Gate-control theory

<h3>What is Gate-control theory?</h3>

According to the Gate Control Theory of Pain, the spinal cord has a system that allows pain signals to be amplified in the brain before being processed at the spinal cord itself, or attenuated there. 

The mechanism that allows or prevents the passage of pain signals is known as the gate. The gate may be open or it may be closed, one of two possibilities: 

  • When the gate is open, pain signals can enter and are delivered to the brain, where they are perceived as pain.
  • If the gate is closed, pain signals will be prevented from ascending to the brain and won't be felt.

The administration of a non-noxious (soothing or light rubbing) stimulus can help engage the gate control mechanism and alleviate pain in those who are exposed to painful (noxious) stimuli.

If you are traveling around a curve at a constant speed of 30 km/h, is your velocity changing?
kobusy [5.1K]
Velocity means [ (speed) and (direction) ].

If you're traveling around a curve, then your direction is
always changing.  So your velocity is always changing,
even if your speed isn't.

A magnetic field is entering into a coil of wire with radius of 2(mm) and 200 turns. The direction of magnetic field makes an an
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

b) <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

c) <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

Explanation:

The radius of the wire r = 2 mm = 0.002 m

the number of turns N = 200 turns

direction of the magnetic field ∅ = 25°

magnetic field strength B = 0.02 T

varying time = 2 sec

The cross sectional area of the wire = \pi r^{2}

==> A = 3.142 x 0.002^{2} = 1.257 x 10^-5 m^2

Field flux Φ = BA cos ∅ = 0.02 x 1.257 x 10^-5 x cos 25°

==> Φ = 2.278 x 10^-7 Wb

The induced EMF is given as

E = NdΦ/dt

where dΦ/dt = (2.278 x 10^-7)/2 = 1.139 x 10^-7

E = 200 x 1.139 x 10^-7 = <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) If the two ends are connected to a resistor of 20 Ω, the current through the resistor is given as

I = E/R

where R is the resistor

I = (2.278 x 10^-5)/20 = <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em> </em>c) power delivered to the resistor is given as

P = IE

P = (1.139 x 10^-6) x (2.278 x 10^-5) = <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>
