A Hall-effect probe to measure magnetic field strengths needs to be calibrated in a known magnetic field. Although it is not easy to do, magnetic fields can be precisely measured by measuring the cyclotron frequency of protons. A testing laboratory adjusts a magnetic field until the proton's cyclotron frequency is . At this field strength, the Hall voltage on the probe iswhen the current through the probe is. Later, when an unknown magnetic field is measured, the Hall voltage at the same current is. What is the strength of this magnetic field?
What is the current direction in the wire of FIGURE Q29.5? Explain.
a. What is the magnitude of the torque on the current loop in FIGURE EX29.40?
b. What is the loop’s equilibrium orientation?

A proton in a cyclotron gains of kinetic energy per revolution, where is the potential between the dees. Although the energy gain comes in small pulses, the proton makes so many revolutions that it is reasonable to model the energy as increasing at the constant rate , where is the period of the cyclotron motion. This is power input because it is a rate of increase of energy.
