1. Very long Wire 1 carries current I in the +x-direction along the line y = 0. Very long Wire 2 carries current I in the +x-direction along the line y = + d. Point P is located along Wire 1 at the origin, as shown in Figure 1. The diameters of the wires are small compared to the distance between the wires. Both wires are in the xy-plane. ..

2. A sample of a monatomic ideal gas is sealed in a thermally conducting container by a movable piston of mass M and area A. The container is in a large water bath that is held at a constant temperature T₀. The piston is free to move with negligible friction. At the instant shown, the gas is in thermal equilibrium with the water bath, the piston is at rest, and the gas occupies volume V₀. The pressure of the air above the piston is P_atm.. ..

3. In Experiment 1, a student is given a resistor of unknown resistance and an air-filled parallelplate capacitor of unknown capacitance. The student is asked to predict the expected time constant x of a circuit if these two circuit elements were connected in series with a battery. The student has access to a battery of known emf, a switch, an ammeter, a ruler, and wires, as shown in Figure 1. The plates of the capacitor are square, and the separation between the plates is small compared to the dimensions of the plates. The capacitor is initially uncharged. Assume that the dielectric constant of air is 1. ..

4. Two narrow slits are a distance d apart. A screen is a distance L from the midpoint of the slits, where L &2299; d. When a laser emits monochromatic light toward the slits, a pattern of narrow bright and dark bands is observed on the screen. The centers of bright bands A and B are indicated. Three additional bright bands, including the central bright band, are observed on the screen between bands A and B, as shown. ..
