Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.6 cm apart. They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point

halfway between them has magnitude 370 µT. (a) Should the currents be in the same or opposite directions? (b) How much current is needed?

Answer:

(a) The current should be in opposite direction

(b) The current needed is 39.8 A

Explanation:

Part (a)

Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction

Part (b)

given;

strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT

distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}

At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice

B_c = 2(\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}) =\frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}

R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

B_c = \frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}\\\\I = \frac{B_c\pi R}{\mu_o} = \frac{370 *10^{-6}* \pi *0.043}{4\pi *10^{-7}}\\\\I = 39.8 \ A

Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A

The mechanical energy at top =Mechanical energy at bottom

  • Mass=m=54kg
  • Height=h=51m
  • Acceleration due to gravity=g=10m/s^2
  • Velocity=v=2.6m/s

An unnamed professor is walking to class when an office chair (travelling in the same direction) collides with them. The profess
ololo11 [35]

Answer: 1.96 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of Professor m_1=113\ kg

Velocity of professor u_1=1.56\ m/s

mass of chair m_2=10\ kg

velocity of chair u_2=6.5\ m/s

Suppose  after the collision, v is the common velocity

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{113\times 1.56+10\times 6.5}{113+10}=\dfrac{241.28}{123}\\\\\Rightarrow v=1.96\ m/s
