Answer:

1. The magnetic field encircles the wire in a counterclockwise direction

Explanation:

When we have a current carrying wire perpendicular to the screen in which the current flows out of the screen then by the Maxwell's right-hand thumb rule we place the thumb of our right hand in the direction of the current and curl the remaining fingers around the wire, these curled fingers denote the direction of the magnetic field which is in the counter-clock wise direction.

Ever current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it.

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density?
MrMuchimi
The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

A woman rides a carnival Ferris wheel at radius 20 m, completing 6.0 turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What are (a)
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of ferris wheel is 20 m

It completes 6 turns in 1 min

i.e. 1 turn in 10 sec

Therefore its angular velocity is \omega =\frac{2\pi }{10} rad/s

(a)Period of motion is 10 s

Magnitude of centripetal acceleration is \omega ^2r

=\left ( \frac{\pi }{5}\right )^2\times 20=7.89 m/s^2

(b)Highest point will be 40 m

(c) lowest point 0 m i.e. at ground

Can the resistors in an "unbalanced" Wheatstone bridge circuit be treated as a combination of series and/or parallel resistors?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resistors in a unbalanced wheat stone bridge cannot be treated as a combination of series and parallel combination of resistors.

In case of balanced wheat stone bridge, the resistors can be treated as the combination of series and parallel combination.

Here, In the balanced wheat stone bridge

R1 and R2 be in series and Ra and Rx is series and then their combination is in parallel combination.
