The figure gives the magnetization curve for a paramagnetic material. The vertical axis scale is set by a=0.15, and the horizontal axis scale is set by b=0.2T K-1. Let μsam  be the measured net magnetic moment of a sample of the material and μmax be the maximum possible net magnetic moment of that sample. According to Curie's law, what would be the ratio μsam/μmax were the sample placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.800 T, at a temperature of 3.80 K?

In Fig., a uniform electric field E collapses. The vertical axis scale is set by Es=6.0×105 N C-1 and the horizontal axis scale is set by ts=24.0 μs. Calculate the magnitude of the displacement current through a 1.6 m2 area perpendicular to the field during each of the time intervals a, b, and c shown on the graph. (Ignore the behavior at the ends of the intervals.)

Two wires, parallel to a z-axis and a distance 4r apart, carry equal currents i in opposite directions, as shown in the figure. A circular cylinder of radius r and length L has its axis on the z-axis, midway between the wires. (a) Use Gauss' law for magnetism to derive an expression for the net outward magnetic flux through the half of the cylindrical surface above the x-axis. (Hint: Find the flux through the portion of the x-z plane that lies within the cylinder). (b) Evaluate the flux for current i=2.40 A and length L=3.40 cm.
