An alternating current flows down a long straight wire, and returns along a coaxial conducting tube of radius a.
(a) In what direction does the induced electric field point (radial, circumferential, or longitudinal)?
(b) Assuming that the field goes to zero as , find
A square loop (side a) is mounted on a vertical shaft and rotated at angular velocity (Fig. 7.19). A uniform magnetic field B points to the right. Find thefor this alternating current generator.

A long cylindrical shell of radius carries a uniform surface charge on the upper half and an opposite charge on the lower half (Fig. 3.40). Find the electric potential inside and outside the cylinder.
In the discussion of motional emf (Sect. 7.1.3) assumed that the wire loop (Fig. 7.10) has a resistance ; the current generated is then . But what if the wire is made out of perfectly conducting material, so that is zero? In that case, the current is limited only by the back emf associated with the self-inductance of the loop (which would ordinarily be negligible in comparison with ). Show that in this regime the loop (mass ) executes simple harmonic motion, and find its frequency. [Answer: ].
Suppose a magnetic monopole passes through a resistanceless loop of wire with self-inductance L . What current is induced in the loop?
