Why sodium &pottasium are kept under kerosine

1 answer:

5 0

As they are Alkali metals (group 1), they are extremely reactive in both air and water so must be stored in kerosine to stop them from reacting with the air or water.

Electromagnetic radiation from a 8.25 mW laser is concentrated on a 1.23 mm2 area. Suppose a 1.12 nC static charge is in the bea

Answer:

The maximum magnetic force is 2.637 x 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

Given;

Power, P = 8.25 m W = 8.25 x 10⁻³ W

charge of the radiation, Q = 1.12 nC = 1.12 x 10⁻⁹ C

speed of the charge, v = 314 m/s

area of the conecntration, A = 1.23 mm² = 1.23 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The intensity of the radiation is calculated as;

$I = \frac{P}{A} \\\\I = \frac{8.25 \times 10^{-3} \ W}{1.23 \ \times 10^{-6} \ m^2} \\\\I = 6,707.32 \ W/m^2$

The maximum magnetic field is calculated using the following intensity formula;

$I = \frac{cB_0^2}{2\mu_0} \\\\B_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2\mu_0 I}{c} } \\\\where;\\\\c \ is \ speed \ of \ light\\\\\mu_0 \ is \ permeability \ of \ free \ space\\\\B_0 \ is \ the \ maximum \ magnetic \ field\\\\B_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 6,707.32 }{3\times 10^8} } \\\\B_0 = 7.497 \times 10^{-6} \ T$
