Explain the difference between a conductor and an insulator. Give two examples of each.

1 answer:

3 0

There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors). A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity. Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

The average Intensity of the electromagnetic field due to sunlight at the surface of the earth is 1400 W/m^2. Calculate the maxi

Ann [662]

Answer:

1027 N/C

3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

I = Intensity of electromagnetic field = 1400 W/m²

E₀ = Maximum value of electric field

Intensity of electromagnetic field is given as

I = (0.5) ε₀ E₀² c

1400 = (0.5) (8.85 x 10⁻¹²) (3 x 10⁸) E₀²

E₀ = 1027 N/C

B₀ = maximum value of magnetic field

using the equation

E₀ = B₀ c

1027 = B₀ (3 x 10⁸)

B₀ = 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

A long solenoid with 8.22 turns/cm and a radius of 7.00 cm carries a current of 19.4 mA. A current of 3.59 A exists in a straigh

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. 3.039cm

b.magnetic field is $B=2.958\times10^{-5}T$

Explanation:

Direction of the solenoid magnetic field is along the axis of the solenoid. and magnetic field due to the wire perpendicular to that due to the solenoid.. Magnetic field at r is given by:

$\overrightarrow B = \overrightarrow B_s+ \overrightarrow B_w,\ \ \ \ \ \overrightarrow B_s\perp \overrightarrow B_w$

Angle of net magnetic field from axial direction is given by:

$tan\ \theta=\frac{B_w}{B_s}$ ,

Field due to solenoid:

$B_s=\mu_onI_s, \ \ \ \ n=(8.22 t/cm)(100cm/m)=822turn/m$

Field due to wire:

$B_w=\frac{\mu_oI_w}{2\pi r}$

Therefore, r:

$tan\ \theta=\frac{B_w}{B_s}\\\\=\frac{\mu_oI_w}{2\pi r(\mu_o nI_s)}\\\\r=\frac{I_w}{2\pi nI_stan \ \theta}\\\\r=\frac{3.59A}{2\pi\times822\times19.4\times10^{-3}A \ tan 49.7\textdegree}\\\\r=3.039cm$

Hence, the radial distance is 3.039cm

b.The magnetic field strength is given by:

$B=\sqrt{B_w^2+B_s^2}\\\\tan 49.7\textdegree=\frac{B_w}{B_s}\\\\1.179=\frac{B_w}{B_s}\\\\B_w=1.179B_s\\\\B=\sqrt{(4\pi\times10^{-7}T.m/A\times 822\times19.4\times10^{3}A)+1.179(4\pi\times10^{-7}T.m/A\times 822\times19.4\times10^{-3}A)}\\\\B=2.958\times10^{-5}T$

Hence, the magnetic field is $B=2.958\times10^{-5}T$

A negative charge is moving across a room from south to north. A magnetic field runs from east to west. In what direction is the

erica [24]

Here is your answer

C. towards the floor

REASON:

Using Fleming's Left hand rule we can determine the direction of force applied on a moving charged particle placed in a magnetic field.

The direction of current will be just opposite to the direction of electron(negative charge) because current moves from positive to negative terminal whereas electron moves from negative to positive terminal.

So, direction of current- North to South

Now applying Fleming's Left hand rule we get the direction of force in downward direction, i.e. towards the floor.
