Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.60 cm. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is

4.30×10^−5 N/m, and the wires repel each other. The current in one wire is 0.520 A.Required:a. What is the current in the second wire? b. Are the two currents in the same direction or in opposite directions?

Answer:

<em>10.75 A</em>

<em>The current is in opposite direction since it causes a repulsion force between the wires</em>

Explanation:

Force per unit length on the wires = 4.30×10^−5 N/m

distance between wires = 2.6 cm = 0.026 m

current through one wire = 0.52 A

current on the other wire = ?

Recall that the force per unit length of two wires conducting and lying parallel and close to each other is given as

F/l = \frac{u_{0}I_{1} I_{2}  }{2\pi r }

where F/l is the force per unit length on the wires

u_{0} = permeability of vacuum = 4π × 10^−7 T-m/A

I_{1} = current on the first wire = 0.520 A

I_{2} = current on the other wire = ?

r = the distance between the two wire = 0.026 m

substituting the value into the equation, we have

4.30×10^−5 = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}*0.520*I_{2}  }{2\pi *0.026} =  \frac{ 2*10^{-7}*0.520*I_{2}  }{0.026}

4.30×10^−5 = 4 x 10^-6 I_{2}

I_{2} = (4.30×10^-5)/(4 x 10^-6) = <em>10.75 A</em>

<em>The current is in opposite direction since it causes a repulsion force between the wires.</em>

An electron is ejected from the cathode by a photon with an energy slightly greater than the work function of the cathode. How w
Ksivusya [100]

It will be approximately equal.

<h3>How will the final kinetic energy change?</h3>

We can infer that all of the energy in the electron is Potential energy (PE) because the energy provided by the photon is hardly enough to outweigh the work function.

It will gain kinetic energy (KE) as it advances in the direction of the anode because it is moving through an electric field. All of the PE will have been transformed to KE by the time it reaches the anode.

According to the question

K = hf - W

W = Work function

The energy of photons is comparable. After conversion, there was only a little amount of KE remaining.

Therefore, PE (W) essentially equals KE (K).

It will about be equal.

Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.

Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)
