Answer:

<em>"the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point of distance a around a wire, carrying a constant current I, is inversely proportional to the distance a of the wire from that point"</em>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field from a long straight wire (A approximately a finite length of wire at least for close points around the wire.) decreases with distance from the wire. It does not follow the inverse square rule as is the electric field from a point charge. We can then say that<em> "the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point of distance a around a wire, carrying a constant current I, is inversely proportional to the distance a of the wire from that point"</em>

From the Biot-Savart rule,

B = μI/2πR

where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

I is the current through the wire

μ is the permeability of free space or vacuum

R is the distance between the point and the wire, in this case is = a

If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim
Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.

A bicycle rider travels 50.0 km in 2.5 hours. What is the cyclists speed
krek1111 [17]
Hi,
Recall the formula V=d/t, where V stands for velocity or speed, d stands for distance and t stands for time. By substituting your values you get: V=50.0km/2.5h, which equals to 20km/h.
