[link] shows a long straight wire just touching a loop carrying a current I 1 size 12{I rSub { size 8{1} } } {} . Both lie in the same plane. (a) What direction must the current I 2 size 12{I rSub { size 8{2} } } {} in the straight wire have to create a field at the center of the loop in the direction opposite to that created by the loop? (b) What is the ratio of I 1 / I 2 size 12{I rSub { size 8{1} } /I rSub { size 8{2} } } {} that gives zero field strength at the center of the loop? (c) What is the direction of the field directly above the loop under this circumstance?

Two wires are shown. Wire one is in a loop of radios R and has a current I one. Wire two is straight and runs diagonally from the lower left to the upper right with current I two

(a) A pendulum is set up so that its bob (a thin copper disk) swings between the poles of a permanent magnet as shown in [link] . What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the bob at the lowest point in its path, if it has a positive 0 . 250 μC size 12{0 "." "250"`"μC"} {} charge and is released from a height of 30.0 cm above its lowest point? The magnetic field strength is 1.50 T. (b) What is the acceleration of the bob at the bottom of its swing if its mass is 30.0 grams and it is hung from a flexible string? Be certain to include a free-body diagram as part of your analysis.
