Current = charge/time = 240/2x120 =1A.
Current flowing is 1 ampere.

Answer : Current flowing, I = 2 Ampere

Explanation :

It is given that,

Charge passing through a wire, q = 240 coulombs

Time taken to pass the charge, t = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Electric current is defined as the ratio of the electric charge divided by time taken to pass the charge.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

$I=\dfrac{q}{t}$

Putting the value of q and t we get:

$I=\dfrac{240\ C}{120\ s}$

I = 2 Ampere

So, the current passing through the wire is 2 Amps.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}$ gravitational force

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}$ electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

$F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}$

where:

$G=$ gravitational constant $=6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$

$m_1\ \&\ m_2$ are the masses of individual balloons

$R=$ the radial distance between the center of masses of the balloons.

But when there are charges on the balloons, the electrostatic force comes into act which is governed by Coulomb's law.

Given as:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}$

where:

$\rm \epsilon_0= permittivity\ of\ free\ space$

$q_1\ \&\ q_2$ are the charges on the individual balloons

R = radial distance between the charges.

A conducting loop has an area of 0.065 m2 and is positioned such that a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of

aev [14]

Answer:

initial magnetic field 1.306 T

Explanation:

We have given area of the conducting loop $A=0.065m^2$

Emf induced = 1.2 volt

Initial magnetic field B = 0.3 T

Time dt = 0.087 sec

We know that induced emf is given by $e=\frac{d\Phi }{dt}=-A\frac{db}{dt}$

$1.2=0.065\times \frac{db}{0.087}$

$db=1.606T$

So initial magnetic field = 1.606-0.3= 1.306 T

When you have a pot of water on the stove, heat is transferred to the water. Describe the behavior of the water molecules and ho

NikAS [45]

<span>Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.</span>
