Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering the relationship between force,

spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law

The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N

Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.6 cm apart. They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point

Neko [114]

Answer:

(a) The current should be in opposite direction

(b) The current needed is 39.8 A

Explanation:

Part (a)

Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction

Part (b)

given;

strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT

distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice

$B_c = 2(\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}) =\frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}$

R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

$B_c = \frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}\\\\I = \frac{B_c\pi R}{\mu_o} = \frac{370 *10^{-6}* \pi *0.043}{4\pi *10^{-7}}\\\\I = 39.8 \ A$

Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F
