37. A loose spiral spring carrying no current is hung from a ceiling. When a switch is thrown so that a current exists in the spring, do the coils a. move closer together, b. move farther apart, or c. not move at all? d. Impossible to determine. 38. A long coaxial cable (cross section shown below) carries a current of 5.2A flowing out of the page in the center conductor and an equal current flowing in the opposite direction in the shield. What is the magnetic field at point P,15mm from the center of the wire? Assume the center conductor is insulated from the shield by air. (a) 10.4T, (b) 2.08×10?4T, (c) 0 , (d) it cannot be determined from the given information 39.

37. When a current is passed through a loose spiral spring, the coils move closer together. This is because the current in the spring generates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field of neighbouring coils, causing a force that pulls the coils closer together.
