A conductor that is conducting current generates a magnetic field everywhere around it. This magnetic field exerts force on the compass's magnetic needle, causing the needle to deviate.

Definition of Maxwell's rule

A current-conducting conductor creates a magnetic field everywhere around it. The magnetic needle of the compass experiences force from this magnetic field, which causes the needle to veer.

Equation for deflection

We have so far established that the total flux of electric field out of a closed surface is just the total enclosed charge multiplied by 1/ε0, ∫→E⋅d→A=q/ε0. This is Maxwell's first equation. It represents completely covering the surface with a large number of tiny patches having areas d→A.

car travels 80 meters due north in 12 seconds then the car turns around and travels 30 Mi do South in 4 seconds calculate the av
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

1) 3.1 m/s

2) 7 m/s

Explanation:

Distance due north = 80 m

Distance due south = 30 m

Distance between north and south = (80 - 30) m = 50 m

Total time = (12 + 4) sec = 16 sec

1) Average speed = 50/16 = 3.1 m/s

2) Average velocity = Total distance/total time = (80 + 30) m/16 s = 110/16 = 7 m/s
