1. A particle with
15.0-g wire that is 2.00 m long carries a current of 8.00 A. This wire is aligned horizontally along
the west-east direction with the current going from west to east. You want to support the wire against gravity
using the weakest possible uniform external magnetic field.
(a) Which way should the magnetic field point?
(b) What is the magnitude of the weakest possible magnetic field you could use?
3. The figure shows

magnitude of the current induced in the coil at the time

B) 9.2 mA
C) 7.5 mA
D) 4.2 mA
E) 2.6 mA
7. A conducting bar moves
along frictionless
conducting rails connected to a 4.00-
resistor as shown in the figure. The length of
the bar is 1.60 m and a uniform magnetic
field of 2.20 T is applied perpendicular to the
paper pointing outward, as shown.
(a) What is the applied force required to
move the bar to the right with a constant
speed of 6.00 m/s?
(b) At what rate is energy dissipated in the 4.00 resistor?
8. An
LC circuit consists of a 3.4-F capacitor and a coil with a self-inductance 0.080 H and no appreciable
resistance. At t = 0 the capacitor has a charge of 5.4 C and the current in the inductor is zero.
(a) How long after t = 0 will the current in the circuit be maximum?
(b) What will be this maximum current?
