1 answer:

3 0

The name given to a fuel made from living organisms or their waste is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels, in the form of oil and coal, have been utilised by mankind for approximately 100 years in order to produce energy. Today, there is a shift to more renewable energy sources such as solar, wind or wave power.

A long solenoid has 103 turns/cm and carries current i. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle of radius 2.60 cm perp

Aneli [31]

Answer:

0.23348 A

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field

v = Velocity of electron = $1.38\times 10^7\ m/s$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

r = Radius of circle = 0.026 m

N = Number of turns = 103 turns/cm = $103\times 100\ turns/m$

I = Current

The magnetic and centripetal force will be balanced

$Bqv=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{mv}{qr}$

The magnetic field in solenoid is given by

$B=N\mu_0 I\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{B}{N\mu_0}$

From the first equation

$I=\frac{\frac{mv}{qr}}{N\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mv}{N\mu_0qr}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.38\times 10^7}{103\times 100\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.026}\\\Rightarrow I=0.23348\ A$

The current in the solenoid is 0.23348 A

The spacing between two closely spaced oppositely charged parallel plates is decreased. What happens to the electrostatic potent

erastovalidia [21]

<h2>Electrostatic Potential Decreases</h2>

Explanation:

If the spacing between two closely spaced oppositely charged parallel plates is decreased the electrostatic potential difference between the plates will decrease.

An electrostatic potential that is also referred to as the electric field potential or potential drop is the amount of work required to replace a unit of charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the electric field without any change in acceleration.

Therefore, if the distance will decrease between oppositely charged plates there will be more affinity to attract which will reduce the amount of work done thus decreasing the electric potential

∴ The Correct option is (b)

A person weighing 0.9 kN rides in an elevator that has a downward acceleration of 1.9 m/s^2. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 0.7255kN

Explanation:

The elevator floor acts on the person with a force that is due to the gravitational acceleration less the downward acceleration of the elevator:

(force of floor F) = (mass of person m) x [ (grav. acceleration g) - (elevator acceleration a) ]

in other words, considering the elevator floor as a reference frame in the Earth's gravitational field, the person's weight decreases due to the downward acceleration, as follows:

$F = m\cdot(g-a)$
