Figure 1 is a sectional view of two circular coils with radius ?, each wound with ? turns of wire carrying a current ?, circulating in the same direction in both coils. The coils are separated by a distance ? equal to their radii. In this configuration the coils are called Helmholtz coils; they produce a very uniform magnetic field in the region between them.

A sort of "projectile launcher" is shown in (Figure 1). A large current moves in a closed loop composed of fixed rails, a power supply, and a very light, almost frictionless bar (pale green) touching the rails.

If the bar has a length ℓ = 30 cm , a mass of 1.5 g , and is placed in a field of 1.5 T , what constant current flow is needed to accelerate the bar from rest to 20 m/s in a distance of 1.5 m ? What is the direction?

For this diagram, if each wire has current of 15A, how do we calculate the magnetic cforce imposed onto the top wire? How do we calculate the magnetic field in the center of the triangle? It would be great if someone could include the RHR stuff as well, with drawing direction of magnetic field for each point.
A square loop of wire, with sides of length 12 cm, is bent by 90∘ along a line halfway between two of its opposite sides, as shown in (Figure 1). A uniform magnetic field of 0.40 T is then applied at an angle of 45∘ from both faces of the bent loop. What is the magnetic flux through the loop?
