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.

a ball is dopped and falls with an accelerationof 9.8 m/s downward it hits the ground with a velocity of 49 m/s downward how lon
juin [17]

In order to know how long it has been falling for you take the final velocity "49m/s" and divide it by the acceleration "9.8m/s" and get 5, since you have been using seconds in the calculations the answer is 5 seconds. (Fun fact, it is actually 9.82m/s per second since it accelerates and they rounded it down.)

Which of these is most directly related to the mass of an object?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Weight is directly related to mass, but it also
depends on the local gravity.

Acceleration is directly related to mass, but it also
depends on the net force acting on the mass.

<span> <span> </span></span>Volume is directly related to mass, but it also
depends on the density of the object or sample.

Inertia is directly related to mass, and is completely determined
by the mass.  It doesn't depend on anything else, so this may be
the best choice.

The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the _______ and the __
Virty [35]

The correct answer is: Option (D) length, speed

Explanation:

According to Faraday's Law of Induction:

ξ = Blv

Where,

ξ = Emf Induced

B = Magnetic Induction

l = Length of the conductor

v = Speed of the conductor.

As you can see that ξ (Emf/voltage induction) is directly proportional to the length and the speed of the conductor. Therefore, the correct answer will be Option (D) Length, Speed
