6-Torque on a coil. A circular loop of wire has a diameter of
20.0 cm and contains 10 loops. The current
in each loop is 3.00 A, and the coil is placed in a 2.00-T external
magnetic field. Determine the maximum
and minimum
torque exerted on the coil by the field.

Your employer asks you to build a 23-cm-long solenoid with an interior field of 6.0 mT . The specifications call for a single layer of wire, wound with the coils as close together as possible. You have two spools of wire available. Wire with a #18 gauge has a diameter of 1.02 mm and has a maximum current rating of 6 A. Wire with a #26 gauge is 0.41 mm in diameter and can carry up to 1 A.
A) Which wire should you use?
B) What current will you need?

In the figure (Figure 1) a conducting rod of length L = 37.0 cm moves in a magnetic field B⃗ of magnitude 0.500 T directed into the plane of the figure. The rod moves with speed v = 6.00 m/s in the direction shown.
Part A
What is the potential difference between the ends of the rod?
Part C
When the charges in the rod are in equilibrium, what is the magnitude of the electric field within the rod?
Part F
What is the potential difference across the rod if it moves parallel to ab?
Part G
What is the potential difference across the rod if it moves directly out of the page?

A 1210 kg car is driving on 60 km/h on an inclined plane. The car is located on the top of the plane. The plane is 655 m long and the angle is 4.50 degrees.
a) What will the speed of the car be if there is no friction ?
b) Now the car is on 85 km/h at the bottom of the inclined plane. How much friction force works on the car its way down ?
c) If the same friction force works on the car as when it drow up
the plane, what does the mechanical power need to be so the car can
drive on 85 km/h ?
d) Lets assume thet the same friction force works on the car that drives in a normal driving. How much gas will the car spend on a hundred ef the heat of reaction of the gas is 38 MJ/liters and the efficiency is 21 %

You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed υ0. The acceleration due to gravity is g. Take the origin at the launch point. (a) How long after you launch the potato has it moved as far horizontally from the launch point as it has moved vertically? What are the coordinates of the potato at this time? (b) How long after you launch the potato is it moving in a direction exactly 45° below the horizontal? What are the coordinates of the potato at this time?

- In a cylindrical container with a base area A, there are N
monatomic gas particles at temperature T which are ideal. The upper
part of the container is closed with a lid which has a weight M and
can moves upward and downward without friction . There is vacuum on
the lid and the whole system is under gravity.
a) Calculate the balance position of the lid. When performing this
calculation, you can assume that the cover is quite narrow in the
vertical.
- Suppose the system is completely isolated from the outside,
doubling the weight of the lid (2M).
b) Determine the new temperature T* of the gas and the new
equilibrium position of the lid.
c) Calculate the change in the entropy of the gas.
