Chapter 9, Problem 12A
What does it mean to say that in any system the total energy score stays the same?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The meaning of the statement that says that in any system, the total energy score stays the same.
Answer to Problem 12A
It means that the total energy of an isolated system always remains the same.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
As per law of conservation of energy, the energy of an isolated system cannot be destroyed or created. It always converts from one form to the another.
Since in an isolated system, the energy always converts from one form to the another, hence the total energy of the system always stays the same.
Conclusion:
Hence, in an isolated system, the total amount of the energy never changes.

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why.
