To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the thermal efficiency given in an engine of the Carnot cycle. Here we know that efficiency is given under the equation

$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}$

Where,

$T_2 =$ Temperature of Cold Body

$T_1 =$ Temperature of Hot Body

$\eta$ = Efficiency

According to the statement our values are:

$\eta = 0.3$

$T_2 = 210K$

Replacing we have that

$0.3 = 1- \frac{210}{T_1}$

$\frac{210}{T_1} = 0.7$

$T_1 = \frac{210}{0.7}$

$T_1 = 300K$

Therefore the temperature of the heat source is 300K

The electric field in a region of space increases from 0 to 2150 N/C in 5.00 s. What is the magnitude of the induced magnetic fi

Feliz [49]

To solve this problem we will use the Ampere-Maxwell law, which describes the magnetic fields that result from a transmitter wire or loop in electromagnetic surveys. According to Ampere-Maxwell law:

$\oint \vec{B}\vec{dl} = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}$

Where,

B= Magnetic Field

l = length

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity

Since the change in length (dl) by which the magnetic field moves is equivalent to the perimeter of the circumference and that the electric flow is the rate of change of the electric field by the area, we have to

$B(2\pi r) = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d(EA)}{dt}$

Recall that the speed of light is equivalent to

$c^2 = \frac{1}{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}$

Then replacing,

$B(2\pi r) = \frac{1}{C^2} (\pi r^2) \frac{d(E)}{dt}$

$B = \frac{r}{2C^2} \frac{dE}{dt}$

Our values are given as

$dE = 2150N/C$

$dt = 5s$

$C = 3*10^8m/s$

$D = 0.440m \rightarrow r = 0.220m$

Replacing we have,

$B = \frac{r}{2C^2} \frac{dE}{dt}$

$B = \frac{0.220}{2(3*10^8)^2} \frac{2150}{5}$

$B =5.25*10^{-16}T$

Therefore the magnetic field around this circular area is $B =5.25*10^{-16}T$

What happens whenever energy is transformed from one form to another?

andriy [413]

Answer:

Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy. While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
