1. What is the difference between the magnetic flux and magnetic field?
2. Discuss the similarities between the energy stored in the electric field of a charged
capacitor and the energy stored in the magnetic field of a current-carrying coil.
3. A piece of aluminum is dropped vertically downward between the poles of an electro-
magnet. Does the magnetic field affect the velocity of the aluminum? Explain your
answer.
4. We have discussed that a static magnetic field cannot change the energy of a charged
particle (it cant do any work). Is the same true of a changing magnetic field? Explain.
5. Describe two practical devices that rely on Faradays law to work.
6. If you wind a solenoid around an iron core (the iron is there to beef up the magnetic
field), place a metal ring on top, and plug it in, the ring will jump several feet in the
air. Why?
7. What is meant by the curl of a vector. Explain why, if the curl of a vector is zero,
then that vector can be written as the gradient of a scalar.
8. Explain why the divergence of the curl of a vector is always zero.
9. What is ~J? Note: Your answer is only true for a time-independent charge density,
, and not true in general. We will come to the correct answer later.
