For a science project, you would like to horizontally suspend an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet of black paper in a vertical beam of light whose dimensions exactly match the paper. If the mass of the sheet is 1.2 g, what light intensity will you need? (1 in = 2.54 cm)

a) What current is needed to generate the magnetic field strength of 10 T at a point 1.4 cm from a long, straight wire? (

LC circuits: A charged capacitor is connected to an ideal inductor. At time t = 0, the charge on the capacitor is equal to 6.00 μC. At time t = 2.00 ms the charge on the capacitor is zero for the first time. What is the amplitude of the current at that same instant?
