What caused magnetic fields? What happens If you keep breaking a magnet in two until you reach a single atom?

Physics

magnetic materials will produce magnetic field near it

All magnets are made up of small magnet type atoms which are known as domains

These all atoms will align itself so that they all produce strong magnetic field along the axis

this magnetic field will become more strong as more number of atoms are aligned.

Now if we break the magnet into small piece then the magnetic field strength will start decreasing and at the end when only one atom will remain then the magnetic field strength will reduce to the field of one atom only.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

the correct result is r = 3.71 10⁸ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the law of universal gravitation

          F = - \frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^2}

We call the masses of the Earth M, the masses of the moon m and the masses of the rocket m ', let's set a reference system in the center of the Earth, the distance from the Earth to the moon is d = 3.84 108 m

rocket force -Earth

          F₁ = - \frac{m' M }{r^2}

rocket force - Moon

          F₂ = - \frac{m' m }{(d-r)^2}

in the problem ask for what point the force has the relation

          2 F₁ = F₂

let's substitute

          2 2 \frac{M}{r^2} = \frac{m}{(d-r)^2}

          (d-r) ² = \frac{m}{2M} r²

           d² - 2rd + r² = \frac{m}{2M} r²

           r² (1 -\frac{m}{2M}) - 2rd + d² = 0

Let's solve this quadratic equation to find the distance r, let's call

           a = 1 - \frac{m}{2M}

           a = 1 - \frac{7.36 10^{22} }{2 \  5398 10^{24}} = 1 - 6.15 10⁻³

           a = 0.99385

         

            a r² - 2d r + d² = 0

           r =  \frac  {2d \frac{+}{-}   \sqrt{4d^2 - 4 a d^2}} {2a}

           r = [2d ± 2d \sqrt{1-a}] / 2a

           r = \frac{d}{a}   (1 ± √ (1.65 10⁻³)) =  \frac{d}{a} (1 ± 0.04)

           r₁ = \frac{d}{a} 1.04

           r₂ = \frac{d}{a} 0.96

let's calculate

           r₁ = \frac{3.84 10^8}{0.99385} 1.04

           r₁ = 401.8 10⁸ m

          r₂ = \frac{3.84 10^8}{0.99385} 0.96

          r₂ = 3.71 10⁸ m

therefore the correct result is r = 3.71 10⁸ m

A. attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source.

Explanation:

When an electron is displaced in a semiconductor, the hole that's left behind is

A. attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source.

The electron leaving leaves a net + charge, which is attracted to the negative terminal.

A bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1178 ft/sec from a gun aimed at an angle of 26° above the horizontal. Find the horiz
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec
