A rigid rectangular loop, which measures 0.30 m by 0.40 m, carries a current of 5.5 A, as shown in the figure. A uniform external magnetic field of magnitude 2.9 T in the negative x direction is present. Segment CD is in the xz-plane and forms a 35° angle with the z-axis, as shown. Find the magnitude of the external torque needed to keep the loop in static equilibrium.

When a neutron (n) collides with a uranium-235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. One such reaction is U + n → Xe + Sr + 2n. How much energy is released in this reaction, given the following mass values: Xe: 139.921620 u Sr : 93.915367 u U: 235.043924 u n: 1.008665 u (1 u = 931.494 MeV/c2)

A closed, circular loop has a counter-clockwise current flowing through it as viewed by a person on the right, as shown in the figure. If a second closed circular loop with the same radius approaches this loop with constant velocity along a common axis as shown, in what direction will a current flow in the approaching loop as viewed by the person on the right?

A Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in a toaster. From the moment the toaster is first turned on to the moment the wire reaches it maximum temperature, the current in the wire drops by 20.0% from its initial value. What is the temperature change in the wire? The temperature coefficient of resistivity for Nichrome is 0.000400 (°C)-1.
