Given Information:

Current due to Lightning bolt = I₁ = 20 kA

Current of household = I₂ = 10 A

Distance = r₁ = 4.9 m

Distance = r₂ = 4.9 cm = 0.049 m

Required Information:

a) Magnetic field due Lightning bolt = B₁ = ?

b) Magnetic field due to household current = B₂ = ?

Answer:

a) Magnetic field due Lightning bolt = B₁ = 8.16×10⁻⁴ T

b) Magnetic field due to household current = B₂ = 4.08×10⁻⁵ T

B₁ = 20B₂

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced in a long straight wire carrying a current (I) at distance r is given by  

B = μ₀I/2πr  

Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space and its value is 4π×10⁻⁷

a) The magnetic field produced due to the lightning bolt current is

B₁ = μ₀I₁/2πr₁

B₁ = (4π×10⁻⁷*20,000)/2π*4.9

B₁ = 0.000816

B₁ = 8.16×10⁻⁴ T

Therefore, the strength of magnetic field due to the lightning bolt current is 8.16×10⁻⁴ T

b) The magnetic field produced due to the household current is

B₂ = μ₀I₂/2πr₂

B₂ = (4π×10⁻⁷*10)/2π*0.049

B₂ = 0.00004081

B₂ = 4.08×10⁻⁵ T

Therefore, the strength of magnetic field due to the household current is 4.08×10⁻⁵ T

The ratio of magnetic field produced by the lightning bolt current to the magnetic field produced by the household current is

B₁/B₂ = 8.16×10⁻⁴/4.08×10⁻⁵

B₁/B₂ = 20

B₁ = 20B₂

Which means that the magnetic field produced by the lightning bolt current is 20 time greater than the magnetic field produced by the household current.

weeeeeb [17]
Yes. Power will decrease.

'cause Power = Work / time
So, power is indirectly proportional to time so, when one increases other would decrease

Hope this helps!

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const
polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
brilliants [131]

Answer:

P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

Explanation:

What the equation means is that if you double the current you end up with 4 times the power loss. It's like the area of carpet you need for a room - if you make the room twice as long and twice as wide you need 4x as much carpet. The physical explanation is that the voltage difference along a wire depends on the current - more current flowing with a resistance means more voltage (pressure of electricity if you like) is built up.

This extra voltage means more power. So if you double the current your would double the power, but you also double the voltage which doubles the power again = 4x as much power. P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

I hope this helps you out, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

Answer:

d = 421.83 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height, h = 396.9 m

Horizontal speed, v = 46.87 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the ball horizontally. Let t is the time taken by the ball. Using second equation of motion for vertical direction. So,

396.9=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2\\\\t=9\ s

Now d is the distance covered by the cannonball. So,

d=vt\\\\d=46.87\times 9\\\\d=421.83\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
