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

<em>The advantage of using electromagnet over a regular magnet is that </em><u><em>the magnetic field or the strength of the magnet can be quickly adjusted by controlling the amount of electric current in the coil.</em></u>

<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>
  • <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>
  • Permanent magnets on the other hand do not require power but depends on the type of material used to make it.
  • Therefore,<em><u> its advantageous to use electromagnets as compared to using permanent magnets since the strength of the electromagnet can be easily adjusted by regulating the amount of current flowing through the coils.</u></em> Thus, the electromagnet can be adjusted for have different levels of magnetic fields.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A. We have that radius r = 4.00m intensity I = 8.00 W/m^

total power = power/ Area ( 4πr2)= 8.00 w/m^2( 4π ( 4.00 m)2=1607.68 W

b) I = total power/ 4πr2= 8.00 W/m2 ( 4.00 m/ 9.5 m)2= 1.418 W/m2

c) E = total power x time= 1607 . 68 W x 1s= 1607.68 J

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

The length of a football field is closest to<br> (1) 1000 cm (3) 1000 km<br> (2) 1000 dm (4) 1000 mm
Sergeu [11.5K]

For this case, the first thing you should know is that the length of a football field is around 100 meters.

We must then look for a measure close to this value.

We have the following unit conversion:

1 meter = 10 decimeters

Applying the conversion we have:

(1000 dm)*(\frac{1}{10} \frac{m}{dm}) = 100 m

Therefore, the measure closest to a soccer field is:

1000 dm

Answer:

The length of a football field is closest to:

(2) 1000 dm
