Answer:

5 billion years

Explanation:

A star like the Sun is called a main sequence star. It is considered as young age star. Sun is a medium sized star and its mass determines how long it can continue in its present form.

Its heat and light are a result of the thermonuclear fusion reactions that occur in its core. The proton cycle and carbon cycle are responsible for generating the immense energy which is released in the form of heat and light. The amount of nuclear fuel ( hydrogen helium) present in the sun indicate that it can continue glowing at this state for another 5 or 5.5 billion years more. Sun formed abut 4.6 or 5 billion years ago, as shown from the calculations.

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field 2.0 m from a long wire that is charged uniformly at λ = 4.0 × 10-6 C

Len [333]

Answer: 71.93 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric field from long wire we have to use the Gaussian law, this is:

∫E*dr=Q inside/εo Q inside is given by: λ*L then,

E*2*π*r*L=λ*L/εo

E= λ/(2*π*εo*r)= 4* 10^-6/(2*3.1415*8.85*10^-12*2 )= 71.93 * 10^3 N/C

An alternating source drives a series RLC circuit with an emf amplitude of 6.04 V, at a phase angle of +30.3°. When the potentia

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

-8.56V

Explanation:

Our values are given by,

e = 6.04 V

Φ = 30.3

VC = 5.32

We can calculate the voltage across the circuit with the emf formula, that is,

$e(t) = e* sin(wt)$

$e(t) = 6.04 * sin(Φ + π)$

$e(t) = 6.04 * sin(32.5 + 180)$

$e(t) = -3.245 V$

Now, Using Kirchoff Voltage Law,

$e(t) - VR- VL - VC = 0$

$-3.24 - 0 - VL - 5.32 = 0$

Finally we have the potential difference across the inductor.

$VL = - 8.56 v$

If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f

Anna007 [38]

(1) Doubling of the current through the wire will result in doubling of its magnetic field.

The magnetic field around a wire is a function of the current I and radial distance r

$B = \frac{\mu\cdot I }{2\pi r}$

(with mu denoting the magnetic permeability of the medium). So, B is directly proportional to I. The field magnitude will double with the doubled current from 5A to 10A

(2) Using the same formula as in (1), we can see that the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radial distance from the wire. So, a particle at 20cm will experience half the magnitude compared to a particle at 10cm.

(3) Answer

If a particle with a charge q moves through a magnetic field B with velocity v, it will be acted on by the magnetic force

$F_m = B\cdot v\cdot q$

So, a particle with charge -2uC will experience a magnetic force of same magnitude but opposite direction (and perpendicular to B) as compared to a particle with a charge of 2uC
