In FIGURE P31.33, a circular loop of radius travels with speed along a charged wire having linear charge density . The wire is at rest in the laboratory frame, and it passes through the center of the loop.
a. What are and at a point on the loop as measured by a scientist in the laboratory? Include both strength and direction.
b. What are the fields and at a point on the loop as measured by a scientist in the frame of the loop?
c. Show that an experimenter in the loop’s frame sees a currentpassing through the center of the loop.
d. What electric and magnetic fields would an experimenter in the loop’s frame calculate at distance r from the current of part c?
e. Show that your fields of parts b and d are the same.

Unpolarized light with intensity passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second polarizing filter. It emerges from the second filter with intensity . What is the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter?
When the Voyager spacecraft passed Neptune in , it was from the earth. Its radio transmitter, with which it sent back data and images, broadcast with a mere of power. Assuming that the transmitter broadcast equally in all directions,
a. What signal intensity was received on the earth
b. What electric field amplitude was detected
The received signal was somewhat stronger than your result because the spacecraft used a directional antenna, but not by much.
A radio wave is traveling in the negative-direction. What is the direction of at a point whereis in the positive-direction?
