Predict/Explain Proton 1 moves with a speed v from the east coast to the west coast in the continental United States; proton 2 moves with the same speed from the southern United States toward Canada. (a) Is the magnitude of the magnetic force experienced by proton 2 greater than, less than, or equal to the force experienced by proton 1? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. The protons experience the same force because the magnetic eld is the same and their speeds are the same. II. Proton 1 experiences the greater force because it moves at right angles to the magnetic eld. III. Proton 2 experiences the greater force because it moves in the same direction as the magnetic eld.

Question
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation A recently developed method to study brain function is to produce a rapidly changing magnetic eld within the brain. When this technique, known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is applied to the prefrontal cortex, for example, it can reduce a persons ability to conjugate verbs, though other thought processes are unaffected. The rapidly varying magnetic eld is produced with a circular coil of 21 turns and a radius of 6.0 cm placed directly on the head. The current in this loop increases at the rate of (by discharging a capacitor). (a)At what rate does the magnetic eld at the center of the coil increase? (b) Suppose a second coil with half the area of the rst coil is used instead. Would your answer to part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same? By what factor?
