Use the concepts on which maxwell’s equations are based to explain why a compass needle is deflected when the compass is brought

near a wire that is carrying an electric current.

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.

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water
alekssr [168]

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

Help me please, need more assistance
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

12) q = mCΔT

125,600 J = (500 g) (4.184 J/g/K) (T − 22°C)

T = 82.0°C

13) Solving for ΔT:

ΔT = q / (mC)

a) ΔT = 1 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.45 kJ/kg/K) = 5.56°C

b) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.45 kJ/kg/K) = 11.1°C

c) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.8 kg × 0.45 kJ/kg/K) = 5.56°C

d) ΔT = 1 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.90 kJ/kg/K) = 2.78°C

e) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.4 kg × 0.90 kJ/kg/K) = 5.56°C

f) ΔT = 2 kJ / (0.8 kg × 0.90 kJ/kg/K) = 2.78°C

14) q = mCΔT

q = (2000 mL × 1 g/mL) (4.184 J/g/K) (80°C − 20°C)

q = 502,000 J

20) q = mCΔT

q = (2000 g) (4.184 J/g/K) (100°C − 15°C) + (400 g) (0.9 J/g/K) (100°C − 15°C)

q = 742,000 J

24) q = mCΔT

q = (0.10 g) (0.14 J/g/K) (8.5°C − 15°C)

q = -0.091 J

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 8.7 nC. Using insulatin
JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

(a)   Since, it is given that the blocks are identical so distribution of charge will be uniform on both the blocks.

Hence, final charge on block A will be calculated as follows.

         Charge on block A = \frac{(8.7 + 0 nC}{2}

                                           = 4.35 nC

Therefore, final charge on the block A is 4.35 nC.

(b)  As it is given that the positive charge is coming on block A . This means that movement of electrons will be from A to B.

Thus, we can conclude that while the blocks were in contact with each other then electrons will flow from A to B.
