Refraction at a curved surface: A goldfish bowl is spherical, 8.0 cm in radius. A goldfish is swimming 3.0 cm from the wall of the bowl. Where does the fish appear to be to an observer outside? The index of refraction of water is 1.33. Neglect the effect of the glass wall of the bowl.

Solenoids: Consider a solenoid of length L, N windings, and radius b (L is much longer than b). A current I is flowing through the wire. If the length of the solenoid became twice as long (2L), and all other quantities remained the same, the magnetic field inside the solenoid would

Force on parallel wires: The figure shows three long, parallel, current-carrying wires. The current directions are indicated for currents I1 and I3. The arrow labeled F represents the net magnetic force acting on current I3. The three currents have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the current I2?
