Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field $\vec{B}$ then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

$\tau = m\times B$

$\tau=mBsin\alpha$

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

$U=\int \tau d\alpha$

$U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha$

$U= -mBcos\alpha$

$U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}$

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.

Which explains why a gas does not have a fixed shape?

mafiozo [28]

A gas doesn't have a fixed shape because the amount of space between the molecules in gas can change easily. B. the particles are not compressible

A 10-foot ladder is leaning straight up against a wall when a person begins pulling the base of the ladder away from the wall at

docker41 [41]

Answer:

$y = 4.36$

Explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be L

$L = 10$

Also:

Let $x = distance\ from\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder$

Let $y = height\ of\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder$

When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a triangle and the length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse.

So, we have:

$L^2 = x^2 + y^2$ --- Pythagoras Theorem

When the base is 9ft from the wall, this means that:

$x = 9$

Substitute 9 for x and 10 for L in $L^2 = x^2 + y^2$

$10^2 = 9^2 + y^2$

$100 = 81 + y^2$

Make $y^2$ the subject

$y^2 = 100 - 81$

$y^2 = 19$

Make y the subject

$y = \sqrt{19$

$y = 4.36$

<em>Hence, the true distance at that point is approximately 4.36ft</em>

The amount of energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom is a quantity called the ionization energy, Ei. This energy ca

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The value is $E_i = 1.5596 *10^{-18} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 48.2 nm = 48.2 *10^{- 9 }\ m$

The velocity is $v = 2.371*10^6 \ m/s$

The mass of electron is $m_e = 9.109*10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally the energy of the incident light is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h * c}{\lambda}$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

h is the Planck constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34 } J\cdot s$

So

$E = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34 }* 3.0 *10^{8}}{48.2 *10^{- 9 }}$

=> $E = 4.12 *10^{-18} \ J$

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} * m_e * v^2$

=> $E_k = \frac{1}{2} * 9.109*10^{-31} * (2.371*10^6 )^2$

=> $E_k = 2.56 *0^{-18} \ J$

Generally the ionization energy is mathematically represented as

$E_i = 4.12 *10^{-18} - 2.56 *0^{-18}$

=> $E_i = 1.5596 *10^{-18} \ J$
