Answer:

2.08\cdot 10^9 A

Explanation:

The magnetic dipole moment of a circular coil with a current is given by

\mu = IA

where

I is the current in the coil

A=\pi r^2 is the area enclosed by the coil, where

r is the radius of the coil

So the magnetic dipole moment can be rewritten as

\mu = I\pi r^2 (1)

Here we can assume that the magnetic dipole moment of Earth is produced by charges flowing in Earth’s molten outer core, so by a current flowing in a circular path of radius

r=3500 km = 3.5\cdot 10^6 m

Here we also know that the Earth's magnetic dipole moment is

\mu = 8.0\cdot 10^{22} J/T

Therefore, we can re-arrange eq (1) to find the current that the charges produced:

I=\frac{\mu}{\pi r^2}=\frac{8.00\cdot 10^{22}}{\pi (3.5\cdot 10^6)^2}=2.08\cdot 10^9 A

What does it mean to say the mass is conserved during a physical change ?
Olin [163]
Mater doesn't just appear or disappeared. Chemical elements are still there just the connections and how it combines changes.

So what goes into your chemical eqation must still exist after the change.

Permanent magnet. An induced magnet would be created when a piece of iron (for example) is in contact with a magnet. Temporary magnets would be something like an electromagnet. Bar magnets are permanently magnetic unless we heat them or hammer them to cause their domains to loose alignment.

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves. True or False
Shtirlitz [24]
<h2>Answer: True </h2>

The <u>Doppler effect</u> refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

It should be noted that this effect  bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist <u>Christian Andreas Doppler</u>, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars. Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 390\ W/m.^{\circ}C

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}

where

\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}

where

L_{w} = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2
