The element niobium, which is a metal, is a superconductor (i.e., no electrical resistance) at temperatures below . How-ever, the superconductivity is destroyed if the magnetic field at the surface of the metal reaches or exceeds . What is the maximum current in a straight, --diameter superconducting niobium wire?
a. A 65-cm-diameter cyclotron uses a oscillating potential difference between the Dees. What is the maximum kinetic energy of a proton if the magnetic field strength is ?
b. How many revolutions does the proton make before leaving the cyclotron?

The magnetic field at the center of diameter loop is .
a. What is the current in the loop?
b. A long straight wire carries the same current you found in part a. At what distance from the wire is the magnetic field?
The on-axis magnetic field strength from a small bar magnet is .
a. What is the bar magnet’s magnetic dipole moment?
b. What is the on-axis field strength 15 cm from the magnet?
The heart produces a weak magnetic field that can be used to diagnose certain heart problems. It is a dipole field produced by a current loop in the outer layers of the heart.
a. It is estimated that the field at the center of the heart is . What current must circulate around an -diameter loop, about the size of a human heart, to produce this field?
b. What is the magnitude of the heart’s magnetic dipole moment.
