How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter

action depend on the relative orientation of the wire and the compass needle? Does the interaction depend on the location of the needle relative to the wire? Does the interaction depend on the distance between the wire and the needle?

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.

Sati [7]

Answer:

1.549 m

Explanation:

Given:

The radius of the circular board, r = 2 m

The probability of hitting the red is given as 0.6

Now, this probability of hitting the red can be conclude as

0.6 = (Area of red)/ (Total area of the board)

Total area of the board = πr² = π × 2²

let the radius of the red area be R

thus, area of red circle, = πR²

on substituting the value of the area, we have

0.6 = (πR²)/ (π × 2²)

or

R² = 2.4

or

R = 1.549 m

Thus, the radius of the red circle is 1.549 m

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

The density of a material in CGS system of units is 4g cm-³. In a system of units in which unit of length is 10 cm and unit of m
butalik [34]

\sf\underline{Solution:}

Here , the density of the material is 4g cm³ but it is not given in CGS system.

$\sf{As\:we\:know\:that:}$

$\sf\bold{Density=}$ $\sf\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}$

$\space$

\sf{Now,according \: to \:the\:question:}

$\sf\small{Density\:of\:the\:material=4}$ $\sf\dfrac{g}{cm^2}$

$\space$

$\sf{It\:is\:given\:that:}$

In the system of units the mass is 100gram.

$\space$

Hence,

$\sf{The\:mass\:unit\:for\:4g=}$ $\sf\dfrac{4}{100}$ $\sf{units}$

$\space$

In the system of units,the length is 10cm.

Henceforth,

$\sf\small{The\:length \:for\:1cm\:units=}$ $\sf\dfrac{1}{10}$ $\sf{units}$

$\space$

<u>☆</u><u> </u><u>Substitute</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>required</u><u> </u><u>values</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>given</u><u> </u><u>formula</u><u>-</u>

$\sf\purple{Density=}$ $\sf\dfrac\purple{Mass}\purple{volume}$

$\space$

$\sf\underline\bold{Density\:of\:the\:material:}$

= $\sf\dfrac{4/100}{1/10^3}$ $\sf\bold{units}$

$\space$

= $\sf\dfrac{4/100}{1/1000}$ $\sf\bold{units}$

$\space$

= $\sf\dfrac{4000}{100}$ $\sf\bold{units}$

$\space$

$\sf\underline\bold\blue{=40\:units}$

$\sf\small{Therefore,option\:2nd\:is\:correct!}$

What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface.
