Lasers can be constructed that produce an extremely high intensity electromagnetic wave for a brief time—called pulsed lasers. T

Answer:

30643 J

Explanation:

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

t = Time taken = 1 ns

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$E_0$ = Maximum electric field strength = $1.52\times 10^{11}\ V/m$

A = Area = $1\ mm^2$

Magnitude of magnetic field is given by

$B_0=\dfrac{E_0}{c}\\\Rightarrow B_0=\dfrac{1.52\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow B_0=506.67\ T$

Intensity is given by

$I=\dfrac{cB_0^2}{2\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\times 506.67^2}{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow I=3.0643\times 10^{19}\ W/m^2$

Power, intensity and time have the relation

$E=IAt\\\Rightarrow E=3.0643\times 10^{19}\times 1\times 10^{-6}\times 1\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow E=30643\ J$

The energy it delivers is 30643 J

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Difference threshold or also Just Noticeable Difference

Explanation:

The above mentioned case between room mates, where one room mate was able to detect a minute change in volume shows an instance of the difference threshold.

Difference threshold can be defined as stimulation at its minimum level that can be detected by an individual almost 50 % of the times.

It is the lowest possible level of sound that is detectable by a person.

That is what happened in the mentioned case that when the volume was increased from 14 to 15, Amber was able to detect it.

If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f

Anna007 [38]

(1) Doubling of the current through the wire will result in doubling of its magnetic field.

The magnetic field around a wire is a function of the current I and radial distance r

$B = \frac{\mu\cdot I }{2\pi r}$

(with mu denoting the magnetic permeability of the medium). So, B is directly proportional to I. The field magnitude will double with the doubled current from 5A to 10A

(2) Using the same formula as in (1), we can see that the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radial distance from the wire. So, a particle at 20cm will experience half the magnitude compared to a particle at 10cm.

(3) Answer

If a particle with a charge q moves through a magnetic field B with velocity v, it will be acted on by the magnetic force

$F_m = B\cdot v\cdot q$

So, a particle with charge -2uC will experience a magnetic force of same magnitude but opposite direction (and perpendicular to B) as compared to a particle with a charge of 2uC

Using newtons 2nd law, explain The relationship between acceleration, mass, and force.

shtirl [24]

According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is mass times the acceleration of the object.

It would be: F = m*a

Hope this helps!
