A small, square loop carries a current. The on-axis magnetic field strength from the loop is . What is the edge length of the square?
An electron in a cathode-ray tube is accelerated through a potential difference of , then passes through the wide region of uniform magnetic field in FIGURE. What field strength will deflect the electron by ?

shows a mass spectrometer, an analytical instrument used to identify the various molecules in a sample by measuring their charge-to-mass ratio . The sample is ionized, the positive ions are accelerated (starting from rest) through a potential differencelocalid="1648976601527" , and they then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector. As the accelerating voltage is slowly increased, different ions reach the detector and are measured. Consider a mass spectrometer with localid="1648976606181" a magnetic field and an localid="1648976610307" spacing between the entrance and exit holes. To five significant figures, what accelerating potential differences localid="1648978768434" are required to detect the ions localid="1648978902862" and localid="1648978898077" ? See Exercise localid="1648978753549" for atomic masses; the mass of the missing electron is less than localid="1648978758219" and is not relevant at this level of precision. Although localid="1648978910549" and localid="1648978778238" both have a nominal molecular mass of localid="1648978782098" , they are easily distinguished by virtue of their slightly different accelerating voltages. Use the following constants:

A square current loop on each side carries a current. The loop is in a uniform magnetic field. The axis of the loop, perpendicular to the plane of the loop, is ° away from the field direction. What is the magnitude of the torque on the current loop?
The coaxial cable shown in consists of a solid inner conductor of radius surrounded by a hollow, very thin outer conductor of radius . The two carry equal currents I, but in opposite directions. The current density is uniformly distributed over each conductor.
a. Find expressions for three magnetic fields: within the inner conductor, in the space between the conductors, and outside the outer conductor.
