Which of the following best describes why a white dwarf cannot have a mass greater than the 1.4-solar-mass limit?

A) The upper limit to a white dwarf's mass is something we have learned from observations, but no one knows why this limit exists. B) Electron degeneracy pressure depends on the speeds of electrons, which approach the speed of light as a white dwarf's mass approaches the 1.4-solar-mass limit. C) White dwarfs get hotter with increasing mass, and above the 1.4-solar-mass limit they would be so hot that even their electrons would melt. D) White dwarfs are made only from stars that have masses less than the 1.4-solar-mass limit.

A long wire along the x axis is carrying a current increasing at a constant rate in the +x direction. A rectangular coil lies in the x-y plane in the 4th quadrant. In which direction is the induced magnetic field at the center of the rectangular coil?

a. in the –z direction b. There is no direction; the induced current in the coil is zero since the x axis and the coil are in the same plane. c. in the +z direction d. No direction can be found since the orientation of the rectangular coil is not given.
