A conducting sheet lies in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field B that is below the sheet. If B oscillates at a high frequency and the conductor is made of a material of low resistivity, the region above the sheet is effectively shielded from B . Explain why. Will the conductor shield this region from static magnetic fields?
An electron moving with a velocity v=(4.0i+3.0j+2.0k)106m/s enters a region where there is a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is given by v=(1.0i2.0j+4.0k)102T. If the electron travels through a region without being deflected, what is the electric field?
When a magnet is thrust into a coil as in Figure 23.4(a), what is the direction of the louse exerted by the coil on the magnet? Draw a diagram showing the direction of the current induced in the coil and the magnetic field it produces, to justify your response. How does the magnitude of the force depend on the resistance of the galvanometer?
Suppose you install a compass on the center of a cars dashboard. (a) Assuming the dashboard is made mostly of plastic, compute an order-of-magnitude estimate for the magnetic field at this location produced by the current when you switch on the cars headlights. (b) How does this estimate compare with the Earths magnetic field?
Explain why the magnetic field would not be unique (that is, not have a single value) at a point in space where magnetic field lines might cross. (Consider the direction of the field at such a point.)

What is the direction of the magnetic force on a positive charge that moves as shown in each of the six cases shown in Figure 22.59?
A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.50106m/s perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is 1.00105T. What is the radius of the circular pain the electron follows?
Consider a magnetic field that is uniform in direction throughout a certain volume. (a) Can the field be uniform in magnitude? (b) Must it be uniform in magnitude? Give evidence for your answers.

What creates a magnetic Hold? More than one answer may be correct, (a) a stationary object with electric charge (b) a moving object with electric charge (c) a stationary conductor carrying electric current (d) a difference in electric potential (e) a charged capacitor disconnected from a battery and at rest Note: In Chapter 34, we will see that a changing electric field also creates a magnetic field.
