hand thumb rule on , this can be observed that the direction of is counter clockwise.
Therefore, the floor is counter clockwise.
The figure will be:
The facts are:
(a). The magnetic field, B is pointing upwards.
(b). The magnetic field is decreasing. Therefore, the quantity is pointing in the opposite direction as B.
So, by using the right hand thumb rule on , this can be observed that the direction of is counter clockwise.
Therefore, the ceiling is counter clockwise.
