Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!

Two long parallel wires carry currents of 20 a and 5.0 a in opposite directions. the wires are separated by 0.20 m. what is the

Alex777 [14]

The two wires carry current in opposite directions: this means that if we see them from above, the magnetic field generated by one wire is clock-wise, while the magnetic field generated by the other wire is anti-clockwise. Therefore, if we take a point midway between the two wires, the resultant magnetic field at this point is just the sum of the two magnetic fields, since they act in the same direction.

Therefore, we should calculate the magnetic field generated by each wire and then calculate their sum. We are located at a distance r=0.10 m from each wire.

The magnetic field generated by wire 1 is:
$B_1= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(20 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 4 \cdot 10^{-5}T$

The magnetic field generated by wire 2 is:
$B_2= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(5.0 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T$

And so, the resultant magnetic field at the point midway between the two wires is
$B=B_1 + B_2 = 4 \cdot 10^{-5} T + 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T=5 \cdot 10^{-5} T$
