Two current-carrying wires are exactly parallel to one another and both carry 2.5A of current. The two wires are separated by a

distance of 15cm. The current in wire 1 moves down and the current in wire 2 also moves down. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length caused by wire 1 on wire 2. What is the direction of the magnetic force caused by wire 2 on wire 1.

1) Magnitude per unit length: 8.3\cdot 10^{-6} N

The magnetic force per unit length between two current-carrying wires is given by:

\frac{F}{\Delta L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 = 4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A is the vacuum permeability

I_1 =I_2 =2.5 A is the current in each wire

r=15 cm=0.15 m is the distance between the two wires

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

\frac{F}{\Delta L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A)(2.5 A)(2.5 A)}{2 \pi (0.15 m)}=8.3\cdot 10^{-6} N

2)  direction of the force: attractive

First of all, let's analyze what is the direction of the magnetic field produced by wire 2 at the location of wire 1. Assume that wire 2 is on the left of wire 1. The direction of the current for wire 2 is down, so by using the right-hand rule, we see that the direction of the magnetic field at the location of wire 2 is south.

Now we apply the right-hand rule on wire 2, to find the direction of the force:

- current: down (index finger)

- magnetic field: south (middle finger)

- force: to the left (thumb)

So, the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 is towards wire 2 (attractive force)

Answer: a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity per time

a = change in velocity/time

a = ∆v/t

average acceleration a = (v2 -v1)/t. ....1

Given;

Final velocity v2 = 1.63m/s

Initial velocity v1 = -1.15ms

time taken t = 2.11s

Substituting into eqn 1

a = [1.63 - (-1.15)]/2.11

a = (1.63+1.15)/2.11

a = 2.78/2.11

a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire have a current flowing to the right. In which direct
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) upward

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the right-hand rule.

First of all, we notice at the location of the negatively charged particle (above the wire), the magnetic field produced by the wire points out of the page (because the current is to the right, so by using the right hand, putting the thumb to the right (as the current) and wrapping the other fingers around it, we see that the direction of the field above the wire is out of the page).

Now we can apply the right hand rule to the charged particle:

- index finger: velocity of the particle, to the right

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field, out of the page

- thumb: direction of the force, downward --> however, the charge is negative, so we must reverse the direction --> upward

Therefore, the direction of  the magnetic force is upward.

In a given chemical reaction, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. Which statement is true fo
Flura [38]

Energy is released in the reaction

Explanation:

In a given where the energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, we can infer that energy is released in the reaction.

This indicates that the reaction is an exothermic or exergonic reaction.

These reaction types are accompanied by release of energy.

  • In an exothermic change energy is released to the surroundings.
  • The surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the change.
  • This applies in exergonic reaction which leaves a reaction having more energy than it originally started with.

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human
Degger [83]

Answer:

1

  The mass of the Potassium-40 is  m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg

2

  The Dose per year in Sieverts is   Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The isotopes of potassium in the body are Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium- 41

    Their abundance is 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%

   The mass of potassium contained in human body is  m = 3.0 g = \frac{3}{1000} = 0.0003 \ kg per kg of the body

    The mass of the first body is  m_1 = 80 \ kg

Now the mass of  potassium  in this body is mathematically evaluated as

       m_p =  m * m_1

substituting value

       m_p =  80  * 0.0003

      m_p  =0.024 kg

The amount of Potassium-40 present  is mathematically evaluated as

      m_{40}} =0.012% * 0.024

      m_{40}} = \frac{0.012}{100}  * 0.024

      m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg

The dose of energy absorbed per year is mathematically represented as

          Dose  = \frac{E}{m_1}

Where E is the energy absorbed which is given as E = 1.10 MeV = 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}

    Substituting value

            Dose  = \frac{ 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}}{80}

            Dose  = 22*10^{-10} J/kg

The Dose in Sieverts is evaluated as

       Dose_s = REB * Dose

       Dose_s = 1.2 * 22*10^{-10}

       Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}
