An experiment is conducted on a long straight wire of diameter d. A constant current is sent through the wire and the magnetic f

ield on the surface of the wire is measured to be B1. The experiment is then repeated with the same current but with a wire of diameter 2d. The magnetic field measured on the surface of this second wire will be which of the following?a. B1, b. B1 / 4, c. 4B1, d. B1 / 2

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To solve the exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Field described by Faraday.

The magnetic field is given by the equation:

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}$

Where,

$\mu =$ Permeability constant

d = diameter

I = Current

For the given problem we have a change in the diameter, twice that of the initial experiment, therefore we define that:

$B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}$

$B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi 2d}$

The ratio of change between the two is given by:

$\frac{B_2}{B_1} = \frac{\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}}{\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi 2d}}$

$\frac{B_2}{B_1} = \frac{d}{2d}$

$\frac{B_2}{B_1} = \frac{1}{2}$

$B_2 = B_1 \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the correct answer is D.

A pair of slits separated by 1 mm, are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 411 nm. The light falls on a screen 1.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

$\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.79$

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

$Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}$

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

$\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}$

now the shift is given as

$Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

given that the shift is

$Shift = 0.37 \delta x$

here we have

$0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

now plug in all values in it

$0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}$

$t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m$

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

Background information about reflection and refraction of light

KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?

fomenos

Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.
