A 13.0g wire of length L = 62.0 cm is suspended by a pair of flexible leads in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.440T (Fig. 28-41). What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (left or right) of the current required to remove the tension in the supporting leads?

Figure 28-25 shows the path of a particle through six regions of uniform magnetic field, where the path is either a half-circle or a quarter-circle. Upon leaving the last region, the particle travels between two charged, parallel plates and is deflected toward the plate of higher potential. What is the direction of the magnetic field in each of the six regions?

A proton, a deuteron (q=+e, m=2.0u), and an alpha particle (q=+2e, m=4.0u) are accelerated through the same potential difference and then enter the same region of uniform magnetic field, moving perpendicular to . What is the ratio of (a) the proton’s kinetic energy Kp to the alpha particle’s kinetic energy Ka and (b) the deuteron’s kinetic energy Kd to Ka? If the radius of the proton’s circular path is 10cm, what is the radius of (c) the deuteron’s path and (d) the alpha particle’s path
Question: In Fig. 28-57, the two ends of a U-shaped wire of mass m=10.0gand length L=20.0cmare immersed in mercury (which is a conductor).The wire is in a uniform field of magnitude B=0.100T. A switch (unshown) is rapidly closed and then reopened, sending a pulse of current through the wire, which causes the wire to jump upward. If jump height h=3.00m, how much charge was in the pulse? Assume that the duration of the pulse is much less than the time of flight. Consider the definition of impulse (Eq. 9-30) and its relationship with momentum (Eq. 9-31). Also consider the relationship between charge and current (Eq. 26-2).

A particular type of fundamental particle decays by transforming into an electron and a positron . Suppose the decaying particle is at rest in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude3.53mT and the and move away from the decay point in paths lying in a plane perpendicular to . How long after the decay do the and collide?
