Figure (a) shows that in cross-section, two wires that are straight, parallel, and very long. The ratio i1/i2 of the current carried by wire 1 to that carried by wire 2 is 0.25. Wire 1 is fixed in place. Wire 2 can be moved along the positive side of the x-axis so, as to change the magnetic energy density uB set up by the two currents at the origin. Figure (b) gives undefined as a function of the position x of wire 2. The curve has an asymptote of uβ=1.96 nJ m-3 as x and the horizontal axis scale is set by xs=30.0 cm. What is the value of (a) i1 and (b) i2?

A small circular loop of area 2.00 cm2 is placed in the plane and concentric with a large circular loop of radius 1.00 m. The current in the large loop is changed at a constant rate from 50.0 A to -50.0 A (a change in direction) in a time of 1.00 s, starting at t=0. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field B at the centre of the small loop due to the current in the large loop at (a) t=0, (b) t=0.500 s and (c) t=1.00 s? (d) From t=0 to  t=1.00 s is B reversed? Because the inner loop is small, assume B is uniform over its area. (e) What emf is induced in the small loop at t=0.500 s?
