Two circular loops are parallel, coaxial, and almost in contact, with their centers 1.00 mm apart (Fig. P29.40). Each loop is 10.0 cm in radius. The top loop carries a clockwise current of I = 140 A. The bottom loop carries a counter-clockwise current of I = 140 A. (a) Calculate the magnetic force exerted by the bottom loop on the top loop.

Review. A rod of mass 0.720 kg and radius 6.00 cm rests on two parallel rails (Fig. P28.23) that are d = 12.0 cm apart and L = 45.0 cm long. The rod carries a current of I = 48.0 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails without slipping. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.240 T is directed perpendicular to the rod and the rails. If it starts from rest, what is the speed of the rod as it leaves the rails?
