Three long, straight wires are carrying currents that have the same magnitude. In C the current is opposite to that in A and B.

The wires are equally spaced. Each wire experiences a net force due to the other two wires.
Which wire experiences a net force that has the greatest magnitude?

Answer:

(b) B

Explanation:

The direction of force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field can be found using the right hand rule, which states that-"stretch the thumb in the direction of the current, and point the fingers in the direction of magnetic field. The direction of palm will then give the direction of force on the wire

On wire B the forces due to A and C act in the same direction and so strengthen each other. they get added up because the forces act in the same direction.

on wires A and C the forces (due to B and C and A and B

respectively) act in opposite directions and therefore tend to cancel out.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

All of the frictions are the same, but weight always goes straight down so it can only be A or B. Since they are going down a slope, then the normal force must be sloped. A is the only one out of A and B with a sloped normal force, so it has to be A

Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate
vichka [17]

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

To convert centimeters to kilometers, which conversion factors would you need?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The last option is the only correct one if you like to multiply

The second last option is good if you like to divide.

Explanation:

Each fraction in the last two options has a value of 1

example

dividing by 1

15 cm /(100 cm/ 1 m) = 0.15 m          0.15 m / (1000 m/ 1km) = 0.00015 km

and

multiplying by 1

15 cm(1 m / 100cm) = 0.15 m         0.15m(1 km/1000m) = 0.00015 km

only one of the two fractions in each of the top two options has a value of 1.

How do resistors in parallel affect the total resistance?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

They're going to increase the total resistance as R_{T} = \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1}{R_i} \right)^{-1}

Explanation:

If the resistors are in parallel, the potential difference is the same for each resistor. But the total current is the sum of the currents that pass through each of the resistors. Then

I = I_1 + I_2 + ... + I_N

where

I_i = \frac{V_i}{R_i}

but

V_i = V_j = V for i,j= 1, 2,..., N

so

I = \frac{V}{R_1}+ \frac{V}{R_2} + ... + \frac{V}{R_N} = \left(\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_N}\right)V = \frac{V}{R_T}

where

R_T = \left(\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_N}\right)^{-1} =\sum\limits_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1}{R_i} \right)^{-1}
