Why are ocean currents important?

1 answer:

4 0

For the considerably longer periods– decades to millennia – which are relevant for climate change, the slightly larger heat capacity of the deep ocean is important. Ocean currents and mixing by winds and waves can transport and redistribute heat to deeper ocean layers.

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 40 A. If the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

Explanation:

We are given that

Current in wire=40 A

Magnetic field= $B_1=3.5\times 10^{-5}$ T( vertically downward)

We have to find the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm above the wire and 29 cm below the wire.

According to Bio-Savart law, the magnetic field exerted by the wire at distance R is given by

$B_{wire}=B_2=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi R}$

We have R=29 cm= $\frac{29}{100}=0.29 m$

1 m=100 cm

Substitute the values in the given formula

$B_2=\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 40}{2\times \pi\times 0.29}=\frac{2\times 40\times 10^{-7}}{0.29}=2.76\times 10^{-5} T$

The resultant magnetic field is given by

$B=\sqrt{B^2_1+B^2_2}$

Substitute the values then we get

$B=\sqrt{(3.5\times 10^{-5})^2+(2.76\times 10^{-5})^2}$

$B=4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

The resultant magnitude of magnetic field is same above and below the wire as it is at same distance.

The resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm below the wire= $4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

Hence, the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm above the wire= $4.5\times 10^{-5} T$

Which is a negative effect of deforestation on the environment? A. habitat restoration B. desertification C. soil production D.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Greatly accelerated by human activities since 1960, deforestation has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the annual rate of deforestation to be around 1.3 million km2 per decade.
