A coil of wire is connected to a very sensitive ammeter that can deflect the needle both ways, indicating the direction of the current. A north pole of a magnet is moved towards the coil before coming to rest inside it. The needle of the ammeter initially deflects to the right. What happens next? A. The needle of the ammeter remains deflected to the right B. The needle of the ammeter deflects to the left C. The needle of the ammeter returns to zero

(a) A 200Turn circular loop of radius 50.0 cm is vertical, with its axis on an east-west line. A current of 100 A circulates clockwise in the loop when viewed from the east. The Earth’s field here is due norm, parallel to me ground, with a strength of 3.00105T. What are 1he direction and magnitude of the torque on the loop? (b) Does this device have any practical applications as a motor?
A particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.
