A flat coil with a cross-sectional area S and with N turns is placed in a magnetic field. The leads of the coil are connected to an oscillograph. When the coil is moved out of the field, an induction emf is generated in it, and the oscillograph of this emf is shown in the figure. How do the maximal value of the emf, E1m, and the area under the curve depending on the rate with which the coil is moved out of the field?

Suppose that we have two solenoids of the same length. Their diameters differ only to the extent to which one can be fitted onto the other. The inductances of the two solenoids can be considered the same and equal to L. Here are the ways in which the solenoids can be connected:

(1) the solenoids are connected in series and are separated by a large distance;

(2) the solenoids are connected in parallel and are separated by a large distance;

(3) the solenoids are connected in series, one is fitted onto the other, and the senses of the turns coincide;

(4) the solenoids are connected in parallel, one is fitted onto the other, and the senses of the turns coincide;

(5) the solenoids are connected in series, one is fitted onto the other, and the senses of the turns are opposite;

(6) the solenoids are connected in parallel, one is fitted onto the other, and the senses of the turns are opposite.

Determine the total inductance for each of the above cases.

Two similar parallel electron beams point in the same direction. The linear dimensions of the cross section of each beam are small compared to the distance between the beams. Suppose that v is the electron velocity and n is the electron concentration in either beam. In a coordinate system with respect to which the electrons are in motion there are two types of interactions, the electrostatic and the magnetic. Which of the two is greater in magnitude?

Electric charges do not generate a magnetic field in a system of coordinates (better to say, frame of reference) where they are at rest. The magnetic field that surrounds a conductor carrying a current is generated by the charges that are moving in the conductor. Since the electron concentration in a conductor is of the order of 1022 cm-3, the directional velocity of the electrons in the conductor is of the order of one millimeter per second (if the current density is estimated at 100 A cm-2). We position the conductor carrying the current in such a manner that it follows the magnetic meridian at the point where the conductor is present. Just as in Oersted's experiment, a magnetic compass needle placed under the conductor will be deflected. If the needle is moved along the conductor with a speed equal to the directional velocity of the electrons in the conductor (i.e. of the order of several millimeters per second), the electron will be at rest in relation to the needle and, since the magnetic field in the system connected with the needle must be nil, the needle will not be deflected. More than that, if the needle is moved along the conductor with a speed greater than that of the electrons, the needle will be deflected in the opposite direction. Are these assertions correct?
