Question:

A Slinky is a child's toy that is a long coil spring. Suppose you take a Slinky and let it hang down and stretch out so that the coils do not touch each other, as in Figure Q24.28. Now you connect the Slinky to a power supply and pass a large DC cur- rent through it. Think about the current in the coils. Will the Slinky expand or contract?
