Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>The direction of the force is towards the East.</em>

Explanation:

Using the right hand rule, the force on the current carrying conductor is east.

In the right hand rule, if the hand is held with the fingers pointed parallel to the palm representing the magnetic field, and the thumb held at right angle to the rest of the fingers representing the direction of the current, then the palm will push in the direction of the force.

In this case, the thumb is pointing downwards, with the fingers pointing north away from the body in the direction of the earth's magnetic field, the palm will push east.

____________ is the unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward through a conductor.
velikii [3]

Volt is the unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward through a conductor.

When there is a circuit having a cell / battery , that cell/battery forms an electric field due to difference in voltages , and set a voltage of value equals to the difference in the voltage of two end of that cell/ battery . Because of which a electric field got set up in the conductor , which pushes electron to move inside the conductor . Unit of voltage is volt .

VOLT - A unit of electrical pressure (or electromotive force) which causes current to flow in a circuit. One volt is the amount of pressure required to cause one ampere of current to flow against one ohm of resistance. VOLTAGE - That force which is generated to cause current to flow in an electrical circuit.

Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light. In brief, voltage = pressure, and it is measured in volts (V).

A thin-walled vessel of volume V contains N particles which slowly leak out of a small hole of area A. No particles enter the vo
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

    \frac{V}{2av}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Volume V

Contains N particles

Leaks from a small hole of area A

Generally the equation for Flow rate is given as

Volume Flow Rate  V_r = A * v

Mathematically we find the  time taken to flow half way which is given by

          \frac{(V/2)}{A*v}

Therefore the  time taken is

           \frac{V}{2av}

Answer:

t = 3w/gk

y = w²/gk²(2+e^-gkt/t)

Explanation:

The detailed step by step solution can be found in the attachment below.

Vt = W/k. It is the velocity of the body when the drag force = the weight of the particle.
