(d) What is the magnitude of the net force on the loop?

In figure (a), two concentric coils, lying in the same plane, carry currents in opposite directions. The current in the larger coil is fixed. Current in coil can be varied. Figure (b) gives the net magnetic moment of the two-coil system as a function of . The vertical axis scale is set by, and the horizontal axis scale is set by, . If the current in coil is then reversed, what is the magnitude of the net magnetic moment of the two-coil system when

A mass spectrometer (fig.) is used to separate uranium ions of mass and charge from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius . After traveling through and passing through a slit of width and height they are collected in a cup. (a) What is the magnitude of the (perpendicular) magnetic field in the separator? If the machine is used to separate out of material per hour, calculate (b) the current of the desired ions in the machine and (c) the thermal energy produced in the cup in .
