The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches the
1 answer:
Answer:
T = 0.017s
Explanation:
period is the time it takes a particle to make one oscillation
An electric current is periodic in nature
The current reaches 3.8A ten times.
So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17s. let 'T' be the period:
t is the total time interval
n is the number of oscillations
10T = 0.17
T = 0.17/10 = 0.017s

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by
where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.
This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write
which can be rewritten as
The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):
So, we get:
We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.
B)
The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is
where
f is the frequency
T is the period
We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:
T' = 10 T
Then its frequency of revolution will be:
