In this experiment we will observe the magnetic fields produced by a current carrying wire. A long wire is suspended vertically,

passing through a horizontal platform. The wire is connected to a power supply, allowing a current of 5.0 Amps to flow. A compass is placed on the platform stand near the vertical wire. When no current is present in the wire, the compass needle points in the same direction any where around the wire due to the Earth’s magnetic field. When a current flows through the wire, the compass needle deflects in a direction tangent to a circle, which is the direction of the magnetic field created by the current carrying wire.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Electric current produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be visualized as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding a wire. One way to explore the direction of a magnetic field is with a compass, as shown by a long straight current-carrying wire in. Hall probes can determine the magnitude of the field. Another version of the right hand rule emerges from this exploration and is valid for any current segment—point the thumb in the direction of the current, and the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field loops created by it.

Compasses placed near a long straight current-carrying wire indicate that field lines form circular loops centered on the wire. Right hand rule 2 states that, if the right hand thumb points in the direction of the current, the fingers curl in the direction of the field. This rule is consistent with the field mapped for the long straight wire and is valid for any current segment.

( See attachments )

- The equation for the magnetic field strength - B - (magnitude) produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is given by the Biot Savart Law:

                                  B = \frac{uo*I}{2\pi *r}

Where,

I : The current,

r : The shortest distance to the wire,

uo : The permeability of free space. = 4π * 10^-7  T. m/A

-  Since the wire is very long, the magnitude of the field depends only on distance from the wire r, not on position along the wire. This is one of the simplest cases to calculate the magnetic field strength - B - from a current.

- The magnetic field of a long straight wire has more implications than one might first suspect. Each segment of current produces a magnetic field like that of a long straight wire, and the total field of any shape current is the vector sum of the fields due to each segment. The formal statement of the direction and magnitude of the field due to each segment is called the Biot-Savart law. Integral calculus is needed to sum the field for an arbitrary shape current. The Biot-Savart law is written in its complete form as:

                             B = \frac{uo*I}{4\pi }*\int\frac{dl xr}{r^2}      

Where the integral sums over,

 1) The wire length where vector dl = direction of current (in or out of plane)

 2) r is the distance between the location of dl and the location at which the magnetic field is being calculated

 3)  r^ is a unit vector in the direction of r.

Briefly describe the difference between the behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist language acquisition theories.
Over [174]

Answer:

Described below

Explanation:

- The behaviorist theories: This theory is of the claim that language is learned through the means of reinforcement and imitation. This means that little children can mimic the language of individuals around them and also receive reinforcement to correct the formation of their words. Thereafter, words not reinforced will eventually no longer be in use.

- The nativist theories: This theory is of the claim that individuals possess an innate process which is used in language learning and is widely known as "language acquisition device" (LAD). This device is used to assist in helping them automatically learn languages.

-The interactionist theories: This theory is of the claim that innate processes which is also referred to as genetic predispositions and learning experiences from the environment both help in language development.

Car B is following Car A and has a greater speed than Car A. the two cars are moving in a straight line and in the same directio
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Collision force will be same in both the cases.

Explanation:

A perfectly inelastic collision is said to take place  when a system loses the amount of its Kinetic Energy at its maximum. In a perfectly inelastic collision,  the colliding particles stick to each other. In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by combining the two bodies with each other.

In situation 1:

Speed of Car A, v_{A} = 10 mph

Speed of Car B, v_{B} = 20 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Now, in the situation 2:

Speed of car A, v_{A} = 30 mph

Speed of car B, v_{B} = 40 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Therefore, Car A and Car B both have the same relative speed, v = 10 m/s

Name two possible ways in wivh fossils can be dated and define them <br>​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

There are two main methods determining a fossils age, relative dating and absolute dating. Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.
