Magnetism Wire Loop: Solve Problem in 1.5 Hours

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving two problems related to magnetism and induced currents. The first problem can be approached using the formula B = mew x current/(2 x pi x r), along with the right-hand rule for direction. The second problem involves applying Lenz's law, which states that an induced current will oppose changes in magnetic flux. Clarification is provided regarding the placement of point P in problem 5. The urgency of the exam adds pressure to find solutions quickly.

Okay guys I have an hour and thirty minutes before my exam; I know how to do the top problem; just use the formula B = mew x current/(2 x pi x r) then add the magnetic fields and use the right-hand rule to get direction, but I'm stuck on the bottom one.

Lenz's law states, that an induced current in the inner loop will try to prevent a change of flux through the inner loop, induced by the out loop.

In prob. 5 P is shown at (0.1,0) not at (0,0.1).
In prob. 6, remember Lenz's law?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
