<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B) Electromagnets are powerful and can be turned on and off easily.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Electromagnets are made by winding a wire through a magnetic material such as soft iron core making a coil, and then passing electric current through the coil thus making the soft iron core magnetic.</u></em>

The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coils and also the size of the electric current through the coil.

<em><u>Its advantageous to use electromagnets as compared to using permanent magnets since they are powerful and can be turned on and off easily and also the strength of the electromagnet can be easily adjusted by regulating the amount of current flowing through the coils. </u></em>

An experiment is set up to test the angular resolution of an optical device when red light (wavelength ????r ) shines on an aper

Neko [114]

Explanation:

As per Rayleigh criterion, the angular resolution is given as follows:

$\theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D}$

From this expression larger the size of aperture, smaller will be the value of angular resolution and hence, better will be the device i.e. precision for distinguishing two points at very high angular difference is higher.

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?

OlgaM077 [116]

<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9) = 13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>

Trevor places a mass on a spring. When he releases it, the mass and spring move in simple harmonic motion.

777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is D He could pull the mass down farther.

Amplitude, is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. So to increase the amplitude the spring should be pulled down further which can increase the amplitude.
