Suppose the Helmholtz coil in this experiment is arranged to produce a magnetic field that points east. The current through the
coils is 11.5 mA. With the current off, the red needle of the compass points at zero degrees on the compass' bezel. At what angle will the compass needle rotate through when current is turned on and left on for a several seconds? Assume the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is 0.24 G and recall the constant k = 17.0 G/A.

Answer:
<u>Part A</u>
I = 1.4 mW/m²
<u>Part B</u>
β = 91.46 dB
Explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.
For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;
Where;
P is the source of power in watts (W)
I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)
r is the distance r away
Given:
P = 34 W,
A = 1.0 cm²
r = 44 m
The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;
I = 0.0013975 W/m²
≈ I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²
I = 1.4 mW/m²
The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².
<u>Part B</u>
Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value. It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.
Sound intensity level is calculated as;
β dB
Where,
β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)
I is the sound intensity;
I₀ is the reference sound intensity;
By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²
∴ β
β
β = 91.46 dB
The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.
