A coil with 200 turns and an area of 0.1 m20.1\, \text{m}^2 is in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T0.5\, \text{T} If the magnetic field is reduced to zero in 0.2 s0.2\, \text{s}, what is the magnitude of the average emf induced in the coil?

What is the direction of the magnetic force on a positive charge moving in a magnetic field?

Which scenario best illustrates Frankfurt’s idea of acting freely despite external constraints?

A 0.4 m long wire carries 2 A of current perpendicular to a 0.2 T magnetic field.What is the magnetic force on the wire?

What does the phrase “the one and the many” refer to in early philosophy?

What is John Locke’s ‘psychological continuity’ criterion for personal identity?

11) Now that you have described the stages of vitellogenesis, with respect to the system described in question #10 provide me with two hypothetical mechanisms, a physiological or molecular processes, that may be impeding the uptake of vitellogenin into the oocytes in these mutant beetles. (8 pts)

1) In the context of the cuticle, what is a radicalized quinone and what does it do (e.g., N-acetyldopamine gets converted into one)? (6 pts)

5) Name the primary endocrine signal that initiates vitellogenesis in most insects, then describe another group that does not use this same primary signal and tell what signal they do use to initiate vitellogenesis – make sure to give appropriate developmental/life stage context. (6 pts)

12) Design a series of experiments to test one of these hypotheses you lay out in question #11 and include all the appropriate steps for experimental work. Note that now you know about RNAi, I expect you to use RNAi for at least one of your experimental steps. (12 pts)
