Answer: F = 2.1 x 10^-4N

Explanation: Question is incomplete.

The complete question is; A straight, 2.5-m wire carries a typical household current of 1.5 A (in one direction) at a location where the earth’s magnetic field is 0.55 gauss from south to north. Find the magnitude and direction of the force that our planet’s magnetic field exerts on this wire if it is oriented so that the current in it is running (a) from west to east.

Given parameters; l = 2.5m, I = 1.5A, B = 0.55 guass = 0.55 x 10^-4 Tesla , theta = 90 (from West to East), F = ?

F = BILsin(theta)

F = 0.55 x 10^-4 x 1.5 x 2.5 x sin 90

F = 2.1 x 10^-4 N.

According to right hand rule, it's direction is upward.

It will be unaffected by the magnet because it has no magnetic field. If you were to maybe have electricity going through it is the only way it would have anything to do with the magnet.

The generator at a power plant produces AC at 20,000 V. A transformer steps this up to 355,000 V for transmission over power lin
Masja [62]

Answer:

Number of coil in the output is 39938

Explanation:

We have given a step up transformer

Input voltage of transformer, that is primary voltage v_p=20000volt

Output voltage, that is secondary voltage v_s=355000volt

Number of turns in primary N_p=2250

For transformer we know that \frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

\frac{20000}{355000}=\frac{2250}{N_s}

N_s=39937.5

As the number of turns can not be in fraction so number of turns in the output coil is 39938
