In radio transmission a radio wave serves as a carrier wave, and the sound signal is superimposed on the carrier wave. In amplitude modulation (AM) radio, the amplitude of the carrier wave varies according to the sound wave. The U.S. Navy sometimes uses flashing lights to send Morse code between neighboring ships, a process that has similarities to radio broadcasting. (a) Is this process AM or FM? (b) What is the carrier frequency? (c) What is the signal frequency? (d) What is the broadcasting antenna? (e) What is the receiving antenna?

A magneto is used to cause the spark in a spark plug in many lawn mowers today. A magneto consists of a permanent magnet mounted on a flywheel so that it spins past a fixed coil. Explain how this arrangement generates a large enough potential difference to cause the spark.
As the magnet moves at a high speed past the fixed coil , the magnetic flux through the coil changes rapidly, increasing as the magnet approaches the coil and decreasing as the magnet moves away. This rapid change in the flux gives large emf, large enough to cause a spark across the gap in the spark plug.

Two charged particles are projected in the same direction into the magnetic field perpendicular to their velocities. if the two particles are deflected in opposite directions, what can you say about them?
If they are projected in the same direction into the same magnetic field, the charges are of opposite sign. The direction of the force depends on the sign of the charge, so you can ensure that both charges are of opposite sign.

Why is the sum of maximum voltages across each of the elements in a series RLC circuit usually greater than the maximum applied voltage? Doesn't this violate Kirchhoff's loop rule?
The voltages are not added in a scalar form, but in a vector form, as shown in the phasor diagrams throughout the chapter. Kirchhoff's loop rule is true at any instant, but the voltages across different circuit elements are not simultaneously at their maximum values. Do not forget that an inductor can induce an emf in itself and that the voltage across it is 90° ahead of the current in the circuit in phase.

The curent loop will rotate when placed in an external magnetic field for some arbitrary orientation of the field relative to the loop . As the current in the loop is increased the torque on it will increase.

What is the advantage of transmitting power at high voltages?
It is far more economical to transmit power at a high voltage than at a low voltage because I^2R the loss on the transmission line is significantly lower at high voltage. Transmitting power at high voltage permits the use of step-down transformers to make "low" voltages and high currents available to the end user. The advantage of transmitting power at high voltage is that it reduces power loss due to resistance in conductor. Power is dissipated as heat. Power loss is directly proportional to I2 as P=I2R. As voltage increases, current is decreased which reduces power loss. Due to less I2R loss, efficiency of transformer increases.
A hanging slinky toy is attached to a powerful battery and switch. When the switch is closed that the toy now carries current, does the slinky compress or expand?

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnetic falls toward the ring, does it move as a freely falling object? Explain.
No, when the bar magnet falls toward the loop, the changing magnetic field through the loop induces a current in the loop. That creates magnetic field. Since the current is being creating in the loop., the magnetic field will be different causing the object to fall slower.

How can motions of a charged particle be used to distinguish between a magnetic field and an electric field in a certain region? Give a specific example to justify.
The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is always perpendicular to the particle's direction of motion. There is no magnetic force on the charge when it moves parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. For an electric field, the force is never 0 and is always parallel. Therefore, by projecting the charged particle in different directions, it is possible to determine the nature of the field.
