A 580-turn solenoid is 18 cm long. The current in it is 36 A. A straight wire cuts through the center of the solenoid, along a 2

.0-cm diameter. This wire carries a 27-A current downward (and is connected by other wires that don't concern us). What is the magnitude of the force on this wire assuming the solenoid's field points due east?

Answer:

F = 0.078N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the force on the wire you first calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by the solenoid, by using the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_oNi}{L}$ (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

N: turns of the solenoid = 580

i: current in the solenoid = 36A

L: length of the solenoid = 18cm = 0.18m

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(580)(36A)}{0.18m}=0.145T$

Next, you calculate the force exerted on the wire, by using the following formula:

$F=iLBsin\theta$ (2)

i: current in the wire = 27A

L: length of the wire that perceives the magnetic field (the same as the radius of the solenoid) = 2.0 cm = 0.02m

θ: angle between wire and the direction of B

B: magneitc field in the solenoid = 0.145T

The direction of the wire are perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, hence, the angle is 90°.

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$F=(27A)(0.02m)(0.145T)sin90\°=0.078N$

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 0.078N

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

$f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

$f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

$f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}$

Employing f2/ f1, we have

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

n = Order = 1

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

f = Frequency = $3\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

$\theta$ = Angle = $75.5^{\circ}$

Lattice spacing is given by

$d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{2\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{n\times c}{f2\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1\times 3\times 10^{8}}{3\times 10^{18}\times 2\times \sin75.5^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow d=5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The lattice spacing of the crystal is $5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m$

A circuit has a current of 2.4 A. The voltage is increased to 4 times its original value, while the resistance stays the same. H

9966 [12]

Answer:

Resistance will become 4 times the previous value

Explanation:

We have given current in the circuit i = 2.4 A

According to ohm's law current in the circuit is given by $I=\frac{V}{R}$

So $2.4=\frac{V}{R}$ ............eqn 1

Now voltage is increased to 4 times so new voltage = 4 V

And current in the circuit is same as 2.4 A

We have to fond the resistance so that after increasing voltage current will be same

So $2.4=\frac{4V}{R_{unknown}}$ ..........eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and 2

$1=\frac{V}{R}\times \frac{R_{unkown}}{4V}$

$R_{unknown}=4R$

So resistance will become 4 times the previous value

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 71 J

Explanation: The formula for gravitational potential energy is Epg= mgh.

So you plug in 2.2 as m, 3.3 as h and 9.81 as g. Once you do that you should get an answer of 71.2206. But because there are only two significant digits in the question, your answer must also have two significant digits.

If the electron is initially in the ground level, E1=0.625E[infinity]E1=0.625E[infinity], and absorbs a photon, what maximum wav

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

λ = 3.1824 10-25 m

Explanation:

To release the electron from the power well the absorbed photon electro must be greater than or equal to the energy of the electron in the power well

The photon energy is E_photon = 0.625 J

The speed of light is

c = λ f

Let's use Planck's equation

E = h f

We substitute

E = h c / λ

λ = h c / E

λ = 6.63 10-34 3 108 / 0.625

λ = 3.1824 10-25 m
