A long straight wire lies on a horizontal table and carries an ever-increasing current toward the north. Two coils of wire lie flat on the table, on on either side of the wire. When viewed from above, the direction of the induced current is
| clockwise for the west coil |
| counterclockwise for the west coil |
| There is no induced current in the west coil |
| clockwise for the east coil |
| counterclockwise for the east coil |
| There is no induced current in the east coil. |

A rail gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a
projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism of
acceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the
following example. A metal rod of mass 40.0 g and electrical
resistance 0.200 Ωrests on parallel horizontal rails that have
negligible electric resistance. The rails are a distance L
= 10.0 cm apart. (Figure 1) The rails are also connected to a
voltage source providing a voltage of V = 5.00 V .
The rod is placed in a vertical magnetic field. The rod begins to
slide when the field reaches the value B =
7.84×10−2 T . Assume that the rod has a slightly
flattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling. Use 9.80
m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
Find μs, the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails.

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q1= -19.0 nC , is located at x1 = -1.700 m; the second charge, q2 q= 40.0 nC , is at the origin (x = 0).
What is (Fnet3)x the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 54.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3= -1.160 m ?
Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

A thin-walled hollow cylinder with mass m1 and radius R1 rolls without slipping on the inner wall of a larger thin-walled hollow cylinder with mass m2 and radius R2 >> R1. Both cylinders' axes are aligned and horizontal, and some magical mechanism ensures this perfect friction contact between them. Unfortunately for you, the larger cylinder rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. Describe the motion including small oscillation frequencies near any equilibria if the systems is released from rest with the inner cylinder at some angle α0.
