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:
8977.7 kg/m^3
Explanation:
Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3
Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N
According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.
Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block
Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g
= 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N
True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force
m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839
m = 0.4937 kg
Density of block = mass of block / volume of block
=
Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3
