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.

A very small object with mass 8.30×10-9 kg and positive charge 6.90×10-9 C is projected directly toward a very large insulating

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$41.4496148484\ m/s$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

$\sigma$ = Surface charge density = $5.9\times 10^{-8}\ C/m^2$

$\Delta x$ = 0.57-0.26

q = Charge = $6.9\times 10^{-9}\ C$

m = Mass of object = $8.3\times 10^{-9}\ kg$

Electric field due to a sheet is given by

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^{-8}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=3333.33\ V/m$

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

Voltage is given by

$V=E\Delta x$

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=qV$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qE\Delta x\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qE\Delta x}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.9\times 10^{-9}\times 3333.33\times (0.57-0.26)}{8.3\times 10^{-9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4496148484\ m/s$

The initial speed of the object is $41.4496148484\ m/s$

NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
