Two solenoids of equal length are each made of 2000 turns of copper wire per meter. Solenoid I has a 5.00 cm radius; solenoid II

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

BI/BII = 1

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to a solenoid is given by the following formula:

$B = \mu nI\\$

where,

B = Magnetic Field due to solenoid

μ = permeability of free space

n = No. of turns per unit length

I = current passing through the solenoid

Now for the first solenoid:

$B_1 = \mu n_1I_1 \\$

For the second solenoid:

$B_2 = \mu n_2I_2\\$

Dividing both equations:

$\frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{\mu n_1I_1}{\mu n_2I_2}\\$

here, no. of turns and the current passing through each solenoid is same:

n₁ = n₂ and I₁ = I₂

Therefore,

$\frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{\mu nI}{\mu nI}\\$

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’

scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

$\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}$

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

$F=qvBsin\theta$

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have $\theta=90^\circ$ . Replacing the given values, we obtain:

$F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N$

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

$\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}$

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house $=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}$

=42 mph

On return trip

$=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph$
