How does wire thickness affect the power of the electromagnet?

Physics
1 answer:

It does not depend on the thickness of the wire. Well, not directly.

As steveastrouk wrote, the magnetic field depends on the current through the wire and how often the wire goes around the core - the number of loops.

If you use a thinner wire, you can wrap more turns into a given space. Good for the magnetic field!  But...

A thinner wire means more resistance. More turns mean a longer wire and that means even more resistance.  More resistance means that a given voltage can drive less current through the wire. Less current means a lower magnetic field.

If and when the two effects cancel each other, well that's what math is for.

(Of course you could increase the voltage to keep the current in the thinner wire the same as in the thicker wire, but that would increase the thermal losses in the wire as well.)

The outer layer of cable on a cable reel is 16.2 cm from the center of the reel. The reel is initially stationary and can rotate
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. w=12.68rad/s

C. α=3.52rad/s^2

Explanation:

B)

We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)

\theta=\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}\\\theta = \frac{s}{r}      ( 1 )

where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.

In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have

\theta=\frac{3.7m}{0.162m}=22.83rad

22.83rad=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (3.6s)^2\\\\\alpha=2\frac{(22.83rad)}{3.6^2s}=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}

to calculate the angular speed w we can use\alpha=\frac{\omega _{f}-\omega _{i}}{t _{f}-t _{i}}\\\\\omega_{f}=\alpha t_{f}=(3.52\frac{rad}{s^2})(3.6)=12.68\frac{rad}{s}

Thus, wf=12.68rad/s

C) We can use our result in B)

\alpha=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}

I hope this is useful for you

Explain how fluids exert pressure
Veseljchak [2.6K]
In a fluid, all the forces exerted by the individual particles combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid 
Due to fundamental nature of fluids, a fluid cannot remain at rest under the presence of shear stress. However, fluids can exert pressure normal to any contacting surface. If a point in the fluid is thought of as a small cube, then it follows from the principles of equilibrium that the pressure on every side of this unit of fluid must be equal. but if this were not a case, the fluid would move in the directions of the resulting force, So the pressure on a fluid at rest is isotropic.
