 The current-carrying wire loop in figure (a) lies all in one plane and consists of a semicircle of radius 25.0 cm,a smaller semicircle with the same center, and two radial lengths. The smaller semicircle is rotated out of that plane by angle θ, until it is perpendicular to the plane (figure b). Figure (c) gives the magnitude B of the net magnetic field at the center of curvature versus angle θ. The vertical scale is set by Ba=10.0 μT and Bb=12.0 μT.What is the radius of the smaller semicircle?

In figure (a), two circular loops, with different currents but the same radius of 2.0 cm, are centered on a y axis. They are initially separated by distance L=6.0 cm, with loop 2 positioned at the origin of the axis. The currents in the two loops produce a net magnetic field at the origin, with y component By. That component is to be measured as loop 2 is gradually moved in the positive direction of the y axis. Figure (b) gives By as a function of the position y of loop 2 .The curve approaches an asymptote of By=7.20 μT as y. The horizontal scale is set by ys=10.0 cm What are (a) current i1 in loop 1 and (b) current i2 in loop 2?

The figure shows, in cross-section, two long straight wires held against a plastic cylinder of radius15.0 cm. Wire 1 carries current i1=60.0 mA out of the page and is fixed in place at the left side of the cylinder. Wire 2 carries current i2=40.0 mA out of the page and can be moved around the cylinder. At what (positive) angle θ2 should wire 2 be positioned such that, at the origin, the net magnetic field due to the two currents has magnitude 80.0 nT?
