Imagine that you have placed a compass due east of of a wire where current equals 2A (the wire is vertical and current travels from bottom to top).

1. If you turn the current on, how would the compass respond? (Does it change cardinal direction?)

2. How does the magnitude and direction of the total magnetic field change?

PLEASE EXPLAIN!

Two wires of infinite length are placed at a distance D = 10cm on opposite sides of a point O, both wires carry the same current of 1.0 A, in which direction must this current flow in order for the magnetic field strength at O to be non-zero.

Consider a general point on the line joining the 2 wires and a distance d away from the mid point O.

By summing the magnetic field due to currents of magnitude i flowing in both wires in the sense you found in (a), show that, on the line joining the two wires, the magnetic field strength is given by (see attachment for expression)

An electron is traveling at 5.0 x 106 m s-1 directly into the page at the point P shown in figure 1. P is 4.0 cm from O. Again D = 10 cm and the currents i in both wires have magnitudes of 1.0 A and are flowing in the directions given and found in question (a). find the magnitude and direction of the force that the electron experiences.

Imagine you have two wire loops lying next to each other on a table. The first one is connected to an AC power supply (like a wall outlet), producing a time-varying current through the wire, which in turn produces a time-varying magnetic field. The second wire loop reacts to this time varying magnetic field according to Faraday's law. Describe the current produced in the second loop.
