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

From the window of a house that is placed 15 m
kow [346]

Answer:

a) 52.915 m

b) The vertical velocity is approximately 21.092 m/s

The resultant velocity is approximately 26.5 m/s

Explanation:

a) The height of the window in the house from which the water was thrown = 15 m

The speed of the stream of water thrown = 20 m/s

The angle at which the water was thrown = 37° over the horizontal

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

a) The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall is given as follows;

y = y₀ + u·t·sin(θ) + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

y = The vertical height reached    

u = The initial velocity

t = Time of flight

From the point the steam of water is thrown, we get;

y₀ = 15 m

Therefore;

y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 1/2 × 10 × t²

y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²

When y = 0, Ground level, we get

0 = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²

5·t² - 20×sin(37°)×t -15 = 0

∴ t = (20 ×sin(37°) ± √((-20 × ·sin(37°))² - 4 × (5) × (-15)))/(2 × 5)

t ≈ 3.3128302, or t ≈ 0.906

Therefore, the time of flight of the water, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds

The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = The horizontal distance travelled by the water, x

x = u·cos(θ)×t

∴ x = 20 × cos(37°) × 3.3128302 ≈ 52.915

The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = x ≈ 52.915 m

b) The velocity at which the water will reach the ground, 'v', is given as follows;

The vertical velocity, v_y = u·sin(θ)·t - g·t

At the ground, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds

∴ v_y = 20 × sin(37) - 10 × 3.3128302 ≈ -21.092

The vertical velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v_y ≈ 21.092 m/s (downwards)

The resultant velocity, v = √(v_y² + vₓ²)

∴ v = √(21.092² + (0 × cos(37°))²) ≈ 26.5

The resultant velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v ≈ 26.5 m/s.

At standard temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide has a density of 1.98 kg/m3. What volume does 1.70 kg of carbon dioxide occ
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

<h2>volume= 0.85m^3</h2>

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance, the unit is in kg/m^3 and it is represented by the greek letter rho</em>

Step one:

given data

we are told that the density  of Co2=  1.98 kg/m3

and the mass of Co2 is= 1.70 kg

we know the relation between mass, volume and density is

density=mass/volume

make volume subject of formula we have

volume=mass/density

substitute we have

volume=1.7/1.98\\\\volume= 0.85m^3

Three charges are enclosed inside a spherical closed surface. The net flux through the surface is −216 N · m2/C. If two of the c
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

q₃ = -4.81 nC

Explanation:

We can use the Gauss Law here:

∅ = q/∈₀

where,

∅ = Net Flux = - 216 N.m²/C

q = total charge enclosed inside sphere = ?

∈₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C/N.m²

Therefore,

- 216 N.m²/C = q / 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/N.m²

q = (-216 N.m²/C)(8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/N.m²)

q = - 1.91 nC

So, the total charge will be sum of all three charges:

q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

- 1.91 nC = 1.74 nC + 1.16 nC + q₃

q₃ = - 1.91 nC - 1.74 nC - 1.16 nC

<u>q₃ = -4.81 nC</u>
