[link] shows a long straight wire just touching a loop carrying a current $I_1$ . Both lie in the same plane. (a) What direction must the current $I_2$ in the straight wire have to create a field at the center of the loop in the direction opposite to that created by the loop? (b) What is the ratio of $I_1/I_2$ that gives zero field strength at the center of the loop? (c) What is the direction of the field directly above the loop under this circumstance?

(a) A pendulum is set up so that its bob (a thin copper disk) swings between the poles of a permanent magnet as shown in [link] . What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the bob at the lowest point in its path, if it has a positive $0\text{.}\text{250 μC}$ charge and is released from a height of 30.0 cm above its lowest point?
