A 2.0-cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20-A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0 m on the x-axis.
 a. 1.6 nT in the negative z direction
  b. 1.6 nT in the positive z direction
  c. 2.4 nT in the negative z direction
  d. 2.4 nT in the negative z direction
  e. None of the above

Question 2

An unusual lightning strike has a vertical portion with a current of -400 A downwards. The Earth's magnetic field at that location is parallel to the ground and has a magnitude of 30 mT. In N, the force exerted by the Earth's magnetic field on the 25 m-long current is
 a. 0.
  b. 0.012 N, East.
  c. 0.012 N, West.
  d. 0.30 N, West.
  e. 300 N, East.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
