Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces acting on a conductor carrying current placed in a magnetic field is analysed using the Fleming's left hand rule.

The rule states that "If the fire finger, the middle finger and the thumb are held mutually perpendicular to one another in a magnetic field, the fore finger acts in the direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger acts on the direction of the current while the thumb acts in the direction of the force.

Based on the rule, it can be inferred this current carrying wire placed in the magnetic field acts perpendicular to the magnetic field and force acting on the wire.

Answer:

The force that a particle of charge q and velocity v experiences when entering an electromagnetic field is:

F = q*(E + vxB)

Where E is the electric field and B is the magnetic field, here we only care for the magnetic field.

From this, we can see that the magnetic force will be perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field, and knowing that in a cable the electrons flow along the wire, we have that the force must be perpendicular to the wire and also to the magnetic field in where the wire is.

Answer:

Conduction, convection, and radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the process in which energy is transferred from a hot body to a cooler body. Convection is a process by which heat is transferred as a result of the movement of heated fluid in the form of air or water. Radiation refers to the transmission of energy through a material medium.

Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of conduction, convection, and radiation.

seropon [69]

Answer:

This material exhibits paramagnetism.

Explanation:

A paramagnetic material has these features: It doesn’t have any magnetic properties when placed in an external magnetic field, it gains and then loses the magnetic property as the external field is removed.

Such materials have magnetic moments oriented in random directions, thus making the net magnetic moment, zero. But when placed in an external field, they do possess a net magnetic moment. When the magnetic field is removed, they lose the magnetic property.

Thus, the material which produces no initial magnetic field when placed in a uniform magnetic field produces an additional internal magnetic field parallel to the original field. Also, it loses the magnetic properties as soon as the external magnetic field is removed. Then, the magnetism the material exhibits is paramagnetic.
