3. A single infinitely long straight piece of wire carrying a current I is split and bent so that it includes two half circular loops of radius R, as shown in the Figure. If current I, goes through the top loop and current 1₂ through the lower loop (with I = I₁+1₂) and if I₂ = (D/10) I, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the circle in terms of I?

The magnetic field at all points within the cylindrical region whose cross-section is indicated in the accompanying figure starts at 1.0 T and decreases uniformly to zero in 20 s. What is the electric field (both magnitude and direction) as a function of r, the distance from the geometric center of the region?
The magnetic field 40.0 cm away from a long, straight wire carrying current 2.00 A is 1.00 T. (a) At what distance is it 0.100 T? (b) At one instant, the two conductors in a long household extension cord carry equal 2.00-A currents in opposite directions. The two wires are 3.00 mm apart. Find the magnetic field 40.0 cm away from the middle of the straight cord, in the plane of the two wires. (c) At what distance is it one-tenth as large? (d) The center wire in a coaxial cable carries current 2.00 A in one direction, and the sheath around it carries current 2.00 A in the opposite direction. What magnetic field does the cable create at points outside?
A particle with electric charge is fired into a region of space where the electric field is zero. It moves in a straight line. Can you conclude that the magnetic field in that region is zero? (a) Yes, you can. (b) No; the field might be perpendicular to the particles velocity. (c) No; the field might be parallel to the particles velocity. (d) No; the particle might need to have charge of the opposite sign to have a force exerted on it. (e) No; an observation of an object with electric charge gives no information about a magnetic field.
Noting that the magnetic field lines of a bar magnet resemble the electric field lines of a pair of equal and opposite charges, do you expect the magnetic field to rapidly decrease in strength with distance from the magnet? Is this consistent with your experience with magnets?
Why is the following situation impossible? The magnitude of the Earths magnetic field at either pole is approximately 7.0 105 T. Suppose the field fades away to zero before its next reversal. Several scientists propose plans for artificially generating a replacement magnetic field to assist with devices that depend on the presence of the field. The plan that is selected is to lay a copper wire around the equator and supply it with a current that would generate a magnetic field of magnitude 7.00 105 T at the poles. (Ignore magnetization of any materials inside the Earth.) The plan is implemented and is highly successful.
Explain how magnetic flux can be zero when the magnetic field is not zero.
Inside a motor, 30.0 A passes through a 250-turn circular loop that is 10.0 cm in radius. What i5 the magnetic field strength created at its center?
A current path shaped as shown in Figure P30.13 produces a magnetic field at P, the center of the arc. If the arc subtends an angle of = 30.0 and the radius of the arc is 0.600 in. what are the magnitude and direction of the Held produced at P if the current 3.00 A?
A circular coil of five turns and a diameter of 30.0 cm is oriented in a vertical plane with its axis perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earths magnetic field. A horizontal compass placed at the coils center is made to deflect 45.0 from magnetic north by a current of 0.600 A in the coil. (a) What is the horizontal component of the Earths magnetic field? (b) The current in the coil is switched off. A dip needle is a magnetic compass mounted so that it can rotate in a vertical north-south plane. At this location, a dip needle makes an angle of 13.0s from the vertical. What is the total magnitude of the Earths magnetic field at this location?
A very large parallel-plate capacitor has uniform charge per unit area + on the upper plate and on the lower plate. The plates are horizontal, and both move horizontally with speed v to the right. (a) What is the magnetic field between the plates? (b) What is the magnetic field just above or just below the plates? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force per unit area on the upper plate? (d) At what extrapolated speed v will the magnetic force on a plate balance the electric force on the plate? Suggestion: Use Amperes law and choose a path that closes between the plates of the capacitor.
