The loop shown below has a radius of 12 cm and is placed in a magnetic field oriented into the page, as shown. The resistance of the loop is 5 ohms. The magnitude of the magnetic field may be modeled as B(t )=3−2t . Determine the magnitude and direction of the current in the loop at time t = 3 seconds.
A straight, stiff, horizontal wire of length 20cm and mass 30g is connected to a source of emf by light, flexible leads. A magnetic field of 1.33 T is horizontal and perpendicular to the wire. Find the current necessary to float the wire, that is, find the current for which the magnetic force balances the weight of the wire.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) measures electric activity of neurons in the brain. Electroencephalograms and electromyograms respectively measure similar activity over the scalp and over the skin surrounding muscle cells. Because the electrical activity of the human body varies with time, the time-varying electric fields in the body lead to the generation of magnetic fields that can then be measured. The magnetocardiogram, developed in the 1960s, was the first such device. More recently, superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDS) have been used for these measurements. One important application of this technique is the monitoring of the fetal heart by measuring the magnetic field produced by currents in the heart at the surface of the mother's abdomen. The fetal heart at 28 weeks gestation can be modeled as a single-loop coil 1.50 cm in diameter, oriented so that the plane of the loop is parallel to the abdominal surface of the mother, and a magnetic field of 10.0 pT is typically…
Sodium ions (Na+) move at 0.858 m/s through a bloodstream in the arm of a person standing near a large magnet. The magnetic field has a strength of 0.254 T and makes an angle of 57.0° with the motion of the sodium ions. The arm contains 115 cm³ of blood with a concentration of 4.00 x 1020 Na+ ions per cubic centimeter. If no other ions were present in the arm, what would be the magnetic force on the arm? N
A 1000 kg automobile drive west along the equator near Lake George in Uganda. At this location the earth’s magnetic field is 3.5 x 10 ^-5 T and points north parallel to the earth’s surface. If the automobile carries a charge of -20 x 10^-6 charge, how fast must it move so that the magnetic force balances 0.010 percent of its weight?
The electric field between the plates of a gear selector in a mass spectrometer is 1×105 V/m. The magnetic field of the speed selector is the same as that of the spectrometer. A beam of +e charged neon ions leaving the speed selector moves in a circular path in the spectrometer before hitting the photographic plate.

During a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment, a magnetic field, typically of magnitude 5.00 T, is produced in the brain using external coils. During the treatment, the current in the coils (and hence the magnetic field in the brain) rises from zero to its peak in about 65.0 us . Assume that the magnetic field is uniform over a circular area of diameter 2.00 x 10-² m inside the brain. What is the magnitude of the average induced emf around this region of the brain during the treatment? average induced emf: V
