Please WAIT to open the exam! When told to begin, you may
tear off this first sheet.
General instructions
No notes or electronics. Please silence and stow all phones (being sure to turn off
notifications and alarms).
The exam consists of short (multiple choice) questions and five problems of varying length.
The entire exam is worth 100 points; the points for each problem are indicated.
Once you
are allowed to begin,
you are encouraged to look through the whole exam before starting.
You will have 110 minutes to complete the exam. The exam is worth 100 points, so you have
slightly more time than one minute per point.
Be sure to write your name on every separate sheet at the top!
Please refrain from taking out-of-seat breaks (e.g. to use the bathroom) if possible. During
the exam you may ask for assistance by raising a hand. A proctor will listen to your question
or concern, but will NOT answer ANY questions individually.
If your question or concern
requires a clarification or correction, we will provide it on the boards for all students.
Please look only at your own exam and protect your work from wandering eyes. All students
will be asked to sign an integrity statement at the end.
Instructions for the Problems
To receive full credit on the problems,
all reasoning must be shown
.
Explain your reasoning with words, brief phrases, arrows, and other common conventions so that
your answer and reasoning are easily understood.
Start by writing down basic definitions or equations that you are using in your solution.
Only the equations given on the equation sheet can be used without derivation.

Try all parts
—even if you feel you cannot answer a preceding part.
For directions of
vectors, symbols or words are acceptable, e.g.,
𝑥ො
,
𝚤̂
, “in the +x direction,”
“clockwise and circumferential,” “radially outward from the center”,
𝑟̂
, “radially inward toward
the axis”,
−𝑟̂
, etc
Be
careful
, be
concise
, but be
complete
.
No extra scratch paper is allowed – write all of your work in the space provided on the test. This
may count towards partial credit!

field is out of the page, as shown in the figure. The electric charge of
each of the three particles is, respectively
A)
1 is negative, 2 is neutral, and 3 is positive.
B)
1 is positive, 2 is negative, and 3 is neutral.
C)

upward
B)
downward
C)
into the page

A) Apply magnetic force (Lorentz) and right hand
rule:

B.
Sign of charge can reverse force.
First find the magnetic field due to the wire, using the right hand
rule (Thumb in direction of current). Then apply the magnetic
force as above. Again, the negative charge reverses the force.
1 pt: Mag field from straight wire is out of page and grows
weaker with distance from the wire. Force on lower wire of
loop is downward and stronger than force on upper wire
(which is upward). So net force is downward. The two side
wires have equal and opposite forces.
1 pt: There is no net torque because all forces are in the
plane of the loop.
4)
In the figure, the inner loop carries a clockwise current I that is
decreasing. The resistor R is in the outer loop and both loops are
in the same plane. The induced current through the resistor R is
A)
From
a
to
b
.
B)
From
b
to
a
.
C)
There is no induced current.
5)
In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetic fields are oriented such that they are
A)
parallel to one another and parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
B)
perpendicular to one another and parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
C)
perpendicular to one another and perpendicular to the direction of wave
propagation.
D)
parallel to one another and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
6)
A ray of light goes from one transparent material into another, as shown in
the figure. What can you conclude about the indices of refraction of these
two materials?
A)
n

B)
n

C)
n

2
D)
The relationship between cannot be determined from this diagram alone.
7)
When light goes from one material into another material having a HIGHER index of refraction,
A) its speed decreases but its frequency and wavelength stay the same.
B) its speed decreases but its wavelength and frequency both increase.
C) its speed increases, its wavelength decreases, and its frequency stays the same.
D) its speed, wavelength, and frequency all decrease.
E) its speed and wavelength decrease, but its frequency stays the same.
8)
A negative magnification for a mirror means that
A) the image is upright.
B) the image is inverted.
C) the image is on the opposite side of the mirror as the object.
D) the image is reduced
E) Two of the above are correct.

The magnetic field due to the small loop is into
the page and decreasing.
Lenz's law says that the outer loop will have an induced current that goes
against the change; therefore, there will be a clockwise current induced in
the outer loop, which means current will flow b to a.
The light bends away from the normal so medium 2 must have a
lower index of refraction according to Snell's law (or simply that
changes in angle are inverse to changes in index of refraction.
EM waves are transverse and the E and B fields are mutually
perpendicular, so all three are mutually perpendicular.
By definition the speed
decreases. Given that and
wavelength f = speed, we see that
the wavelength must decrease.
By definition a negative magnification means the
image is inverted (relative to the object). None of
the other choices are correct.

A single current-carrying circular loop of radius R is placed next
to a long, straight wire, as shown in the figure. The current I in
the wire flows to the right. In which direction must current flow
in the loop to possibly produce a net magnetic field of zero at its
center?
A) clockwise
B) counterclockwise
C) It could be either clockwise or counterclockwise.
D) The current in the loop should be zero.
10)
A lighted candle is placed a short distance from a plane mirror, as
shown in the figure. At which location will the image of the flame
appear to be located?
A) at A

The magnetic field from the straight wire is out of the
page in the loop. So the current in the loop must be
clockwise to counter the field from the straight wire.
The image appears to be directly
opposite the object as we often
experience in the bathroom.
Please read all the instructions for the problems on the cover sheet! Most importantly:
To receive full credit on the problems, all reasoning must be shown
.
1)
(24 pts) You move a rigid square loop of wire with
constant velocity
v
0
in the x-direction into a constant,
uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is zero for
x
< 0. For
x
> 0 the magnetic field has magnitude
B
0
in
the +z direction. The field extends well beyond the
loop along the y-axis. Each edge of the loop has length
L and resistance R, and the loop lies in the
x-y
plane.
The following questions a) – c) concern the situation
where the leading edge is moving into the field
(beyond x=0), and the trailing edge is outside the field
(before x=0), as shown in the figure.
For the following, give your answer in terms of the symbols defined here (such as
B
0
,
L, v
0
),
as well as any known constants, such as ε
0
, π, etc. You must show your work and explain
your reasoning.
a)
What is the electric current (magnitude and direction), if any, through segment AB? (For
direction, state “A to B” or “B to A.”)

