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

Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

___ devices need constant power to operate. The timing functions are initiated by the presence or absence of a separate ""trigge
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Solid-state

Explanation:

A solid-state device can be defined as a crystalline material that is typically made up of semiconductor and as such controls the number and rate of flow of charged carriers such as holes or electrons.

Some examples of a solid-state device are light emitting diodes (LED), integrated circuit (IC), Transistors, liquid crystal display (LCD) etc.

A solid-state device such as a transistor, refers to a semiconductor component that is used to control the flow of voltage or current and as a gate (switch) for electronic signals. Thus, a transistor allows for the amplification, control and generation of electronic signals in a circuit.

Hence, solid-state devices need constant power to operate. The timing functions are initiated by the presence or absence of a separate "trigger" signal.

Basically, these solid-state devices use the optical and electrical properties of semiconductor components such as transistors, triacs, thyristors, diodes to perform its input-output switching and isolation functions.
