Reasons why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.

2 answers:

7 0

A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

A 32-cm-long solenoid, 1.8 cm in diameter, is to produce a 0.30-T magnetic field at its center. If the maximum current is 4.5 A,

daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>16,931 turns</h2>

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced is expressed using the formula

$B = \frac{\mu_0NI}{L}$

B is the magnetic field = 0.30T

I is the current produced in the coil = 4.5A

$\mu_0$ is the magnetic permittivity in vacuum = 1.26*10^-6Tm/A

L is the length of the solenoid = 32 cm = 0.32 m

N is the number of turns in the solenoid.

Making N the subject of the formula from the equation above;

$B = \frac{\mu_0NI}{L}\\\\BL = \mu_0NI\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides \ by \ \mu_0I\\\\\frac{BL}{\mu_0I} =\frac{\mu_oNI}{\mu_0I} \\\\$

$N = \frac{BL}{\mu_0I}$

Substituting the give values to get N;

$N = \frac{0.3*0.32}{1.26*10^{-6} * 4.5}\\\\N = \frac{0.096}{0.00000567} \\\\N = 16,931.21$

The number of turns the solenoid must have is approximately 16,931 turns

A thundercloud has an electric charge of 48.8 C near the top of the cloud and –41.7 C near the bottom of the cloud. The magnitud

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or, $\vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

<u>Given:</u>

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

$\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km

What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017
