The device used for producing electric current is called _________.
It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loud speaker magnet. A small flat search coil of area 2 cm2 with 25 closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the field region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick 90° turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction. The total charge flown in the coil (measured by a ballistic galvanometer connected to coil) is 7.5 mC. The combined resistance of the coil and the galvanometer is 0.50 Ω. Estimate the field strength of magnet.

A sheet is placed on horizontal surface in front of a strong magnetic pole. A force is needed to:
- hold the sheet there if it is magnetic.
- hold the sheet there if it is non-magnetic.
- move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if it is conducting.
- move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if it is both, non-conducting and nonpolar.
