We have seen that the heart produces a magnetic field, and that this can be used to diagnose problems with the heart. The magnetic field of the heart is a dipole field that is produced by a loop current in the outer layers of the heart. Suppose the field at the center of the heart is 90 pT (a pT is 10−12T ) and that the heart has a diameter of approximately 12 cm. What current circulates around the heart to produce this field?

Which best describes the first law of thermodynamics as compared to the second law of thermodynamics? a. the first law describes how thermal energy is conserved but not the direction it moves. b. the first law describes the direction thermal energy moves but not how it is conserved. c. the first law describes how thermal energy can be created but not how it can be destroyed. d. the first law describes how thermal energy can be destroyed but not how it can be created.
