HW5
- Chapter 24: Exer. 3,13,19,28
(Extra credit) A member of the physics
faculty at the University of Florida, Prof X. recounts the story of how his
physics teacher explained that magnets always had a north and south pole,
and that you could determine where they were on a sample magnet by taking
a standard bar magnet with N and S labelled, and holding the N end up to
both ends of the sample magnet. The N end of the standard bar would
then be attracted to the S end of the sample magnet and repelled from the
N end, thus determining the N and S poles of the sample. The mischievous
young X. used some standard household materials and some standard bar magnets,
then presented his teacher with a sample magnet which,
upon testing, was seen to have two N poles, puzzling the teacher mightily.
What had he done? Was the teacher very bright?
