What term describes the rate at which charge passes a point in a circuit

2 answers:

That's electric "current", usually described in 'Amperes'.

1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second ... "the rate at which
charge passes a point in the circuit".

An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, $E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.

The magnetic field in north direction, $B_y=19911.5\ nT$

The magnetic field in west direction, $B_x=-3257.1\ nT$

The magnetic field in vertical direction, $B_z=48381.8 \ nT$

Magnetic field, $B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT$

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

$E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$

$v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s$ (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})$

Since, $i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j$

And, $i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]$

$|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}$

$F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N$

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i, has its central axis parallel to a uniform m

gogolik [260]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

The force on a coil of N turns, enclosing an area, A and carrying a current I in the presence of a magnetic field B, is :

F = N * I * A * B * sinθ

Where θ is the angle between the normal of the enclosed area and the magnetic field.

Since the normal of the area is parallel to the magnetic field, θ = 0

Hence:

F = NIABsin0

F = 0 or Zero

A certain 100W light bulb has an efficiency of 95%. How much thermal energy will this light bulb add to the inside of a room in

Usimov [2.4K]

Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.

5 watts means 5 joules of energy per second.

(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 9,000 seconds

(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second) = 45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours
