A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.4 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 120 A. (a) What is the mag

netic field in microteslas at the site of the compass due to the power line? (b) Will this field interfere seriously with the compass reading? The horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field at the site is 20 µT.

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between compass and the wire, r = 6.4 m

current in the wire, i = 120 A

(a)

The magnetic field due to the current carrying conductor is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\times \frac{2i}{r}

B = 10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times 120}{6.4}

B = 3.75 x 10^-6 Tesla

(b)

The magnetic field due to the earth is

B' = 20 micro Tesla = 20 x 10^-6 tesla

Yes, the magnetic filed due to current carrying wire interfere the magnetic compass.

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long current carrying conductor

μ₀ / 4π x 2i / r  ( i = current , r = distance of point from wire )

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 120 / 6.4  ( i = 120 A , r = 6.4m )

= 37.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .

= 3. 75 X 10⁻⁶ T .

= 3.75 µT.

b )

The direction of this field will be horizontal hence it will affect magnetic needle.

Explain how the planets in the solar system formed
Fed [463]
<span>So we want to know how did the planets form in the Solar system. So the current most accepted explanation is accretion. First the Sun formed, and what has left was a disk made out of gas and dust which later formed the planets trough attractive gravitational force.</span>

A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 12 meters before it slows, stops, and begins to roll back. The ball rolls downhill 20 mete
Sedaia [141]
The ball rolled a distance of
d = 12m + 20m.
But the change of position is
