A changing current in one loop of wire can induce a current in another loop of wire even though the wires do not touch. The induced current appears almost instantaneously for loops close together. How can this energy exchange happen?
a. This is one of those things for which science has no adequate explanation yet.
b. The second loop is affected by the thermal exchange from the heating of the first loop.
c. It is a gravitational effect on the electrons.
d. It is done via an electromagnetic wave.

Rotational Dynamics: The drum shown in the figure has a radius of 0.40 m and a moment of inertia of 2.3 kg ? m2 about an axis perpendicular to it through its center. The frictional torque at the drum axle is 3.0 N ? m. A 14-m length of rope is wound around the rim. The drum is initially at rest. A constant force is applied to the free end of the rope until the rope is completely unwound and slips off. At that instant, the angular speed of the drum is 23 rad/s. The drum then slows down at a constant rate and comes to a halt. In this situation, what was the magnitude of the constant force applied to the rope?
A. 51 N B. 40 N C. 29 N D. 18 N E. 7.5 N
An astronaut has landed on an asteroid and conducts an experiment to determine the acceleration of gravity on that asteroid
