Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)

Currents during lightning strikes can be up to 50000 A (or more!). We can model such a strike as a 49500 A vertical current perp

Tema [17]

Answer:

59.4 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on a current-carrying wire due to a magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is given by

$F=ILB$

where

I is the current in the wire

L is the length of the wire

B is the strength of the magnetic field

Here in this problem, we model the strike as a current-carrying wire, so we have:

I = 49,500 A is the current

L = 1 m is the length (we want to find the force per each meter of length)

$B=12 G = 12\cdot 10^{-4} T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

Therefore, the force on each meter of the current due to the magnetic field is:

$F=(49,500)(1)(12\cdot 10^{-4})=59.4 N$
