← A coil of 100 turns, each of area 0.01 m², has a total resistance of 2 Ω, and its ends are joined to make a closed circuit. A uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T passes through the coil, perpendicular to its plane. The field is switched off and falls to zero. The total charge that flows round the coil, in millicoulombs, is ____.
A small drop of liquid, held together by surface tension, can wobble about its round shape. Suppose the frequency f of this wobble depends only on the surface tension σ of the liquid, its density ρ and the radius r of the drop, so that f = k σᵃρᵇ rᶜ with k a dimensionless number. Dimensional analysis gives →
