Wires diameters are usually specified by a number called the gauge. The smaller gauge wire has a larger diameter. For example, a

Answer:
Between a 12 gauge and a 22 gauge wire: the 12 gauge wire
Explanation:
Since the resistance in a wire is given by:
If both wires are made out of copper, the resistivity is the same.
The difference will remain in the cross area. The one with less area is the one with the greatest resistance.
Between the 2 gauge wires (22 and 12), the 12 gauge wire, with a diameter of 2.05mm is the one with smallest resistance.

Answer:
Increasing its charge
Increasing the field strength
Explanation:
For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:
where
q is the charge
v is the velocity
B is the magnetic field
m is the mass
r is the radius of the orbit
The period of the motion is
Re-arranging for r
And substituting into the previous equation
Solving for T,
So we see that the period is:
- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field
- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed
So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:
Increasing its charge
Increasing the field strength
Answer:
- tension: 19.3 N
- acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2
Explanation:
<u>Given</u>
mass A = 2.0 kg
mass B = 3.0 kg
θ = 40°
<u>Find</u>
The tension in the string
The acceleration of the masses
<u>Solution</u>
Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...
F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N
Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...
F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N
The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:
F/m = a = F/m
(T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)
T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N
__
Then the acceleration of B is ...
a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2
The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.
