Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The core of an electromagnet serves to stabilize the magnetic field created by the wire. The thicker the core, the more metal there is to amplify the current. Therefore, a thicker core does make an electromagnet stronger. Hope this helps!
Answer:
a) P = 86720 N
b) L = 131.2983 mm
Explanation:
σ = 271 MPa = 271*10⁶ Pa
E = 119 GPa = 119*10⁹ Pa
A = 320 mm² = (320 mm²)(1 m² / 10⁶ mm²) = 3.2*10⁻⁴ m²
a) P = ?
We can apply the equation
σ = P / A ⇒ P = σ*A = (271*10⁶ Pa)(3.2*10⁻⁴ m²) = 86720 N
b) L₀ = 131 mm = 0.131 m
We can get ΔL applying the following formula (Hooke's Law):
ΔL = (P*L₀) / (A*E) ⇒ ΔL = (86720 N*0.131 m) / (3.2*10⁻⁴ m²*119*10⁹ Pa)
⇒ ΔL = 2.9832*10⁻⁴ m = 0.2983 mm
Finally we obtain
L = L₀ + ΔL = 131 mm + 0.2983 mm = 131.2983 mm
