Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or MEG, is used to study electrical activity in the brain using this concept This technique is capable of detecting magnetic fields as weak as 1.0 1015 T. Model the neuron as a long wire carrying a current and find the current it must carry to produce a field of this magnitude at a distance of 4.0 cm from the neuron.
A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen16 from the much rarer oxygen18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.)

What is the separation between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?

The picture tube in an old black-and-white television uses magnetic deflection coils rather than electric deflection plates. Suppose an electron beam is accelerated through a 50.0-kV potential difference and then through a region of uniform magnetic field 1.00 cm wide. The screen is located 10.0 cm from the center of the coils and is 50.0 cm wide. When the field is turned off, the electron beam hits the center of the screen. Ignoring relativistic corrections, what field magnitude is necessary to deflect the beam to the side of the screen?

A proton and a helium nucleus (consisting of two protons and two neutrons) pass through a velocity selector and into a mass spectrometer. The radius of the protons circular path is rp.

(You may assume the mass of a proton is roughly equal to the mass of a neutron, and the helium nucleus has the same speed as the proton.)
