Two points, point A and point B, are situated above a current-carrying wire. Point B is located at a distance R from the wire, w

hich is twice as far from the wire as point A. By what factor is the magnetic field at point A larger or smaller than the magnetic field at point B?

Explanation:

It is given that, there are two points situated above a current-carrying wire. Point B is located at a distance R from the wire, which is twice as far from the wire as point A such that,

$r_B=R$

And $r_A=R/2$

We know that the magnetic field at a distance R is inversely proportional to the distance from wire as :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o}{2\pi}\dfrac{I}{r}$

$B_A\propto\dfrac{1}{(R/2)}$

$B_B\propto\dfrac{1}{(R)}$

$\dfrac{B_A}{B_B}=\dfrac{1/(R/2)}{1/R}$

$\dfrac{B_A}{B_B}=\dfrac{2}{1}$

$B_A=2B_B$

So, the magnetic field at point A larger than the magnetic field at point B by a factor of 2. Hence, this is the required solution.

1) Magnitude of the force: $1.6\cdot 10^{-12} N$

The magnitude of the electric force on an electric charge is:

$F=qE$

where q is the charge and E the electric field. In this problem:

$q = +e = +1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the calcium ion

$E=1.0 \cdot 10^7 N/C$ is the magnitude of the electric field

Substituting,

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(1.0\cdot 10^7 N/C)=1.6\cdot 10^{-12} N$

2) Acceleration: $2.5\cdot 10^{13} m/s^2$

The atomic mass of a calcium ion is approx. 40 a.m.u, this means that its mass is

$m=40 \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-27}kg)=6.4\cdot 10^{-26} kg$

And so, the acceleration of the ion is given by Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-12}N}{6.4\cdot 10^{-26} kg}=2.5\cdot 10^{13} m/s^2$

3) Yes

Explanation: a particle with same charge (+e) of the calcium ion could have the same acceleration of the calcium ion if it has exactly the same mass. In fact, the acceleration depends only on two factors: the mass and the force, so it both are the same, than the acceleration does not change.

4) The mass of the particle

In fact, the acceleration of the particle is given by:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where F is the electric force and m the mass. Therefore, if the mass changes ,the acceleration changes as well.

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude thatthere mustbe no forces applied to the car.the netforc

laila [671]

Answer:Net Force is zero

Explanation:

Given

Car is moving to the left with constant velocity i.e. net force on the car is zero

because change in velocity with respect to time is acceleration thus force is also zero because net acceleration is zero

Mathematically

acceleration $=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

as velocity is constant therefore $\Delta v=0$

thus a=0 , F=0

a sample of ideal gas is originally at 40 degrees celsius. what is the final temperature of the gas if the volume is doubled and

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

313 K or 40 degree celsius.

Explanation:

Initial , $V_{i}=V_{0}$

$P_{i}=P_{0}$

$T_{i} =40+273=313K$

Now, final

$P_{f} =\frac{1}{2}P_{0}$

$V_{f} =2V_{0}$

Combined the ideal gas law

$\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{T_{i}}=\frac{P_{f}V_{f}}{T_{f}} \\\frac{P_{0}V_{0}}{T_{0}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{P_{0}2V_{0}}{T_{f}} \\T_{f}=T_{0}\\T_{f}=313K$

Therefore, the final temperature of ideal gas is 313 K.
