In the figure, a rectangular loop carrying current lies in the plane of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.050 T. The loop consists of a single turn of flexible conducting wire that is wrapped around a flexible mount such that the dimensions of the rectangle can be changed. (The total length of the wire is not changed.) As edge length x is varied from approximately zero to its maximum value of approximately 4.0 cm the magnitude τ of the torque on the loop changes. The maximum value of τ is 4.80×10-8N m. What is the current in the loop?

At time t1, an electron is sent along the positive direction of an x axis, through both an electric field E and a magnetic field B, with E directed parallel to the y axis. The figure gives the y component Fnet,y of the net force on the electron due to the two fields, as a function of the electron's speed v at time t1. The scale of the velocity axis is set by vs=200.0 m s-1. The x and z components of the net force are zero at t1. Assuming Bx=0, find (a) the magnitude E and (b) B in unit-vector notation.
