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)

What is the strength of the electric field inside the membrane just before the action potential?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Incomplete question, check attachment for the graph needed to solve problem.

A 8.1nm........

Explanation:

Electric Field is given as

E=V/d

Where V is voltage

And d is the distance apart

E is the electric field

The voltage V just before action of potential is -70mV,

The value d=8.1nm

d=8.1×10^-9m

E=V/d

E=-70×10^-3/8.1×10^-9

E=-8.6×10^6 N/C

Then the magnitude of the electric field is 8.6×10^6N/C

An electron in a mercury atom drops
aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

  • h is Planck constant.
  • f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.

A force of 2N will stretch a rubber band 0.02m. Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, answer the following: How far will a 1600N fo
denis-greek [22]
Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant

F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m

Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ

Equate these two equations for acceleration and express, for constant mass, FΔt.
Mariana [72]
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. 
<span>
Simply equate the two.

<span>dV / dt = F/m </span>
<span>F*dt = dV * m </span>
<span>
The impulse you give any object (average force * time elapsed) is equal to its change in momentum (mass * change in velocity).</span>
