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.

Why is visible light safe to humans ?
MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Visible light is the range of electromagnetic waves that humans can see. Anything that glows or gives off light makes waves of what we call visible light. The sun, light bulbs, candles and fire are all things that people automatically think of when it comes to light, but visible light comes from many sources and in many colors. Some other sources of visible light include: television and computer screens, glow sticks, and fireworks

Before radiant energy can be converted to thermal energy,it must be changed to what​
vivado [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

The radiant energy is converted into<u> electronic energy</u> before it is transformed into thermal energy.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Radiant energy occurs in the form of "Electromagnetic radiation" and it can pass through all types of matter travelling through the universe. There are numerous advantages of radiant energy. When the radiant energy is incident upon a substance the energy from the sun light excites the electrons in the atom. This sets the atoms in vibrational motion.

Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of moving particles. The thermal energy increases with increase in movement and number of moving particles. When the atoms make a transition from electronically excited state to vibrational state, the energy transfer increases the temperature of the substance. This is felt as thermal energy. Hence, the radiant energy is changed into "electronic energy" before it is converted into "thermal energy".
