2. Two long parallel wires each carry a current of 5.0 A directed to the east. The two wires are separated by 8.0 cm. What is th

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of magnetic field at given point = $5.33$ × $10^{-5}$ T

Explanation:

Given :

Current passing through both wires = 5.0 A

Separation between both wires = 8.0 cm

We have to find magnetic field at a point which is 5 cm from any of wires.

From biot savert law,

We know the magnetic field due to long parallel wires.

⇒ $B = \frac{\mu_{0}i }{2\pi R}$

Where $B =$ magnetic field due to long wires, $\mu_{0} =$ $4\pi \times10^{-7}$ , $R =$ perpendicular distance from wire to given point

From any one wire $R_{1} =$ 5 cm, $R_{2} =$ 3 cm

so we write,

∴ $B = B_{1} + B_{2}$

$B = \frac{\mu_{0} i}{2\pi R_{1} } + \frac{\mu_{0} i}{2\pi R_{2} }$

$B =\frac{ 4\pi \times10^{-7} \times5}{2\pi } [\frac{1}{0.03} + \frac{1}{0.05} ]$

$B = 5.33\times10^{-5} T$

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field at given point = $5.33\times10^{-5} T$

A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th

vivado [14]

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

$\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm$

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
