<u>Answer</u>

3.7 Km south

<u>Explanation</u>

The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.

Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).

Now lets add the two values.

(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4

= - 3.7 Km But negative was towards south.

∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.

Compared to the weak nuclear force the electromagnetic force

Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

Weak nuclear force:

The interaction between the subatomic particles is called weak nuclear force.

The weak nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The weak nuclear force is effective at very short distance.

The range and relative strength of weak nuclear force is 10⁻¹⁸ m and 10²⁵ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Deuterium is formed due to the fusion of protons and neutrons under the action the weak force.

Example : Beta decay

Electromagnetic force:

The interaction between the charged particles is called electromagnetic force.

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The electromagnetic force is effective at long range distance.

The range and relative strength of electromagnetic force is infinity and 10³⁶ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Example : light

A certain lightning bolt moves 10.0 C of charge. How many charges have been moved if the fundamental unit of charge is 1.6 x 10-

Andrej [43]

To solve this problem, use the ratio given by the total number of electrons or protons that exist as a function of the total charge, and inversely proportional to the value of the fundamental charge. The number of fundamental unit $|q_e|$ that constitutes a charge of 40.0C can be calculated as

$N = \frac{|Q|}{|q_e|}$

Here,

$q_e$ = Value of charge and it is the fundamental charge

Q = Total Charge

N = Total number of electron or protons

The number of fundamental units is calculated as follows

$N = \frac{10.0C}{1.6*10^{-19}C}$

$N = 6.25*10^{19}$

Therefore the number of fundamental charge units moved by lightning bolt is $6.25*10^{19}$

A small loop of area A = 5.5 mm2 is inside a long solenoid that has n = 919 turns/cm and carries a sinusoidally varying current

Tema [17]

Answer: $410.90\times 10^{-6} V$

Explanation:

Given

$A=5.5 mm^2$

$n=919 turns/cm\approx 85400 turns/m$

$\omega =226 rad/s$

According to the Faraday law of induction, induced emf is given by

$E=-\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi _B}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Magnetic field $\phi _B=B\cdot A$

$B=\mu _0ni=\mu _0ni_osin\left ( \omega t\right )$

$B=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 85400\times 3.08\times \sin (226t)$

$B=0.3305\sin (226t)$

$\phi _{B}=0.3305\times \sin (226t)\times 5.5\times 10^{-6}$

$\phi _{B}=1.818\times 10^{-6}\sin (226t)$

$E=-\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi _B}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$E=-1.818\times 10^{-6}\times 226\cos (226t)$

$E=-410.90\times 10^{-6}\cos (226t)$

Amplitude of EMF induced $=410.90\times 10^{-6} V$
