Answer:

1.04μT

Explanation:

Due to both wires have opposite currents, the magnitude of the total magnetic field is given by

B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_1}-\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_2}

I: electric current = 10A

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^{-7} N/A^2

r1: distance from wire 1 to the point in which B is measured.

r2: distance from wire 2.

The distance between wires is 40cm = 0.4m. Hence, r1=0.2m r2=0.6m

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

B_T=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(10A)}{2\pi}(\frac{1}{0.4m}-\frac{1}{0.6m})=1.04*10^{-6}T =1.04\mu T

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.04μT

This is a science Question. Please help.
sattari [20]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is a physics question, know that force is equals to mass divided by acceleration (acc.), so if the same force is applied, say 10 Newton and the mass of A is 2 and the mass of B is 4, then the acceleration of A is 0.2 and that of B is 0.4 by equating, and this applies to all cases.

Describe characteristics and identify oxidation-reduction(redox) reactions. <br><br> plz and thx
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

I hope This helps

Explanation:

The majority of oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions share two critical features. One is that a reduction happens in both, while equivalent oxidation occurs; they are combined.
