If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f

rom a wire changes from 10 cm to 20 cm, what happens to its magnetic field? If the charge of a particle changes from 2 µC to –2µC, what happens to the force exerted on that particle?

(1) Doubling of the current through the wire will result in doubling of its magnetic  field.

The magnetic field around a wire is a function of the current I and radial distance r

B = \frac{\mu\cdot I }{2\pi r}

(with mu denoting the magnetic permeability of the medium). So, B is directly proportional to I. The field magnitude will double with the doubled current from 5A to 10A

(2) Using the same formula as in (1), we can see that the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radial distance from the wire. So, a particle at 20cm will experience half the magnitude compared to a particle at 10cm.

(3) Answer

If a particle with a charge q  moves through a magnetic field B with velocity v, it will be acted on by the magnetic force

F_m = B\cdot v\cdot q

So, a particle with charge -2uC will experience a magnetic force of same magnitude but opposite direction (and perpendicular to B) as compared to a particle with a charge of 2uC

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system​
tatiyna
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.

Assuming that the uncertainty in mass is negligible, and the uncertainty in velocity is 5 %, what is the uncertainty in the mome
Flura [38]

Answer:

 Δp = 0.05 p

Explanation:

The moment is

      p = m v

The uncertainty of the moment is

       Δp = dp/dm Δm + dp/dv Δv

Like the uncertainty in the mass is zero

       Δm = 0

       ΔP = m Δv

We divide for the moment

       Δp / p = Δv / v

  They do not indicate that Δv / v = 0.05

       Δp / p = 0.05

       Δp = 0.05 p

In the case of a system consisting of two cars

      p = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

     Δp = dp / dv₁ Δv₁ + dp / dv₂ Δv₂

     Δp = m₁ Δv₁ + m₂ Δv₂

     Δv₁ / v₁ = 0.05

     Δv₁ = 0.05 v₁

     Δv₂ / v₂ = 0.05

     Δv₂ = 0.05 v₂

We replace

       Δp = m₁ 0.05 v₁ + m₂ 0.05 v₂

       Δp = 0.05 p
