During electrical storms, a bolt of lightning can transfer 10 C of charge in 2.0 µs (the amount of time can vary considerably).

We can model such a bolt as a very long current carrying wire. a. What is the magnetic field 1.0 m from such a bolt? What is the field at 1.0 km away? b. How do the field compare with Earth’s magnetic field?

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 10 C

time, t = 2 micro second

Current, i = q / t

i = 10 / (2 x 10^-6) = 5 x 10^6 A

(a)

distance, d = 1 m

the formula for the magnetic field is given by

B = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\frac{2i}{d}

B = 10^{-7}\frac{2\times 5\times 10^{6}}{1}

B = 1 Tesla

Now the distance is d' = 1 km = 1000 m

B' = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\frac{2i}{d}

B' = 10^{-7}\frac{2\times 5\times 10^{6}}{1000}

B' = 0.001 Tesla

(b) The magnetic field of earth is Bo = 3 x 10^-5 tesla

B / Bo = 3.3 x 10^4

B'/Bo = 33.3

"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

In 1-2 sentences explain how you would determine the constant k for a spring.
Dmitrij [34]

To perform an experiment to determine the force constant of a spring, you will need a stand with a boss and clamp, a spiral spring, a meter rule and different weights.

The setup is arranged as shown in the image attached. The natural length of the spring is first recorded. Different weights are added to the spring one after the other and the extension is recorded.

The weight is now plotted on the vertical axis and the extension is plotted on the horizontal axis. The slope of the graph is the force constant of the spring.
