A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 5.6 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 140 A. (a) What is the mag

netic field in microteslas at the site of the compass due to the power line? (b) Will this field interfere seriously with the compass reading? The horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field at the site is 20 µT.

Answer:

(a) B = 5.6 micro Tesla

Explanation:

Current in the wire, i = 140 A

distance, r = 5 m

The formula for the magnetic field at a distance r due to the current carrying wire

B=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}

B=10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times140}{5}

B = 5.6 x 10^-6 Tesla

B = 5.6 micro Tesla

(b) As the magnetic field of earth at this site is 20 micro tesla so the magnetic field due to current carrying wire interfere the magnetic compass.

Why are renewable energy resources going to be important in our future
marshall27 [118]
Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
I hope this helped! :-)

A copper wire has a diameter of 2.097 mm. what magnitude current flows when the drift velocity is 1.54 mm/s? take the density of
frozen [14]

By using drift velocity of the electron, the current flow is 7.20 ampere.

We need to know about drift velocity of electrons to solve this problem. The drift velocity can be determined as

v = I / (n . A . q)

where v is drift velocity, I is current, n is atom number density, A is surface area and q is the charge.

From the question above, we know that

d = 2.097 mm

r = (0.002097 / 2) m

v = 1.54 mm/s = 0.00154 m/s

ρ = 8.92 x 10³ kg/m³

q = e = 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹C

Find the atom density

n = Na x ρ / Mr

where Na is Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³), Mr is the atomic weight of copper (63.5 g/mol = 0.635 kg/mol).

n = 6.022 x 10²³ x 8.92 x 10³ / 0.635

n = 8.46 x 10²⁷ /m³

Find the current flows

v = I / (n . A . q)

0.00154 = I / (8.46 x 10²⁷ . πr² . 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹)

0.00154 = I / (8.46 x 10²⁷ . π(0.002097 / 2)² . 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹)

I = 7.20 ampere
