Answer:

a) v    r = 0.7318 cm , b)  r = 7.23 cm

Explanation:

The magnetic field generated by a wire carrying a current can be found with Ampere's law

       ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

the length of a surface circulates around the wire is

    s = 2π r

where r is the point of interest of the calculation of the magnetic field

         B = μ₀ I / 2π r

In this exercise we have two wires, write the equation of the magnetic field of each one

wire 1     I = 5.8 A

         B₁ = μ₀ 5,8 / 2π r₁

wire 2    I = 3.0 A

         B₂ = μ₀ 3/2π r₂

the direction of the field is given by the rule of the right hand, the thumb indicates the direction of the current and the other fingers the direction of the magnetic field

Let's apply these expressions to our case

a) the two streams go in the same direction

     using the right hand rule for each wire we see that between the two wires the magnetic fields have opposite directions so there is some point where the total value is zero

          B₁ - B₂ = 0

           B₁ = B₂

         μ₀ 5,8 / 2π r₁ = μ₀ 3 / 2π r₂

          5.8 / r₁ = 3 / r₂

          5.8 r₂ = 3r₁

the value of r is measured from each wire, therefore

        r₁ = 2.3 + r

        r₂ = 2.3 -r

we substitute

          5.8 (2.3 - r) = 3 (2.3 + r)

           r (3 + 5.8) = 2.3 (5.8 - 3)

           r = 2.3 2.8 / 8.8

           r = 0.7318 cm

b) the two currents have directional opposite

with the right hand rule in the field you have opposite directions outside the wires

suppose it is zero on the right side where the wire with the lowest current is

         B₁ = B₂

        5.8 / r₁ = 3 / r₂

        5.8 r₂ = 3 r₁

         r₁ = 2.3 + r

         r₂ = r - 2.3

        5.8 (r - 2.3) = 3 (2.3 + r)

        r (5.8 -3) = 2.3 (3 + 5.8)

        r = 2.3 8.8 / 2.8

        r = 7.23 cm

How much energy is stored in a 2.80-cm-diameter, 14.0-cm-long solenoid that has 200 turns of wire and carries a current of 0.800
ozzi

Answer:

The energy stored in the solenoid is 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the solenoid, d = 2.80 cm

radius of the solenoid, r = d/2 = 1.4 cm

length of the solenoid, L = 14 cm = 0.14 m

number of turns, N = 200 turns

current in the solenoid, I = 0.8 A

The cross sectional area of the solenoid is given as;

A = \pi r^2\\\\A = \pi (0.014)^2\\\\A = 6.16*10^{-4} \ m^2

The inductance of the solenoid is given by;

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2A}{l} \\\\L =  \frac{(4\pi*10^{-7})(200^2)(6.16*10^{-4})}{0.14}\\\\L = 2.212*10^{-4} \ H

The energy stored in the solenoid is given by;

E = ¹/₂LI²

E = ¹/₂(2.212 x 10⁻⁴)(0.8)²

E = 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the energy stored in the solenoid is 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the
Zina [86]
The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where 
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
\Delta h is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.

Explain briefly why metals are good conductors of electric current
Mice21 [21]
The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, all while receiving and losing electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity. Example: copper is a great conductor of electric current.

Water in a tank is pressurized by air and pressure measured using a multi-fluid manometer. Determine the gage pressure of air in
sattari [20]

Answer:

The gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure, P_{atm} = 101 Kpa

P_{gauge} + \rho_w gh_1 + \rho_o gh_2 -\rho_{Hg} gh_3 =P_{atm}

P_{gauge}  = P_{atm} - \rho_w gh_1 - \rho_o gh_2 +\rho_{Hg} gh_3

where;

ρw is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ρo is the density of oil = 800 kg/m³

ρHg is the density of mercury = 13,600 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

P_{gauge}  = 101,000 - (1000* 9.8*0.2) - (800* 9.8*0.3) +(13,600* 9.8*0.46)\\\\P_{gauge}  = 101,000 - 1960 - 2352 + 13610.26\\\\P_{gauge}  = 110,298.26 pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa
