In New England, the horizontal component of the earths magnetic fi eld has a magnitude of 1.6 3 1025 T. An electron is shot vertically straight up from the ground with a speed of 2.1 3 106 m/s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration caused by the magnetic force? Ignore the gravitational force acting on the electron

Question
Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic fi eld as in Figure 21.19. Coil 1 has a radius of 5.0 cm and rotates in a 0.18-T fi eld. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.42-T fi eld. Each coil experiences the same maximum torque. What is the radius (in cm) of coil 2?
Solution
The first step in solving 21 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic fi eld as in Figure 21.19. Coil 1 has a radius of 5.0 cm and rotates in a 0.18-T fi eld. Coil 2 rotates in a 0.42-T fi eld. Each coil experiences the same maximum torque. What is the radius (in cm) of coil 2?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Forces and Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
