If the cross-sectional area of a wire is decreased while all other factors remain the same, how will the resistance change?

Physics
1 answer:
Nataly [62]2 years ago

Answer:

A. It will increase

Explanation:

Area of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the wire,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross-sectional area.

If A decreases, while ρ and L stay the same, then R will increase.

Use the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge to derive the equation for magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Sho
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The formula comes from Lorentz force law which includes both the electric and magnetic field. If the electric field is zero, the force law for just the magnetic field is <u>F=q(ν×B</u>) . Here, F  is force and is a vector because the force acts in a direction.  q  is the charge of the particle.  v  is velocity and is a vector because the particle is moving in some direction.  B is the magnetic flux density.

We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd.  Since the magnitude of B is constant at every line element of the loop (circle) and it dot product with the line element is B dl everywhere, therefore

                                                  ∮B dl=μ0 I

                                                  B ∮dl=μ0 I

                                                  B 2πr=μ0 I

                                                   B=μ02πr Id=μ0/4π I dl×rr3

Since, r can be written as r=(rcosθ,rsinθ,z) and dl as dl=(dl,0,0) And now, if we take the cross product we would get

                                               dl×r=−z dlj^+rsinθk^

and therefore the magnitude of dB is equal to

dB=μ0/4π I |dl×r|/r3=μ0/4π I z2+r2sin2θ−−−−−−−−−−√dl/r3

Thus, magnetic field is depending on r,θ,z.

Which prediction of weather is the most accurate for the next two days if there is an occluded front over the area?
alisha [4.7K]

The most accurate weather for the next two days would be dry warm weather or severe thunderstorms if there is an occluded front over the area.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The weather front that is created during the cyclogenesis process is an occluded front in meteorology. Cyclogenesis process is the development of extra-tropical cyclone and its intensification.

During the occurrence of this, the warm air is occluded (separated) from the center of cyclone at the surface of the earth.

The cold front rotates the storm as it intensifies and holds up the warm front. This develops an occluded front, that is the boundary which separates the new cold air mass and the older cool air mass that is already in warm front's north.

A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.
Kay [80]

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g=0.27\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm=8.5\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring  is given by

P.E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2

P.E=6.5025 J

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J

A train rolls past a stationary observer. To him, the train is moving at a speed of 23m/s west, and a woman on the train is movi
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

21.7 seconds.

Explanation:

Woman's velocity relative to train (23 m/s - 22.4 m/s) = 0.6 m/s

Distance woman wants to travel = 13m

To find how long she will take to move 13m relative to the train, take the distance she wants to travel divided by her velocity relative to the train.

(13m)/(0.6 m/s) = 21.6667 seconds or 21.7 seconds.  

Therefore, it will take the woman 21.7 seconds to move 13m.
