Crocodiles are thought to be able to detect changes in the flux due to Earth's magnetic field as they move their heads. Suppose a crocodile is initially facing north. The horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is 23.0 µT. Consider a vertical, circular loop of neurons inside the crocodile's head with radius 10.8 cm. The loop is initially perpendicular to the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field. The crocodile rotates its head 90.0° until it is facing east in a time interval of 4.40 s. What is the average emf induced around this loop of neurons? μν

Solenoid A has length L and N turns, solenoid B has length 2L and N turns, and solenoid C has length L/2 and 2N turns. If each solenoid carries the same current, rank the magnitudes of the magnetic fields in the centers of the solenoids from largest to smallest.
A proton moving horizontally enters a region where a uniform magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the proton’s velocity as shown in Figure OQ22.4. After the proton enters the field, does it (a) deflect downward, with its speed remaining constant; (b) deflect upward, moving in a semicircular path with constant speed, and exit the field moving to the left; (c) continue to move in the horizontal direction with constant velocity; (d) move in a circular orbit and become trapped by the field; or (e) deflect out of the plane of the paper?

Why is the following situation impossible? Figure P28.46 shows an experimental technique for altering the direction of travel for a charged particle. A particle of charge q = 1.00 C and mass m = 2.00 1015 kg enters the bottom of the region of uniform magnetic field at speed = 2.00 105 m/s, with a velocity vector perpendicular to the field lines. The magnetic force on the particle causes its direction of travel to change so that it leaves the region of the magnetic field at the top traveling at an angle from its original direction. The magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.400 T and is directed out of the page. The length h of the magnetic field region is 0.110 m. An experimenter performs the technique and measures the angle at which the particles exit the top of the field. She finds that the angles of deviation are exactly as predicted. Figure P28.46
