Answer:

The magnetic field will be \large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T, '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field (\large{\overrightarrow{B}}) at a distance 'r' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current 'I' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}

where '\overrightarrow{dl}' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current 'I', at a distance 'd' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}

According to the figure if 'I_{t}' be the current carried by the top wire, 'I_{b}' be the current carried by the bottom wire and '2d' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the \bigotimes symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by \bigodot symbol.

Given \large{I_{t} = 19.5 A} and \large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}

Therefore, the magnetic field (\large{B_{t}}) at 'P' due to the top wire

B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}

and the magnetic field (\large{B_{b}}) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}

Therefore taking the value of \mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} the net magnetic field (\large{B_{M}}) at the midway between the wires will be

\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T

How To achieve the largest resistance ?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

material, eg copper, has lower resistance than steel.

length - longer wires have greater resistance.

thickness - smaller diameter wires have greater resistance.

temperature - heating a wire increases its resistance.

Find the volume v of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = x2, y =
Simora [160]

The correct answer for  the volume v of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = x2, y = 4x is 128/3 * π.

Volume of Solid of Revolution by Shell method is given by

V = 2π * integrate x(height) dx Here, height = 4x-x2

(1)& x-varies from x = 0 to x = 4 then from eqn(1)  V = 2π * integrate x(4x - x ^ 2) dx from x = 0 to 4 = 2π * integrate (4x ^ 2 - x ^ 3) dx from x = 0 to 4

Basic Rule(1) ∫ x^n dx =x^ n+1/ n+1

V=2 π [4((x ^ 3)/3) - (x ^ 4)/4] 0 ^ 4 =2 π[ 4/3 x^ 3 - x^ 4/4 ] 0 ^ 4

V = 2π [4/3 * 4 ^ 3 - (4 ^ 4)/4} - 0]

V = 128/3 * π.

9. A wave on Beaver Dam Lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart.
Kobotan [32]

Answers:

a) 10 m

b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz

c) 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength \lambda is the distance between to crests; this means we have 4\lambda in 40 m:

40 m=4\lambda

Clearing \lambda:

\lambda=\frac{40 m}{4}

\lambda=10 m

b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:

If 10 waves ---- 16 s

1 wave ----- T

Then:

T=\frac{(1 wave)(16 s)}{10 waves}

T=1.6 s This is the period of the wave

On the other hand, the frequency f of the wave has an inverse relation with its period T:

f=\frac{1}{T}

f=\frac{1}{1.6 s}

f=0.625 Hz This is the frequency of the wave

c) The speed v of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\frac{\lambda}{T}

v=\frac{10 m}{1.6 s}

Finally:

v=6.25 m/s
