Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.

A current I flows down a wire of radius a.

Helga [31]

Answer:

(a) $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) $J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

Explanation:

(a) The surface current density of a conductor is the current flowing per unit length of the conductor.

$K = \frac{dI}{dL}$

Considering a wire, the current is uniformly distributed over the circumferenece of the wire.

$dL = 2\pi r$

The radius of the wire = a

$dL = 2\pi a$

The surface current density $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) The current density is inversely proportional

$J \alpha s^{-1}$

$J = \frac{k}{s}$ ......(1)

k is the constant of proportionality

$I = \int\limits {J} \, dS$

$I = J \int\limits \, dS$ ........(2)

substituting (1) into (2)

$I = \frac{k}{s} \int\limits\, dS$

$I = k \int\limits^a_0 \frac{1}{s} {s} \, dS$

$I = 2\pi k\int\limits\, dS$

$I = 2\pi ka$

$k = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

substitute $J = \frac{k}{s}$

$J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

What effects do coil of wire on a compass after it has been connected to a battery

Yanka [14]

Explanation:

The compass needle moved when the wire was connected to the battery. The important point here is that the needle is affected by the wire only when both ends of the wire are connected to the battery because only at this time is current flowing through the circuit.
