If the current in a wire is directed upward, what is the direction of the magnetic field produced by the current?

2 answers:

8 0

If the direction of the current is upward, then the direction of magnetic field would be "Counter-clockwise"

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B. counterclockwise

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the right-hand rule:

- put your thumb finger of the right hand in the same direction of the current in the wire (upward)

- wrap the other fingers around the thumb

- the direction of the other fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field lines

By doing these steps, we see that the other fingers form concentric circles in a counterclockwise direction (seen from above), so this is the direction of the magnetic field lines.

When you push a child on a swing, your action is most effective when your pushes are timed to coincide with the natural frequenc

OleMash [197]

Answer:

$T = 4.48 s$

we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

Explanation:

Natural frequency of a simple pendulum of L length is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

so the time period of the oscillation is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

so we will have

$L = 5 m$

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{9.81}}$

$T = 4.48 s$

also from above formula we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

5.5 N

Explanation:

mass of balloon (m) = 12.5 g = 0.0125 kg

density of helium = 0.181 kg/m^{3}

radius of the baloon (r) = 0.498 m

density of air = 1.29 kg/m^{3}

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.29 m/s^{2}

find the tension in the line

the tension in the line is the sum of all forces acting on the line

Tension =buoyant force + force by helium + force of weight of rubber

force = mass x acceleration

from density = \frac{mass}{volume} , mass = density x volume

buoyant force = density x volume x acceleration

where density is the density of air for the buoyant force

buoyant force = 1.29 x (\frac{4]{3} x π x 0.498^{3}) x 9.8 = 6.54 N

force by helium = density x volume x acceleration

force by helium = 0.181 x (\frac{4]{3} x π x 0.498^{3}) x 9.8 = 0.917 N

force of its weight = mass of rubber x acceleration

force of its weight = 0.0125 x 9.8 = 0.1225 N

Tension = buoyant force + force by helium + force of weight of rubber

the force of weight of rubber and of helium act downwards, so they

carry a negative sign.

Tension = 6.54 - 0.917 - 0.1225 = 5.5 N
