Answer:
1.6 x N
Explanation:
If the force between two actual wires has this value, the current is defined to be exactly 1 A.
The force between two parallel wires carrying current can be defined as,
F= μ
L/ 2πd
where,
current = 1Amp
current = 2amp
Length 'L'= 1m
distance 'd'= 2.5m
permeability of free space 'μ'= 4πx N/m
Putting the above values in the equation,
F=( 4πx x 1 x 2 x 1 )/ 2πx2.5
F= 1.6 x N

Answer:
Explanation:
The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q is the charge
r is the distance from the charge
In this problem, we have
E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)
r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)
Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:
True
In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
where m is the mass of the object and
is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
