Answer:

Electric Current

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the flow of electrons through the wire and the components in a circuit.

This flow of electrons is caused by the presence of a battery, which creates a potential difference in the circuit. As a result of this potential difference, the electrons in the wire flow from the negative pole of the battery towards the positive pole (passing through the wire and the components of the circuit).

A solenoid 25.0 cmcm long and with a cross-sectional area of 0.550 cm^2 contains 460 turns of wire and carries a current of 90.0

Answer:

a. B = 0.20T

b. u = 17230.6 J/m³

c. E = 0.236J

d. L = 5.84*10^-5 H

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the magnetic field in the solenoid you use the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_o n i}{L}$ (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

n: turns of the solenoid = 460

L: length of the solenoid = 25.0cm = 0.25m

i: current = 90.0A

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(460)(90.0A)}{0.25m}=0.20T$

The magnetic field in the solenoid is 0.20T

b. The magnetic permeability of air is approximately equal to the magnetic permeability of vacuum. To calculate the energy density in the solenoid you use:

$u=\frac{B^2}{2\mu_o}=\frac{(0.20T)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)}=17230.6\frac{J}{m^3}$

The energy density is 17230.6 J/m³

c. The total energy contained in the solenoid is:

$E=uV$ (2)

V is the volume of the solenoid and is calculated by assuming the solenoid as a perfect cylinder:

$V=AL$

A: cross-sectional area of the solenoid = 0.550 cm^2 = 5.5*10^-5m^2

$V=(5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(0.25m)=1.375*10^{-5}m^3$

Then, the energy contained in the solenoid is:

$E=(17230.6J/m^3)(1.375*10^{-5}m^3)=0.236J$

The energy contained is 0.236J

d. The inductance of the solenoid is calculated as follow:

$L=\frac{\mu_o N^2 A}{L}=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(460)^2(5.5*10^{-5}m^2)}{0.25m}\\\\L=5.84*10^{-5}H$

The inductance of the solenoid is 5.84*10^-5 H

The graph in the accompanying figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of the force exerted by a given spring as a function of the

serious [3.7K]

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched spring is 1 J.

<h3>What is Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force on the spring.

Given that;

Force on the spring = 350 Newton

Distance stretched = 7 centimeters or 0.07 m

Hence;

F = ke

k = F/e = 350 Newton/0.07 m = 5000 N/m

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke^2

= 0.5 × 5000 × (2 × 10^-2)^2 =1 J
