 ==== Project 10B: Magnets 'n' Junk ====
 Task force S.P.A.R.T.A.N has been given some much-needed downtime. Your team goes for a walk around town in order to get to know some members of the community and find the best coffee in town. As you are strolling around town, you hear a holler. "Aya!!! Hey, howdy!! Come check out this ol' piece of junk I got right here, y'all!" It's Dr. Daryn McPaddel, the town inventor/engineer who is always showing her neighbors' strange contraptions that she has made, and also happens to live adjacent to Lakeview's scrapyard, which allows her to tinker and invent to her heart's delight. This is what you see:

+Conceptual questions:
+  - What is the dl vector and how is it different from the r_sep vector?
+  - How can you use right hand rule to determine the direction of the B-field from the current loop?
+  - Why is the magnetic field smaller on the outside of the ring compared to the inside?
+  - In the real world, why would we want to use a current ring instead of a permanent magnet if we need a B-field?
+  - The current in this problem is 5000 A. Is that big or small? Is it realistic? How would you create this kind of electromagnet in real life? (Like in the video)
+  - Why would having a magnetic field from a ring of current attract the chunks of metal from the truck?
+  - How does the set up from the code compare to the integral set up from Wednesday? Write out the steps that the code takes and compare those to your steps from Wednesday.
