The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory once held the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. For brief periods of time, their largest multi-shot pulsed magnet can produce magnetic fields in excess of 85 T. To see if such a strong magnetic field could pose health risks for nearby workers, calculate the maximum acceleration amax the field could produce for Na* ions (of mass 3.8 × 10-26 kg) in blood traveling through the aorta. The speed of blood is highly variable, but 45 cm/s is reasonable in the aorta. Amax = m/s²

An iron (density ρ) rod with length L, cross sectional area A, spans across two parallel, metal train tracks. The tracks are connected to a power supply and have a potential ∆V across them. Between the tracks are placed magnets such that the B-field points directly upwards with strength B. What is the acceleration of the iron rod be the moment it starts from rest? What will acceleration be as a function of speed as it continues? Assume the contact is frictionless between the tracks and the rod so that no force of friction needs to be overcome. What will the top speed of the rod be under these conditions?

Consider a long, horizontal Large Wire with current of 10 A running through it. We want to levitate a horizontal, thin, 0.50 m length of wire above it. If the thin wire has a mass of 10 grams, and a current of 300 mA, how far above the Large Wire will it hover (net force of zero) due to magnetic and gravitational forces? A. If the thin wire hovers above the Large Wire due to their magnetic fields, are their currents going the same direction, or opposite directions. Explain. B. Draw a diagram and label the directions of currents, and all other relevant quantities and vectors. C. Find the distance above the Large Wire the small thin wire will hover (net force of zero). D. Would your answers to parts A and C change if we wanted to find a distance below (rather than above) the Large Wire that the smaller thin wire could hover, due to their magnetic fields. Explain. Don't calculate any values but draw a new diagram and explain how this situation compares to the problem above.
