A current was sent through a helical coil spring. The spring contracted, as though it had been compressed. Why?
Due to opposite poles which area attracted to each other cause the spring compress.

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric
signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a
sudden rush of ions, each with charge , into the axon. Measurements
have revealed that typically about ions enter each meter of the
axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge
in a meter of axon?
Suppose you bring a slab of dielectric close to the gap between the plates of a charged capacitor, preparing to slide it between the plates. What force will you feel? What does this force tell you about the energy stored between the plates once the dielectric is in place, compared to before the dielectric is in place.
In the circuit shown in Fig. Q26.4, three identical light bulbs are connected to a flashlight battery. How do the brightnesses of the bulbs compare? Which light bulb has the greatest current passing through it? Which light bulb has the greatest potential difference between its terminals? What happens if bulb A is unscrewed? Bulb B? Bulb C? Explain your reasoning.
The capacity of a storage battery, such as those used in automobile electrical systems, is rated in ampere-hours .A battery can supply a current offor or for and so on. (a) What total energy can be supplied by a battery if its internal resistance is negligible? (b) What volume (in litres) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (See Section 17.6; the density of gasoline is .) (c) If a generator with an average electrical power output ofrole="math" localid="1655719210000" is connected to the battery, how much time will be required for it to charge the battery fully?
Displacement Current in a Dielectric. Suppose that the parallel plates in Fig. 29.23 have an area of 3.00 cm2 and are separated by a 2.50-mm-thick sheet of dielectric that completely fills the volume between the plates. The dielectric has dielectric constant 4.70. (You can ignore fringing effects.) At a certain instant, the potential difference between the plates is 120 V and the conduction current iC equals 6.00 mA. At this instant, what are (a) the charge q on each plate; (b) the rate of change of charge on the plates; (c) the displacement current in the dielectric?
