A proton PP travels with a speed of 11 m/s toward the top of the page through a uniform magnetic field of 2.0 T directed into the page as shown in the figure below.
1)What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton? (Express your answer using two significant figures.)
4. In Lecture 17 we saw that the net force on a current loop in a uniform magnetic field is zero. But
what if B is not uniform? The diagram below shows a square loop of wire that lies in the xy-plane
(Note: the +z-direction points out of the page). The loop has corners at (0,0), (0, L), (L, 0), and
(L, L) and carries a current I in the clockwise direction. The loop is immersed in a magnetic field
B = (Boz/L)j + (Boy/L), where Bo is a positive constant.
(0, L)

What is the net magnetic force on the loop? (Hint: You will need to use the integral F = f 1 dl x B
to find the force on each of the sides of the loop.)
Question 2. A light disc made of aluminium (a nonmagnetic material) is kept horizontally and is free to rotate about its axis as shown in the figure.
