Graduate Motion of Ring After Current Reduction in Hoop, Line and Stinker
The figure shows an insulating ring and an infinite straight wire resting on the surface of an infinite plane. The wire is fixed in position, but the ring slides without friction on the surface of the plane. The ring is uniformly charged, with net positive charge Q. Initially, the wire carries a...- cpcolts

Graduate Physics Puzzle: Magnetic Field Generated by Approximation of a Flower
Here's an attachment. A poor artist might approximate a flower as a series of straight lines and arcs such as that shown below. We could caracterize the flower by specifying the inner and outer radii, and the inner and outer angles (shown). If a current I flows around along the lines and...- cpcolts
