Answer:

Electromagnets are temporary magnets made by supplying electric current to a soft iron wounded with coils of wire. Once the source of electricity is disconnected, the magnetism dies off.

However electromagnets usually have stronger electric fields than regular magnets, therefore they are often used in lifting large piece of equipment from one point to another, provided that the equipment are magnetic in nature.

Another major advantage of using an electromagnet rather than a regular magnet is that the magnetism of the electromagnet can be terminated when need be by simply disconnecting the source of electricity.

For example in lifting a heavy metal from one point to another if it gets to the point of dropping off the metal there will be a need to terminate the magnetism so that the metal can fall off; a regular magnet can not be used for this purpose.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.

A tightly wound 1000-turn toroid has an inner radius 1.00 cm and an outer radius 2.00 cm, and carries a current of 1.50 A. The t
V125BC [204]

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field at a distance 1.10cm from the origin is 27.3mT

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given;

Number of turns, N = 1000

Inner radius, r₁ = 1cm

Outer radius, r₂ = 2cm

Current, I = 1.5A

Magnetic field strength, B = ?

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound toroid is given by B = μ₀ NI / 2πr

where,

a < r < b and a and b are the inner and outer radii of the toroid.

The magnetic field of toroid is

B = \frac{u_oNI}{2\pi r}

Substituting the values in the formula:

B (1.10cm) = \frac{(4\pi X 10^-^7 ) ( 1000)(1.5)}{2\pi (1.10) } \\\\

B (1.10cm) = 27.3mT

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field at a distance 1.10cm from the origin is 27.3mT

What energy transformation takes place when an object is pushed up an inclined plane?
Fofino [41]
When you are pushing an object up an inclined plane, the object is gaining gravitational potential energy as it is gaining height. The kinetic energy of the object decreases and converts into that potential energy as you go up. When you have stopped, all of the kinetic energy of the object has fully been converted to gravitational potential energy.
