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.

The overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column vibrates as in a pipe that is open at both ends. (a) Find
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance  between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is  approximately  v = 343 m/s

so

lowest frequency will be = \frac{v}{2L}   ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = \frac{343}{2(0.32)}

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

so

wavelength =  \frac{v}{f}   ..............2

put here value

wavelength =  \frac{343}{4000}  

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance =  \frac{wavelength}{2}   ..............3

distance =  \frac{0.08575}{2}  

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance  between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm
