How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​

Physics
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?
Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

\Delta V = E d

where

\Delta V is the potential difference between the plates

E is the electric field strength

d is the distance between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have

E=5.00\cdot 10^6 V/m

d = 2.50 mm = 2.50\cdot 10^{-3} m

Substituting, we find

\Delta V = (5.00\cdot 10^6)(2.50\cdot 10^{-3})=12500 V

A bus leaves at 9 am with a group of tourists. They travel 350 km before they stop for lunch. Then they travel an additional 250
Anettt [7]

Average speed = Distance traveled / time taken

In this case Time taken = Difference in hours between 3 PM and 9 AM

                                        = 6 hours

Total distance traveled = 350 km + 250 km

                                       = 600 kilometers

So average speed = 600/6 = 100 km/hr

Average speed of bus = 27.78 m/s

So the bus's average speed = 27.78 m/s or 100 km/hr.
