Explanation:
It is given that,
Distance between wires, d = 3.5 mm = 0.0035 m
Power of light bulb, P = 100 W
Potential difference, V = 120 V
(a) We need to find the force per unit length each wire of the cord exert on the other. It is given by :
Power, P = V × I
This gives,
(b) Since, the two wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. So, teh force is repulsive.
(c) This force is negligible.
Hence, this is the required solution.
In technical terms, every coil of wire increases the "magnetic flux density" (strength) of your magnet.
So it's A (magnetic field increase)
We can use the equation of
E = mc△T
To calculate the total heat absorbed.
E is the total heat absorbed (energy used)
m is mass.
c is specific heat capacity and
△T is the temperature change.
E = 125 x 4.184 x (32.8 - 25.2)
E = 3974.8 J
Therofre the total heat absorbed is 3974.8 joules.
The mass of the sheet of aluminium is the product between its density d and its volume V:
Re-arranging the equation, we can find the volume of the sheet:
Converted in millimeters,
The area is
Since
, this area corresponds to
So we can now find the thickness of the sheet of aluminium:
