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

The graph shows the range of frequencies commonly heard by some animals.
Vsevolod [243]

Concept:

Frequency- It is defined as the number of oscillations occur in one second.

Its SI unit is Hertz (Hz)

Given: Produced sound vibrations is 18,500 cycles in 0.75 seconds

∵ In 0.75 second, produced sound has oscillations = 18,500 cycles

∴ In 1.0 second, produced sound has oscillations = (18,500 ÷ 0.75) Hz

The frequency of the sound will be ≈ 24,667 Hz

From the study of the given graph, only the animals (c) Cats, (b) Moths and (a) Bats can hear the produced sound because their upper audible frequency range is greater than 24,667 Hz.

Answer:

-2040 m/s²

Explanation:

Taking toward the wall to be positive, the initial velocity is 10.1 m/s and the final velocity is -8.3426 m/s.

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (-8.3426 m/s − 10.1 m/s) / 0.00905 s

a = -2040 m/s²

A shearing of 50N is applied to an aluminum rod with a length of 10m a cross sectional area of 1.0×10-5 and a shear modulus of 2
slega [8]

Answer:

0.002 m or 2 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Force, F = 50N

Area = 1 * 10^-5

Length, L = 10m

Shear modulus, = 2.5 * 10^10

Using the relation ;

D = (50 ÷ 1*10^-5) ÷ (2.5 * 10^10 ÷ 10)

D = 5000000 ÷ 2.5 * 10^9

D = 5 * 10^6 ÷ 2.5 * 10^9

D = (5/2.5) * 10^(6-9)

D = 2 * 10^-3

D = 0.002 m

1m = 1000 mm

0.002m = (1000 * 0.002) = 2 mm
