1. A circular loop with a diameter of 15.0 cm lies on a horizontal plane as viewed from above. Through it
is a 3.8 A of current moving clockwise. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the
center of the loop?

2. An electron is moving to the -x at 2.00 x 105 𝑚/𝑠 through a uniform magnetic field of 1.4 𝑥 10−4 𝑇
along the +y. What is the magnitude and direction of the force if the velocity of the electron and the
magnetic field are perpendicular to one another?

3. The hot and neutral wires supplying DC power to a light-rail commuter train carry 1000 A and are
separated by 100 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of the force between 50 m of these wires?

The force is out of the plane (positive) for the current travelling to +x.

The force is into the plane (negative) for the current travelling to -x.
The wire with a current travelling in -x is on top of the wire with a current travelling in +x so that the
forces are in opposite directions making them repulsive.

4. The force per meter between the two wires of a jumper cable being used to start a stalled car is 0.5
N/m. What is the current in the wires, given they are separated by 3 cm?

5. A helix of six circular loops of radius 7 cm carries current of 2.5 A. The flow is seen as counter
clockwise when viewed along a line perpendicular to the loops formed. What is the magnitude and
direction of magnetic field that this solenoid is creating?
