A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th

e presence of a uniform magnetic field, perpendicular to the current. There is a magnetic force per unit length on the rod of 0.113 N/m in the −y-direction.
(a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field (in mT) in the region through which the current passes?
(b) What is the direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes?

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).

Which of these processes are chemical reactions
White raven [17]

Explanation:

  • In chemical reactions, chemical changes occur.
  • Atoms are simply rearranged and new bonds are formed.
  • Chemical reactions are driven by a need for atoms to attain stability in their structure.
  • In all chemical reactions, a reactant or reactants gives new product i.e new substances are formed.
  • Most these reactions are not easily reversible.
  • They are usually accompanied by the release of energy.

The combination of all forces that act on an object are (2 points)
qaws [65]

Answer:

A) The net force

Explanation:

If two forces of equal strength act on an object in opposite directions, the forces will cancel, resulting in a net force of zero and no movement.

Stellar nurseries, such as the orion nebula, contain hundreds or more fragmenting and contracting regions, as well as many proto
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The hydrogen fusion process will begin after the protostar reaches a temperature of 10 million degrees kelvin, and it will then turn into a stable star.

<h3>How does a protostar become a stable star?</h3>

The interstellar medium can sometimes be gathered into a large nebula, which is a cloud of gas and dust. A nebula can span a number of light years. These nebulae are where gas and dust can combine to produce stars. Until a star can combine hydrogen into helium, it cannot be considered a star. They are referred to as protostars before then. As gravity starts to gather the gases into a ball, a protostar is created. Accrution is the term for this procedure.

Gravitational energy starts to heat the gasses as gravity draws them into the ball's core, which causes the gasses to radiate radiation. Radiation initially just dissipates into space. However, much of the radiation is retained inside the protostar as it draws in stuff and becomes denser, which causes the protostar to heat up even more quickly.

The hydrogen fusion process will begin after the protostar reaches a temperature of 10 million degrees kelvin, and it will then turn into a star.

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to
Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.
