Young domestic chickens have the ability to orient themselves in the earth's magnetic field. Researchers used a set of two coils to adjust the magnetic field in the chicks' pen. (Figure 1) shows the two coils, whose centers coincide, seen edge-on. The axis of coil 1 is parallel to the ground and points to the north; the axis of coil 2 is oriented vertically. Each coil has 27 turns and a radius of 1.4 m. At the location of the experiment, the earth's field had a magnitude of 5.6 × 10 ³ T and pointed to the north, tilted up from the horizontal by 61°.

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 250 turns enclosing an area of 10.5 cm^3 is rotated during the time interval 3.10 x 10^-2 s from a position in which it’s plane is perpendicular to Earth’s magnetic field to one in which it’s plane is parallel to the field. The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at the lab location is 7.00 x 10^-5 T. Part A: What is the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the coil before it is rotated? Part B: What is the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the coil after it is rotated? Part C: What is the magnitude of the average emf induced in the coil?
A physicist measures the magnetic field at the center of a loop of wire with N number of turns (not a solenoid) and current I flowing through it. They then triple the number of coils and half the radius of the coil while keeping the current the same. How does the magnetic field compare in the new situation, B2, compared to the first measurement, B1? B2 = (2/3)B1 B2 = 6B1 None of the above B2 = (3/2)B1 B2 = (1/6)B1

Imagine a satellite (Pioneer 10) in an orbit around Ganymede (Jupiter's moon). You want to generate electricity by attaching a conducting cable 10km long. If the speed of the satellite is 7 km/s and the magnetic field of Ganymede is 60 nT how much emf will be generated? (Hint1: assume that magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane which contains the cable. Hint2: you can think of it as motional emf) Is it possible to produce electricity this way forever? Explain your answer.
