Answer:

magnetic fields

Explanation:

compass needle itself is a magnet . It aligns itself along the earth's magnetic fields to show north south direction. When some metal piece is put near a compass needle , it tends to attract the metal piece as metal is a magnetic material . So it gets deflected from its original orientation. So magnetic field around the needle is responsible for its deflection.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. It is the magnetic fields present that causes the compass to move. A compass reacts with the Earth's magnetic field, however, if another piece of metal is near of the needle magnet's magnetic field the needle will deflect toward the metal.

Which of these is a unit of heat? a. joule b. degree celsius c. kelvin d. tesla

attashe74 [19]

-- Heat is a form of energy.
-- Joule is the SI unit of energy.
ergo
-- Joule is a unit of heat.

'Degree Celsius' and 'Kelvin' are units of temperature.
Heat and temperature are different things.

You want the current amplitude through a 0.450-mH inductor (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to be 1.90 mA when a sin

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Frequency required will be 2421.127 kHz

Explanation:

We have given inductance $L=0.450H=0.45\times 10^{-3}H$

Current in the inductor $i=1.90mA=1.90\times 10^{-3}A$

Voltage v = 13 volt

Inductive reactance of the circuit $X_l=\frac{v}{i}$

$X_l=\frac{13}{1.9\times 10^{-3}}=6842.10ohm$

We know that

$X_l=\omega L=2\pi fL$

$2\times 3.14\times f\times 0.45\times 10^{-3}=6842.10$

f = 2421.127 kHz

Answer:

for one its photo

Explanation: answers

this is easy 1. im not sure

2. erosion

3. is deposition

sorry i cant answer all of them but some simple ones deposition is when that stuff is getting moved, erosion is the breaking down of sokething and weathering is weather such as rain acid rain ice etc weather breeakin down rocks etc
