EMF. Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 A or more. Some people have expressed concern that the electromagnetic fields

(EMFs) from such lines near their homes could cause health dangers.
Part A
For a line with current 180 A and at a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? Express your answer in teslas.

B=____T

Part B
What magnetic field does the line produce at ground level as a percent of the earth's magnetic field, which is 0.50 gauss.

B/Be=____%

Answer:

The magnetic field B of the transmission line is 4.5·10^(-6)T. The ratio B/Be is 0.0009% (there is no risk to human health)

Explanation:

we will consider a dc transmission line as an infinite longitudinal line in the Z-axis with a dc current of 180 A. To solve the problem we will use ampere's law. We can consider the geometry of the problem (Rotational symmetry in respect of Z-axis) than the field B is annular with center in the transmission line.

\vec{B}(r,\varphi,z)=B(r)\vec{\varphi}

\displaystyle\oint_{C} \vec{B}(r)\,\vec{dl}=\mu I_c

We will use a circular amperian curve C. Therefore:

\displaystyle\oint_{C} \vec{B}(r)\,\vec{dl}=\int_{0}^{2\pi} B(r)\vec{\varphi}\,\vec{\varphi}rd\varphi=B(r)r\int_{0}^{2\pi} \,d\varphi=B(r)r2\pi=\mu I_c

B(r)=\displaystyle\frac{\mu 180A}{r2\pi}

For a height of 8.0m (r=8m):

B(8m)=\displaystyle\frac{\mu 180A}{8m2\pi}=4.5\cdot10^{-6}T

Compared to the earth magnetic field:

\displaystyle\frac{B}{B_e}\%= \frac{B}{B_e}100=0.0009\%

An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 41 m/s
densk [106]

Answer:

-56.9 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = -165 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (-165 m)

v = -56.9 m/s

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?
DIA [1.3K]
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

A motor does 3,441 joules of work in 13.66 seconds. What is the power of the motor?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Power = 251.9 Watts

Explanation:

Power = Work Done / Time taken

Power = 3441 / 13.66

Power = 251.9 Joule / Second

Power = 251.9 Watts
