A coaxial cable consists of two long concentric
conducting tubes of length l, the inner one of radius a and the
outer one of radius b. Assume that the zˆ direction lies along the
axis of the cable. A current, I, flows down the inner conductor in
the zˆ direction and returns in the outer conductor, where in each
case the current is uniformly spread out over the surface.
(a) Determine the magnetic field B everywhere. [5]
(b) Find the self-inductance per unit length. [5]

In a cathode ray tube, electrons are accelerated from rest by a constant electric force of magnitude 6.40 × 10−17 N during the first 4.40 cm of the tube’s length; then they move at essentially constant velocity another 45.0 cm before hitting the screen.
a.How long does it take them to travel the length of the tube?
b.Find the speed of the electrons when they hit the screen.

A regular icosahedron, as shown in the figure, has an outer
radius (defined as the distance from the centre to a vertex) of
9.51 cm and an inner radius (defined as the distance from the
centre to the centre of a face) of 7.56 cm. It has 20 faces which
are equilateral triangles with side length 10.0 cm, and 12
vertices.
Twelve negative charges of magnitude 20.0 μC are placed at the
vertices and 20 positive charges of magnitude 12.0 μC are placed at
the face centres. A positive charge of Q = +44.25 μC is placed at
the centre of the icosahedron.
What is the force acting on the charge at the centre of the icosahedron? [1]
If one of the negative charges at a vertex is removed, what is the force on the charge at the centre of the icosahedron? [2]
If one of the positive charges at the face is removed, what is the force on the charge at the centre of the icosahedron? [2]
Using your answers to parts ii) and iii) what is the net force on the charge Q at the centre if a complete face (i.e. one positive charge and the three surrounding negative charges), is removed? [5]

Protons having a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV (1 eV = 1.60 x 10-19 J) are moving in the positive x direction and enter a magnetic field B = 0.025 T directed out of the plane of the page and extending from x = 0 to x = 1.00 m as shown in the Figure below. (a) Ignoring relativistic effects, find the angle α between the initial velocity vector of the proton beam and the velocity vector after the beam emerges from the field. (b) Calculate the y component of the protons’ momenta as they leave the magnetic field.

The photogates in the experiment are used to determine the speed of the gliders passing through. The photogates measure the time it takes for the photogate beam to go from being unblocked to blocked to unblocked again. You tell the photogate how long your glider is, and the speed is then calculated.
Given the description of what the photogates do, how will you determine the velocity of the glider?

A 7.50-kg box slides up a 25.0o ramp with an initial speed of 7.50 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp is 0.333. You wish to calculate the distance the box will move up the ramp before coming to a stop using mechanical-energy (NOT force-motion or the work-kinetic energy.)
a. Write the correct equation for solving the problem, and then fully justify its use. (Start by identifying the objects in the system [only the required objects] and then proceeding as in class.)
b. Beginning with the equation in (a), calculate the desired distance.
c. Calculate the change in the thermal energy of the system as the box moves from the bottom of the ramp to where it stops.
