1.Calculate the force on a 47.38-microC positive charge due to the Earth’s magnetic field(1 T) if you throw it with a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s due west in a place where the Earth’s field is due north parallel to the ground. 

2. A wire carrying a 12-A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet that is perpendicular to its field and experiences a 1.1-N force on the 8 cm of wire in the field. What is the average field strength

3.During a demonstration of fiber optics, Mr. H uses an acrylic light pipe to demonstrate total internal reflection for light as it navigates its way through a curved medium, entering at one end and exitting at the other with very little loss of light along the way.If the acrylic has an index of refraction of 1.48, then determine its critical angle when surrounded by air.
