Answer:

Magnetic field, B = $1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T$ (eastwards)

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of electric field, E = 3.7 V/m

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. We need to find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this instant.

The relation between the magnetic field and the electric field of the plane electromagnetic wave is given by :

$B=\dfrac{E}{c}$

c is the speed of light

$B=\dfrac{3.7}{3\times10^8}\\\\B=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T$

So, the magnetic field is $1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T$ . The direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field and the direction of wave propagation. Hence, the direction of magnetic field is eastward.

Which of the following is responsible for keeping objects on the ground?

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Gravity. It is the pull we feel. Neither motion could happen nor mass could keep us on the ground without the existence of gravity.

One electron collides elastically with a second electron initially at rest. After the collision, the radii of their trajectories

morpeh [17]

Answer:

63.750KeV

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of second electron, $u_2=0$

Radius, $r_1=0$

$r_2=2.3 cm=\frac{2.3}{100}=0.023 m$

1 m=100 cm

Magnetic field,B=0.0370 T

We have to determine the energy of the incident electron.

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg$

Charge on an electron, $q=-1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Velocity, $v=\frac{Bqr}{m}$

Using the formula

Speed of electron, $v_1=\frac{Bqr_1}{m}=\frac{0.0370\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}=0$

Speed of second electron, $v_2=\frac{0.0370\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.023}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$v_2=1.5\times 10^8 m/s$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2_1+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_2$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $0+\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})(1.5\times 10^8)^2=1.02\times 10^{-14} J$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $\frac{1.02\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=63750eV=\frac{63750}{1000}=63.750KeV$

1KeV=1000eV

6. Two light bulbs are designed for use at 120 V and are rated at 75 W and 150 W. Which light bulb has the greater filament resi

Nonamiya [84]

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

P is power
R is resistance

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}$

Hence

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto V$

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto \dfrac{1}{P}$

Therefore if power is low then resistance will be high.

The first bulb has less power hence it has greater filament resistance.
