4 0

Answer:

(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

  • Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  • All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.
  • All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.
  • All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.

As per question,

0.000054 has 2 significant figures.

3.001 x 10⁵ has 4 significant figures.

5.600 has 4 significant figures.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m
