Homework: Topic7: Magnetic Forces & Magnetic Fields [Chap.

19] Explanation: Problems are divided into two groups. Numbers in parentheses, e.g. (10) are Exercises. Relatively simple applications of basic definitions and basic laws. These are for student practice. Numbers in brackets, e.g. [10], are assigned problems. These are problems similar in level of difficulty to test problems. Numbers in curly brackets, e.g. {10} are challenging problems. Exercises:
