The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory once held the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. Their largest hybrid magnet can produce a constant magnetic field of 45 T. To see if such a strong magnetic field could pose health risks for nearby workers, calculate the maximum acceleration amax the field could produce for Na* ions (of mass 3.8 × 10-26 kg) in blood traveling through the aorta. The speed of blood is highly variable, but 45 cm/s is reasonable in the aorta.

Let's take the Earth's magnetic field BE = 1.70 x 10-4 T pointing north. A metal cable attached to a space station stretches by 1.4 km. What would be the potential difference ( ΔΔ V) that develops between the ends of the cable if it’s traveling eastbound around Earth with a speed 4.4 km/s?
A student performs an experiment to study the magnetic force on a current carrying wire placed in an external magnetic field. The magnetic field is uniform. A wire is placed making an angle 0 with the magnetic field lines. The student keeps the magnetic field, the current flowing in the wire and the length of the wire fixed. She measures the force on the wire for different values of 0. She wants to plot F versus some function of 0, such that she can obtain a linear graph. What function of 0 should she use? Select one: O cot(0) cos(0) sin(0) O tan(0)

| Scientists in a laboratory onboard a zero-gravity spaceship setup and measure electric and magnetic fields in an experiment chamber. The scientists measure the magnetic field to point in the positive x-direction given by B = B,î. The scientists then measure the net force acting on a charged particle q moving through this chamber. The net force is measured to be F = -F,î + F2j. The particle is moving along the positive z-axis with a velocity given by i = v,k. What are the x and y components of the electric field as measured by the scientists? Express your answers in terms of q, vo, Ba, F1, and F2, as needed.

The circular particle accelerator at CERN has a radius of about 2.24 km. The accelerator uses strong magnetic fields to steer charged particles in a circle, while electric fields give them more and more energy every time around. Suppose we're steering protons using magnetic fields of magnitude 8.22 T. What would be the magnitude of the momentum, p, of a proton under those conditions? You may assume that the magnetic field involved is perpendicular to the motion of the charges (that's the most efficient configuration).
