6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The components of a vector can not have a magnitude greater than the vector itself.The magnitude of a component is always lesser than vector because the magnitude is a product of the vector and cos Ф where the value of cos Ф , x, is -1<x<1. Additionally, applying the Pythagorean relationship, you expect the sum of squares of the components to equal the square of the magnitude of the vectors.However, there is a situation where a component of a vector has a magnitude which equals the magnitude of the vector.

If electrical current is moving through a horizontal wire toward your face, what direction is the induced magnetic field?

adoni [48]

Answer:(b)

Explanation:

Given

Electric current flowing through the horizontal wire towards the observer's face.

The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand thumb rule, i.e. place the thumb in the direction of current and the wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field

the direction of the magnetic field will be counterclockwise as observed by an observer.

Consider two positively charged particles, one of charge q₀ (particle 0) fixed at the origin, and another of charge q₁ (particle

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Explanation: according to Coulomb's inverse-square law is proportional to the square of distance between them and is given by

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{r^2}$

where r is the distance between the charges & k is the Coulomb's constant

k=1/(4*ε_0*π)

k=9*10^9

the distance between the charges in this question is d_1

hence the magnitude of the force exerted by q_0 on q_1 is given by

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{d_1^2}$

due to location of particle 1 above the particle 0 the direction of force is parallel to y axis and in vector form

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{d_1^2} j$

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

$W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta$

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option
