That's right, the correct answer is
<span>A) The isotopes have a long half-life and only remain radioactive for a long time period

The half life of an isotope is the time it takes for the amount of the sample to reduce to half of its initial value. If an isotope has a long half-life, it means it takes a long time to reduce down to a significant level, so it will remain radioactive for a long time period.</span>

A metal ring 4.30 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

A)0.00966 N/C

B) counterclockwise direction

Explanation:

We are given;

Diameter of the metal ring; d = 4.3 cm

Radius;r = 2.15 cm = 0.021- m

Initial magnetic field, B = 1.12 T

Rate of decrease of the magnetic field;dB/dt = 0.23 T/s

Now, as a result of change in magnetic field, an emf will be induced in it. Thus, , electric field is induced and given by the formula :

∫E•dr = d/dt∫B.A •dA

This gives;

E(2πr) = dB/dt(πr²)

Gives;. 2E = dB/dt(r)

E = dB/dt × 2r

We are given;

E = 0.23 × 2(0.021)

E = 0.00966 N/C

The magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring has a magnitude of 0.00966 N/C

B) The direction of electric field will be in a counterclock wise direction when viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet
