Encircle the letter of the correct answer. Solve each problem clearly and completely for full credit.
1. Puwersa ng Masa. Which of the following situations will produce a magnetic force directed out of
the plane of the page?
A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. II and III
E. I, II and III

2. Bee. Each wire is immersed in a uniform magnetic field B directed into the plane of this page.
Arrange the three according to the magnitude of experienced magnetic force. Note: Each of the
wires below carry the same amount of current in the direction indicated by the arrowheads. The
displacements from tail to head of each arrow are all equal.
Use <, > or =, e.g. I < III = II
