Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by the following expression

F = B i L where B is magnetic field perpendicular to wire or current , i is current and L is length of the wire.

Magnetic field of 1.5 x 10⁻⁵ T is making an angle of 60 degree with the wire so the component of field perpendicular to it

B = 1.5 X 10⁻⁵ Cos 30° = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Force = BiL

= 1.3 X 10⁻⁵ X .4 X 1

= 5.2 X 10⁻⁶ N.

The direction of force can be found out from Fleming's left hand rule . It will be along downward direction.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Complete Question

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of glass dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. As it is being inserted,  

A :

a force repels the glass out of the capacitor.  

B :

a force attracts the glass into the capacitor.    

C :

no force acts on the glass.      

D :

a net charge appears on the glass.      

E :

the glass makes the plates repel each other.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Generally when the glass dielectric is slowly inserted between the plated,

The positive plate of the capacitor will induce a negative charge on the glass while the negative  plate of the capacitor will induce a positive charge on glass which a electric field that posses an electric force that will attract the glass

Gold, which has a mass of 19.32 g for each cubic centimeter of volume, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

area = 5733.33  cm²

length = 5.47 ×10^{7} cm

Explanation:

Given data

density = 19.32 g/cm³

mass = 33.16 g

thickness = 3.000 µm = 3 ×10^{-4} cm

radius r = 1.000 µm = 1 ×10^{-4} cm

to find out

area of the leaf and  length of the fiber

solution

we know volume formula that is

volume = mass / density

volume = 33.16 /  19.32

volume = 1.72 cm³

we know that volume = thickness × area

so area

area = volume / thickness

area = 1.72 / 3 ×10^{-4}

area = 5733.33  cm²

and

we know volume = πr²L

so L = volume /  πr²

length = 1.72 / π(1×10^{-4})²

length = 5.47 ×10^{7} cm

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.
