side AC. The current in the loop is 4.64 A, and the magnetic field (parallel to the plane of the
loop and side AB) is B = 2.1 T. (a) What is the magnetic moment of the loop, and (b) what is the
magnitude of the net torque exerted on the loop by the magnetic field?
12 volt battery in your car supplies 1700 Joules of energy to run the headlights during a particular nighttime drive. How much charge must have flowed through the battery to provide this much energy? Give your answer as the number of Coulombs.
An x-y coordinate system is on the floor with a charge of +3.6 Coulombs at a location with coordinates x = -4.2 meters, y = 0 meters, and a charge of 1.2 Coulombs at a location with coordinates x = +7.5 meters, y = 0 meters.
