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).

A student applies a 10 N force to a wood block with a mass of 5 kg. The block is pushed across four different surfaces. The acce
Furkat [3]

The complete question is as follows: A student is subjected to a reaction force of 10 N northward from a 5 kg block while pushing the block over a smooth, level surface. Ignoring friction, what is the acceleration of the block?

Answer: The acceleration of the block is 2 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Given: Force = 10 N

Mass = 5 kg

It is known that force applied on an object is the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, F = m \times a

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

F = m \times a\\10 N = 5 kg \times a\\a = \frac{10}{5}\\= 2 m/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration of block is 2 m/s^{2}.

Relate energy conversion to the law of conservation of energy.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Energy remain conserved while converting its form from one to another

Explanation:

As per the conservation of energy, energy always changes its form from one form to another and it is neither destroyed nor created. The total amount of energy always remains the same.

There are several forms of energy such as thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy, etc.

For example –  

During any chemical reaction, form of one chemical changes into another. In this process some amount of chemical energy remains conserved while the deficit in total starting energy is released as heat and light energy
