Tell how electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves

Physics
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
3 0
<span>Electromagnetic and mechanical waves differ in that electromagnetic waves are always longitudinal and do not require a known medium, while mechanical waves are either longitudinal or compression waves and require a medium. All known electromagnetic waves are also known as forms of light.</span>

If 12V battery maintains a 4.5A current through a resistor what is the resistance of the resistor?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery  = 12V

Current  = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor  = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

          V  = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

  So;

        R  = \frac{V}{I}   = \frac{12}{4.5}    = 2.7ohms

Suppose that the current in the solenoid is i(t). The self-inductance L is related to the self-induced EMF E(t) by the equation
Artemon [7]

Answer:

L =   μ₀ n r / 2I

Explanation:

This exercise we must relate several equations, let's start writing the voltage in a coil

        E_{L} = - L dI / dt

 

Let's use Faraday's law

       E = - d Ф_B / dt

in the case of the coil this voltage is the same, so we can equal the two relationships

        - d Ф_B / dt = - L dI / dt

The magnetic flux is the sum of the flux in each turn, if there are n turns in the coil

        n d Ф_B = L dI

we can remove the differentials

      n Ф_B = L I

magnetic flux is defined by

     Ф_B = B . A

in this case the direction of the magnetic field is along the coil and the normal direction to the area as well, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

      n B A = L I

the loop area is

      A = π R²

     

we substitute

       n B π R² = L I                    (1)

To find the magnetic field in the coil let's use Ampere's law

        ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

where B is the magnetic field and s is the current circulation, in the coil the current circulates along the length of the coil

           s = 2π R

we solve

              B 2ππ R =  μ₀ I

              B =  μ₀ I / 2πR

we substitute in

       n ( μ₀ I / 2πR) π R² = L I

       n  μ₀ R / 2 = L I

       L =   μ₀ n r / 2I

According to the quantum theory of radiation,
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

According to quantum theory of radiation electromagnetic field or electromagnetic  radiation( like light) produce by accelerated charge object and the quantum of EM radiations is photon which has discrete energy. So, EM field can have only certain values of total energy and no other value due the discrete nature of the energy of photon. Hence option B is correct

On May 26, 1934, a streamlined, stainless steel diesel train called the Zephyr set the world’s nonstop long-distance speed recor
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

124.88 km/h

34.69 m/s

Explanation:

1633.8 km = 1633800 m

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13 + 4/60 + 58/3600 = 13.083 hours

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13*3600 + 4*60 + 58 = 47098 seconds

So the average speed in km/h is

1633.8 / 13.083 = 124.88 km/h

The average speed in m/s is

1633800 / 47098 = 34.69 m/s
