Answer:

False

Explanation:

The direction of magnetic field on a current carrying conductor can be determined by the Fleming's right hand rule where

The thumb represents the direction of motion
the index finger represents the direction of field.
The middle finger is the direction of induced current.

When two conductors carrying currents flowing in opposite direction, the magnetic field will be in the same direction hence they will repel.

<u><em>When the currents in them flow in same direction, then it means the magnetic field will be opposition and there will be a force of attraction between the conductors.</em></u>

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.

34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated ( $Q$ ), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time ( $\Delta t$ ), measured in hours. That is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (1)

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ and $\Delta t = 86400\,s$ , then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

$Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)$

$Q = 103680\,J$

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux ( $Q'$ ), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder ( $A$ ), measured in square meters:

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A}$ (2)

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h }$ (3)

Where:

$D$ - Diameter, measured in meters.

$h$ - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ , $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ and $h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m$ , the heat flux of the resistor is:

$Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }$

$Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}$

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces ( $r$ ), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A}$ (3)

If we know that $A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ and $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ , then the fraction is:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}$

$r = 0.045$

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.
