the diagram to the right shows an electrical wire. the arrow shows the direction of the current. what does “b” represent?
1 answer:
B represents the direction of the magnetic field around the wire
Explanation:
A wire carrying an electric current always produces a magnetic field around itself. The lines of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wires are concentric circles around the wire. The magnitude of the field is given by the formula:
where
is the vacuum permeability
I is the current in the wire
r is the distance from the wire
The direction of the field lines is given by the so-called right hand rule, shown in the figure. Basically, the thumb of the right hand is placed in the direction of the electric current, while the other fingers are "wrapped" around the thumb: the direction of the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field lines.

Answer:
The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when > 0.86
The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when = 0.86
The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when < 0.86
Explanation:
Using the newton second law
k is the spring constante
b positive damping constant
m mass attached
x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position
Converting units of weights in units of mass (equation of motion)
From hook's law we can calculate the spring constant k
If we put m and k into the DE, we get
Denoting the constants
2λ = =
λ = b/0.215
λ^2 - w^2 =
This way,
The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when > 0.86
The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when = 0.86
The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when < 0.86
