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 lithium react with cold water?
Tomtit [17]
Lithium metals reacts slowly with water to form a colourless solution of lithiums hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic, but the reaction is slower than that of sodium (immediately below lithium in the periodic table)

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.
uysha [10]
Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

so, the other force is 7.3 N and it is acting in west direction.
