Law and Legislation. CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS. California led the nation in 1991 by enacting criminal sanctions for the violation of civil rights laws. The laws provide enhanced sentences for those convicted of violent or threatening behavior based on race, gender, religion, age, disabilities or sexual preference.
The fact that current carrying loops experience a net torque in a magnetic field is the principle behind the electric motor, where the electrical energy involved in establishing a current is converted into the mechanical energy of rotating a shaft.
Find the direction and magnitude of the net magnetic field (a) at a point midway between the wires, (b) at point P 1 (10.0 cm to the right of the wire on the right), and (c) at point P 2 (20.0 cm to the left of the wire on the left). Solution: Assume that the wire on the right is wire 1 and that on the left is wire 2.
