Pluto has a shape that is nearly round, and it orbits the Sun. It has five known moons. It is called a dwarf planet and not a planet because its orbit is not cleared of like-sized or larger objects

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Pluto has been mentioned as Dwarf Planet as it doesn't hold the standardisation to be counted as a Planet.

According to the standard criteria, a planet must have been surrounded by the orbit of the Sun, it must have significant mass to have a gravitational pull and hence, circular shape, and should have isolated surrounding.

But, Pluto has various celestial bodies in its vicinity that are larger in size. Hence, as concluded by the Union, any celestial body that does not has clear surrounding, is regarded as Dwarf Planet just like Pluto.

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>

The magnetic field at the center of a 1.40-cm-diameter loop is 2.50 mT . PART A) What is the current in the loop?
NISA [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of loop, d = 1.4 cm

Radius of loop, r = 0.7 cm = 0.007 m

Magnetic field, B=2.5\ mT=2.5\times 10^{-3}\ T

(A) Magnetic field of a current loop is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_oI}{2r}

I is the current in the loop

I=\dfrac{2Br}{\mu_o}

I=\dfrac{2\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\times 0.007}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}

I = 27.85 A

(B) Magnetic field at a distance r from a wire is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}

r=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}

r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 27.85}{2\pi \times 2.5\times 10^{-3}}

r = 0.00222 m

r=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
