A horizontal wire 1 m long carries 0.4 A and is oriented 30° N of W. The Earth's magnetic field runs due north at this location

and is 1.5 x 10^-5 T in strength. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the wire?

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.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave motion is defined as the propagation of the disturbance due to continous vibration of the molecules of the medium. Waves oduced due to disturbance carry only energy but not the matter.

The waves move water up and down and carry the energy.

Therefoe, the statement "(a) The waves carry water outward away from where the rock hit. The moving water carries energy outward"is incorrect.

The waves move water up and down and carry the energy, but not matter.

Therefore, the statement "(c) The waves ony make the water move u and down. No energy is carried outward from where the rock hit" is incorrect.

When a rock is droed ito a pd, a disturbance starts from the point where the stone hits the water. The waves produced carry the energy from the starting point toother locatons over a large distance which is not possible by the single molecules of water.

Therefore, the statement "(c) The waves only make the water move up and down, but the waves do carry energy outward away from where the rock hit" is correct.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

-8

Explanation:

sea level is another way of saying zero. If something is above or above sea level it is a positive integer. like a regular number. if something is below sea level it is a negative integer like negative numbers. They said 8 is the elevation but new orleans is BELOW sea level. that means the integer we are looking for is going to be a negative number. 8 is the number they told us and since it is below the sea level. The integer of new orleans that represents its elevation is -8.
