Motional emf: A conducting bar slides without friction on two parallel horizontal rails that are 50 cm apart and connected by a wire at one end. The resistance of the bar and the rails is constant and equal to 0.10 Ω. A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the rails. A 0.080-N force parallel to the rails is required to keep the bar moving at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

In proton-beam therapy, a high-energy beam of protons is fired at a tumor.  As  the protons stop in the tumor, their kinetic energy breaks apart the tumor’s DNA, thus killing the tumor cells. For one patient, it is desired to deposit 0.09 J of proton energy in the tumor. To create the proton beam, protons are accelerated from rest through a 9.0×103 kV potential difference. What is the total charge of the protons that must be fired at the tumor?

Radiation pressure: A radiometer has two square vanes (1.0 cm by 1.0 cm), attached to a light horizontal cross arm, and pivoted about a vertical axis through the center, as shown in the figure. The center of each vane is 6.0 cm from the axis. One vane is silvered and it reflects all radiant energy incident upon it. The other vane is blackened and it absorbs all incident radiant energy. An electromagnetic wave with an intensity of 0.30 kW/m2 is incident normally upon the vanes. What is the radiation pressure on the blackened vane? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, μ0 = 4π × 10-7 T ∙ m/A, ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2)

The electric field strength is 5.00×104  N/C inside a parallel-plate capacitor with a 1.60 mm  spacing. A proton is released from rest at the positive plate. What is the proton’s speed when it reaches the negative plate? (mass of proton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg, charge of an proton = 1.60 x 10-19 C)
