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

For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?
avanturin [10]

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is:  The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

An electric wheel chair is designed to run on a single 12-V battery rated to provide 100 ampere-hours. How much energy is stored
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 12 V

Current, I = 100 ampere-hours

Energy stored is given by the product of power and time taken. So,

E=P\times t

P is the power, P=V\times I

P=12\times 100

P = 1200 watts

This power can be used for 1 hour or 3600 seconds

Energy, E=1200\times 3600

E = 4320000 J

So, the energy stored in this battery is 4320000 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
