Chapter 29, Problem 15P
You are part of a team working in a machine parts mechanic’s shop. An important customer has asked your company to provide springs with a very precise force constant k. To measure the spring constant, you fasten two of the springs between the ends of two very long wires of length L, separated by the unstretched length ℓ of the springs as shown in Figure P29.15. The specific attachment method that you use insulates the springs from the wires so that no current passes through the springs. You lay the apparatus flat on a table and then pass a current of magnitude I through the wires, in opposite directions. As a result the springs stretch by a distance d and come to equilibrium. You determine an expression for the spring constant in terms of L, I, ℓ, and d.

Mr X and Mr Y are two friends. One day they were walking on the street and saw that a man in a strange dress had shown many magical activities. He introduced a crystal that turned on the LED light by giving pressure on it. Everyone was surprised by that activities. But Mr Y said that this crystal is a piezoelectric transducer and is also known as a self-transducer. However, it can't generate high voltage. Could you explain what the main reasons for generating the low output voltage are?
6.11 The loop shown in P6.11 moves away from a wire
carrying a current I1 = 10 A at a constant velocity u = §7.5
(m/s). If R = 10 N and the direction of I2 is as defined in the
figure, find I2 as a function of yo, the distance between the wire
and the loop. Ignore the internal resistance of the loop.

Two very long, parallel wires are separated by d = 0.065 m. The first wire carries a current of I1 = 0.75 A. The second wire carries a current of I2 = 0.65 A.
Express the minimal work per unit length needed to separate the two wires from d to 2d.

The basic mechanism of acceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass 40.0 g and electrical resistance 0.300 Ω rests on parallel horizontal rails that have negligible electric resistance. The rails are a distance L = 9.00 cm apart.