What is the net force (magnitude and direction), if any, on the magnetic loop?
After some time the whole loop will be in the magnetic field, its velocity still
v
0
in the x-direction.
c)
In this situation, what is the electric current (magnitude and direction), if any, through segment AB?
d)
In this situation, how much work must you do, if any, to push the loop a distance
L
in the x direction?
The

the
loop
is
moving
at

the

.
You
do
not
need
to
apply
a
force
on
the
loop
to
keep
it

so
you
do

students computed the magnetic (or applied)
force for which they would also get full credit!

(18 pts) Suppose you have a concave mirror with a radius of curvature
R
= 6 cm. You place a small
object 2 cm away from the mirror. Our goal will be to characterize the image produced by this
arrangement.
a) Draw the mirror in the space below, and ray trace this situation using the space provided below.
Be sure that you label the mirror, object, image, foci, and
R
. And include all three principal (or
“special”) rays. (Note you can use the ruler provided on the formula sheet!)
b) Use the mirror equation to algebraically solve the problem of where the image appears and reconcile
with your ray tracing.
c) With justification from the figure and your algebra, explain how we know if the image is real or
virtual.
d) Calculate the size and the magnification of the image.
e) With justifications from the figure and your algebra, explain how we know if the image is upright or
inverted.
The image distance is negative, which for a mirror, means the image is on the opposite side
of the mirror from the object. This is consistent with the ray-tracing which shows that you
can only see the image by looking into the mirror. This is a "cosmetic mirror" situation.
The magnification is positive; therefore, the image is upright (un-inverted).
This is consistent with the ray- tracing.

3. [ 12 pts] a) What is the wavelength of KALX (91 MHz), calculated to one significant figure? (Assume
that transmission in air is equivalent to that in the vacuum.)
b) Write an expression for the E field transmission along a line from the antenna to you. Use a coordinate
system where the antenna is at the origin and a straight line to you is the x-axis. Define any symbols you
use.
c) If the transmission is 5 km from your radio, assuming the transmitted energy goes equally in all
directions, what is the power of the station if your radio receives 1 microwatt using an antenna with an
effective surface area of 10 sq cm? (Again, do the calculations to one sig. fig.)
The final answer was erroneously written as "30 cm" in
the original posting. Corrected Dec 29).
4. [12 pts] You have been asked to find a glowing
toy in a pond of water as you look into the pond
from the bank as in the figure. (In this problem
ignore the possibility of light scattering or
reflecting off other objects, dust, etc.)
a)
If the toy sat on the bottom, 4 m below the
surface, and near the edge of the pool closest to
you, about how far below the surface would the
toy appear to be?
b) In the situation shown above, draw a ray of light from the toy to your eyes.
Include any reflections at
the surface and label the relevant angles (incident, reflected, etc.). Write the relationship between the
angles using simply an equal sign (=) or inequalities (< or >) in the following space:
c) Assuming perfect clarity of the water (meaning you could see through any amount of water), could you
see the light from the toy regardless of how far it is from the edge where you are standing? Explain in
words and using your diagram. (No credit here for “yes” or “no.” You must make a physical/
mathematical argument.)
When objects in a medium of high index of refraction
n
are view from a
medium of lower
n
, they look magnified. This was derived in lecture and in
the textbook (Eq. 2.10), and it is on the formula sheet (circled at right).
Therefore, the apparent depth of the toy is (
n
air
/
n
wat
) 4 m (1/(4/3)) 4 m = 3 m.
No, there is a distance at which the incident angle is the
critical angle. At this distance--and all greater distances--the
refracted light disappears; there is "total internal reflection,"
and the toy cannot be seen, no matter how low you crouch,
as long as you remain outside the water.
Students were not asked to calculate the distance, but it is
related to the depth by geometry. Use Snell's law and tan
(critical angle) = max_dist/depth. This gives max_dist =
depth/sqrt(1.33^2 - 1) ~ 5 m.

[14 pts] Two concentric, very long conducting cylinders are
shown in the figure. The inner
cylinder is a solid conductor and
carries a current
I
, uniformly
distributed over its volume
.
The
outer cylinder is a conducting shell
that carries a total current -2
I
.
Treat
I
and the radii
R
1
,
R
2
, and
R
3
as known.
In the following show your work/logic carefully and report the
𝐵
ሬ⃗
field magnitude and direction. The
points (A, B, C) should be described by the radii:
R
A
,
R
B
,
R
C
. Your answers to the following can use
any symbols defined above as well as known constants such as
k
, ε
0
, π, etc.
a.
What is the
𝐵
ሬ⃗
field at point A?
b.
What is the
𝐵
ሬ⃗
field at point B?
c.
What is the
𝐵
ሬ⃗
field at point C?
Use Ampere's law for all three points.
The integral becomes just the magnetic field times a circle's
circumference since the B-field is
constant and circumferential.
The total current enclosed is -
I
since
I
- 2
I
= -
I
.
The direction is circumferential and clockwise in
the cross section.
The current through the inner conductor is to the right.
(Out of the page in the cross-section.)
The direction is circumferential and counter-
clockwise in the cross section.
We again apply Ampere's law but now we need to divide I_0 by the fraction of area enclosed.
The direction is circumferential and counter-clockwise in the cross section.
