1. Given that B= 6x ax – 9y ay + 3z az Wb/m2, find the total force experienced by the
rectangular loop (on z=0 plane) shown in the following figure.

2. If H=y ax – x ay A/m on plane z=0, (a) Determine the current density and (b) Verify
Ampere’s Law by taking the circulation of H around the edge of a rectangle z=0,
0<x<3, -1<y<4.

3. A rectangular loop of wire in free space joins points A (1,0,1) to B (3,0,1) to C (3,0,4)
to D (1,0,4) to A again. The wire carries a current of 6mA, flowing in the az direction
from B to C. A filamentary current of 15A flows along the entire z-axis in the az
direction. (a) Find F on side BC, (b) Find F on side AB, (c) Find Ftotal on the loop.

4. A thin ring of radius 5cm is placed on plane z=1cm so that its center is at (0, 0, 1) cm.
If the ring carries 50mA along aϕ, find H at (0, 0, -1) cm.
