a) The second of Maxwell's equations states that the divergence of the magnetic
flux density is always zero, i.e. V B 0. What does this tell you generally
about the distribution of magnetic flux? Describe the impact of a non-zero
value on the right-hand-side of Maxwell's second equation.
b) With reference to Figure 2, the Biot-Savart law can be used to show that the
magnetic flux density due to a straight current-carrying wire of finite length is
given by

Write down the Maxwell-Ampere law in integral or differential form (your choice). Write
down the meaning of every letter and symbol and explain in detail what the equation is
trying to tell you.
A dark red clay brick in space is continuously exposed to sunlight such that it absorbs 10 Watts of electromagnetic power.
But under these conditions the brick's temperature is observed to be constant.
a) Describe the energy flows into and out of the brick - what mechanisms are involved, and what are the relative sizes of
those energy flows?
b) The brick is instantly, painted black. (Don't worry about how.) Do the energy flows and temperature change? Explain.
