Answer:

B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the calculation of the magnetic field generated by a current in a wire:

B=\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

I: current = 6.0 A

r: distance to the wire in which magnetic field is measured

In this case, you have four wires at corners of a square of length 9.0cm = 0.09m

You calculate the magnetic field in one corner. Then, you have to sum the contribution of all magnetic field generated by the other three wires, in the other corners. Furthermore, you have to take into account the direction of such magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand side rule.

If you assume that the magnetic field is measured in the up-right corner of the square, the wire to the left generates a magnetic field (in the corner in which you measure B) with direction upward (+ j), the wire down (down-right) generates a magnetic field with direction to the left (- i)  and the third wire generates a magnetic field with a direction that is 45° over the horizontal in the left direction (you can notice that in the image attached below). The total magnetic field will be:

B_T=B_1+B_2+B_3\\\\B_{T}=\frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r_1}\hat{j}-\frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r_2}\hat{i}+\frac{\mu_o I_3}{2\pi r_3}[-cos45\hat{i}+sin45\hat{j}]

I1 = I2 = I3 = 6.0A

r1 = 0.09m

r2 = 0.09m

r_3=\sqrt{(0.09)^2+(0.09)^2}m=0.127m

Then you have:

B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{cos45}{r_3})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{sin45}{r_3})\hat{j}}]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{0.09m}-\frac{cos45}{0.127m})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{0.09m}+\frac{sin45}{0.127m})]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[-16.67\hat{i}+16.67\hat{j}]\\\\B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T

What is a solution that has the capacity to hold additional solute at a given temperature called? A. Unsaturated
gavmur [86]
<span>The correct option is A. There are three basic type of solutions, these are: unsaturated, saturated and super saturated solution. An unsaturated solution is a solution that has the capacity to hold more solute at a particular temprature, it is a solutin that is not yet saturated with the solute [particles dissolve in it].</span>

weight of Ali is 500andN.he is standing on the ground with an area of 0.025 m^2 area .we can find pressure under his feet. what
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

20000 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area.

Mathematically : P =F/A    where F is force and A is area

Force = 500 N

Area= 0.025 m²

P= 500/0.025

P= 20000 Pa

When you bent the plastic ruler, what did you observe in its size? ​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.
