Weak magnetic fields can be measured at the surface of the brain. Although the currents causing these fields are quite complicat

ed, we can estimate their size by modeling them as a current loop around the equator of a 16-cm-diameter (the width of a typical head) sphere. What current is needed to produce a 3.0 pT field—the strength measured for one subject—at the pole of this sphere?

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow diameter of the sphere then,

a = 0.08m

Thus z = a

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}

Re-arrange to find I,

I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}

I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}

I = 1.08*10^{-6}A

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is 1.08*10^{-6}A

How many hydrogen and carbon atoms in a diamond
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thus, total 4+4=8 C atoms are present per unit cell of diamond. Carbon has an electronic arrangement of 2,4. In diamond, each carbon shares electrons with four other carbon atoms - forming four single bonds.

On a hot day, the deck of a small ship reaches a temperature of 48
AlekseyPX

The final temperature of the seawater-deck system is 990°C.

<h3>What is heat?</h3>

The increment in temperature adds up the thermal energy into the object. This energy is Heat energy.

The deck of a small ship reaches a temperature Ti= 48.17°C seawater on the deck to cool it down. During the cooling, heat Q =3,710,000 J are transferred to the seawater from the deck. Specific heat of seawater= 3,930 J/kg°C.

Suppose for 1 kg of sea water, the heat transferred from the system is given by

3,710,000 = 1 x 3,930 x (T - 48.17)

T = 990°C  to the nearest tenth.

The final temperature of the seawater-deck system is 990°C.
