A magnetic compass is placed near an insulated copper wire. When the wire is connected to a battery and a current is created, th

e compass needle moves and changes its position. Which is the best explanation for the production of a force that causes the needle to move?
(1)The copper wire magnetizes the compass needle and exerts the force on the compass needle.
(2)The compass needle magnetizes the copper wire and exerts the force on the compass needle.
(3)The insulation on the wire becomes charged, which exerts the force on the compass needle.
(4)The current in the wire produces a magnetic field that exerts the force on the compass needle.

A vertical wire carries a current straight up in a region where the magnetic field vector points due north. What is the directio
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

If you place a glass cylinder in Wessin Oil, the view of the cylinder nearly disappeared when the eyedropper was full of Wessin
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index
