An infinite number of thin parallel wires are grouped into two sheets. One sheet spans from (x,y) = (- ∞, 5cm) to (x,y) = (+ ∞ , 5cm) and the other spans from (x,y) = (-∞ , - 5cm) to (x,y) = (+ ∞, - 5cm) . These wires all carry a current of 5A out of the page and there are 10 wires per cm.
Determine, in T, the magnetic field in the x direction inside the two sheets at y=0. Include the appropriate sign in your answer

A 1600 kg satellite is orbitting the earth in a circular orbit with an altitude of 1600 km.
How much energy does it take just to get it to this altitude?
How much kinetic energy does it have once it has reached this altitude?
What is the ratio of the this change in potential energy to the change in kinetic energy? (i.e. what is (a)/(b)?)
What would this ratio be if the final altitude of the satellite were 4500 km?
What would this ratio be if the final altitude of the satellite were 3185 km?

A current I flows to the right through a rectangular bar of conducting material, in the presence of a uniform magnetic field B pointing out of the page.
a) If the moving charges are positive, in which direction are they deflected by the magnetic field? This deflection results in an accumulation of charge on the upper and lower surfaces of the bar, which in turn produces an electric force to counteract the magnetic force. Equilibrium occurs when the two exactly cancel. (This phenomenon is called the Hall effect).
b) Find the resulting potential difference (the Hall voltage) between the top and bottom of the bar, in terms of B, v (the speed of the charges), and the relevant dimensions of the bar.
c) How would your analysis change if the moving charges were negative? [The Hall effect is the classic way of determining the sign of the mobile charge carriers].

A wing of area 1.5 ft2 and aspect ratio of 6 is tested in a subsonic wind tunnel at a velocity of 77 knots at standard sea level conditions. At an angle of attack of -1 degree, the measured lift and drag are 0 and 0.181 lb, respectively. At an angle of attack of 2 degrees, the lift and drag are measured as 5.0 and .23 lb, respectively. Calculate the span efficiency factor (i.e. Oswald efficiency factor).
