How are the Tully-Fisher calculations for the distance to a galaxy different from those used for spectroscopic parallax?

Question 2

Rank the magnitudes of the following magnetic fields from largest to smallest, noting any cases of equality.
(a) the field 2 cm away from a long, straight wire carrying a current of 3 A
(b) the field at the center of a flat, compact, circular coil, 2 cm in radius, with 10 turns, carrying a current of 0.3 A
(c) the field at the center of a solenoid 2 cm in radius and 200 cm long, with 1 000 turns, carrying a current of 0.3 A
(d) the field at the center of a long, straight, metal bar, 2 cm in radius, carrying a current of 300 A
(e) a field of 1 mT

1.a > e > b > d > c
2.e > d > b > c > a
3.e > c > b > a > d
4.e > c > b > a > d
5.b > c > d > a > e

Answer to Question 1

Since we are still using the apparent and absolute brightness measurements the
calculations are the same but here we are using another independent variable to
determine the absolute brightness.
