Chapter 8, Problem 4C
The right-hand rule is a way to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by moving charges. Imagine wrapping your right hand around the path of the charges so that the positive charges (or the current) flow from the little finger side of your fist to the thumb side (Figure 8.53). Then your fingers circle the path in the same direction as the magnetic field lines. Use this rule to verify the directions of the magnetic fields shown in Figures 8.8 and 8.10. How would you use the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field lines around a moving negative charge?

Using your basic understanding of magnetism and its laws, explain that, if a charged particle is not deflected in passing through a certain region of space, it does not necessarily mean that magnetic field does not exist in that region.
consider a circular spire located in the void in the presence of a B field as shown in the figure
What is the magnetic moment of the spire and what is the net torque on the spire
Imagine that there is 0.8 A running through a metal (7.6 x1028 electrons/m3) wire with a square cross-sectional area of width 0.6 cm. We also place this wire into a uniform magnetic field, such that a potential difference of 6.5 x 10-8 V is across the wire (from one edge to the other, as we discussed in class on the Hall Effect). What is the magntiude of this magnetic field?
