Answer:

The thumb of the right hand must point in the direction of the current.

Explanation:

The right hand rule is used to find the direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. In this rule, it is consider to hold a current carrying wire in your right hand such that the thumb shows the direction of current. The curled finger gives the direction of magnetic field.

For example, if the current points in northward direction, then the direction of magnetic field is in anticlockwise direction.

Answer:

Thumb

Explanation:

The direction of the magnetic field can be determined by using the right-hand rule. According to this rule, hold a current carrying wire in your right hand such that the thumb of the right-hand point in the direction of electric current. The curled finger gives the direction of the magnetic field.

Hence, the thumb shows the electric current.

Ymorist [56]

If the cross-section of a wire of fixed length is doubled, the resistance of that wire change into doubled.We know that the total length of the wires will affect the amount of resistance. The longer the wire, the more resistance that there will be so the answer is doubled.

While the change in blank will remain the same during a collision, the force needed to bring an object to a stop can be blank if

Ahat [919]

Explanation :

There are two types of collision i.e. elastic and elastic collision.

Elastic collision : In this type of collision, the total momentum and the kinetic energy of the particles remains constant.
Inelastic collision : In this type of collision, only the momentum remains constant while there is some loss of kinetic energy occurs.

From Newton's second law,

F = m a

a is the rate of change of velocity.

$F=m\dfrac{v}{t}$

There is a inverse relation between the force and the time of collision.

The change in momentum will remain the same during a collision, the force needed to bring an object to a stop can be increased if the time of the collision is decreased.
