small, center coil. (Note: even though I'm not asking for the direction of the field in your final answer, you'll still have to think about directions to get to that final answer.)
9) When you plug in a device like a computer, often there is a transformer box on the cable to lower the rms voltage to about 12 volts. Explain how such a transformer would work, at the detailed level of charges/currents/fields.(Probably will require \(\sim 3\) sentences.) Give the relevant parameters to make sure it would end up at 12 volts if using an ordinary outlet.
10) You want to power a device that normally uses a 9 Volt battery, but you only have two 1.5 Volt batteries. You hook these batteries together and run them into a 1:3 step-up transformer. Why doesn't this work to power your device? Explain *exactly* where things go wrong for full credit.
Longer Problems
(1) Two long wires carry current into the page (marked by \(\mathrm{X}^{\prime}\mathrm{s}\)) on two corners of a 1 cm by 1 cm square. At another corner (1 cm from each wire), a charged particle with \( Q=1\mathrm{nC}\) is moving into the page at a speed of \(100\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\).
A) Find the magnitude and general direction of the force on the moving charge.
B) Find the magnitude and the force on one wire due to the other wire. (Ignore the moving charge for this part).
C) Discuss how+why the amount of force you got for part A can be so much smaller than the force for part B , even though the average speed of a moving charge in a currentcarrying wire is much smaller than \(100\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\).
(2) A 4-ohm lightbulb is connected to a tiny coil of 2000 loops of wire. Each loop has a 2 mm radius. The coil is positioned 1 cm away from a long straight wire. The long straight wire has 10 ohms of resistance, and is connected to a standard wall outlet (eventually forming a complete circuit).
A) Show exactly how the long straight wire could be positioned next to the tiny coil (1 cm away) such that the bulb will light, even without a direct connection. Explain any directions or
