Answer:

We sum the inverse of each resistance and then invert the sum.

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance in case of parallel combination of resistors is given by the formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}$

Here,

R is the equivalent resistance

$R_1\ and\ R_2$ are individual resistors that are connected in parallel

We can find the value of R as :

Firstly, we add the inverse of the individual resistances.
Secondly, we invert the sum that we get in above step.

So, the correct option is (a) "We sum the inverse of each resistance and then invert the sum".

I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 A distributed uniformly

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. $B= 9.45 \times10^{-3} T$

b. $B= 0.820 T$

c. $B= 0.0584 T$

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

$B=\frac{u_{0}I_{w}}{2\pi d_{1}} =\frac{52 \times4\pi \times10^{-7} }{2\pi 1.1 \times 10^{-3}} =9.45 \times10^{-3} T\\$

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

$J= \frac {-I_{c}}{\pi(c^{2}-b^{2} ) }}$

$J=\frac{-36}{\pi(5.33\times10^{-5}-1.16\times10^{-5}) } =-274.80\times10^{3} A/m^{2}$

$B=\frac{u_{0}(I_{w}-JA_{s})}{2\pi d_{2} } \\A_{s}=\pi (d_{2}^{2}-b^2)=4.40\times10^{-6} m^2\\$

$B=\frac{6.68\times10^{-5}}{8.14\times10^{-5}} =0.820 T$

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

$B=\frac{u_{0}(I_w-I_c)}{2\pi d_3 } =\frac{2.011\times10^-5}{3.441\times10^{-4}} =0.0584 T$

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity ofthe ball the instant befo

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s

This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass, fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.
