An infinitely long straight wire carrying a
current I1 = 37 A is partially surrounded by
a loop as in figure. The loop has a length
L = 31.5 cm, a radius R = 11.1 cm, and
carries a current I2 = 29.7 A. The axis of the
loop coincides with the wire.

Correct answer: 1247.4 µN.
Explanation:
Let : I1 = 37 A,
I2 = 29.7 A,
L = 31.5 cm = 0.315 m, and
R = 11.1 cm = 0.111 m.
The central wire creates field

The curved portions of the loop feels zero

portions both feel I2~l × B~ forces to the right,

A bar of negligible resistance and mass of
94 kg in the figure is pulled horizontally across
frictionless parallel rails, also of negligible resistance, by a massless string that passes over
an ideal pulley and is attached to a suspended
mass of 490 g. The uniform magnetic field
has a magnitude of 650 mT, and the distance
between the rails is 39 cm. The rails are connected at one end by a load resistor of 46 mΩ.

Correct answer: 3.43735 m/s.
Explanation:
Let : m = 94 kg ,
M = 490 g = 0.49 kg ,
` = 39 cm = 0.39 m ,
B = 650 mT , and
R = 46 mΩ = 0.046 Ω .

It follows from Lenz’s law that the magnetic force opposes the motion of the bar.
When the wire acquires steady-state speed,
the gravitational force Fg is counter-balanced
by the magnetic force Fm.

Note: We have ignored the minus sign from
