Answer:

Saturated zone is area below the water table in which the soil is completely saturated with groundwater.

Explanation:

The saturated zone lies below the ground. It is mainly the lower zone of rock along with the water table where pore spaces are completely filled with water. Even the saturated zone is sometimes separated into 2 subzones: the phreatic zone and the capillary fringe.

The area where pores spaces are not saturated with water is also unsaturated zone. Localized saturated zones can occur within the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone lies above the groundwater table.

VLD [36.1K]

The pulse site located at the point where the upper leg bends is called the femoral. It is an artery found in the thigh. It is large and is deemed as the main arterial supply for the lower part of the body. It is known as the second artery that is the largest. It is being used as the catheter access artery. From it, diagnostics for the heart, brain, arms, kidney and other parts can be directed to the other arterial system. It can also be used as a source to draw blood that is from the arteries when there is low blood pressure.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be $\large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T$ , '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field ( $\large{\overrightarrow{B}}$ ) at a distance ' $r$ ' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current ' $I$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}$

where ' $\overrightarrow{dl}$ ' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current ' $I$ ', at a distance ' $d$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}$

According to the figure if ' $I_{t}$ ' be the current carried by the top wire, ' $I_{b}$ ' be the current carried by the bottom wire and ' $2d$ ' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the $\bigotimes$ symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by $\bigodot$ symbol.
