Electromagnet would have a stronger pull than a regular magnet

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.

Which of these is a possible disadvantage of using wind as a source of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.

Explanation:

In wind turbines the kinetic energy received by the air molecules is converted into electrical energy by the use of turbines

So here in order to get more kinetic energy from air we need more crossectional area of the wind mill to interact with the air

So here we need the large size of turbines

so this is the main disadvantage of the wind turbines because it needs large area to install the whole setup also the efficiency of this turbine is small so it needs large number of wind mills to setup good output power

so correct answer will be

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.

While driving down the road, a grasshopper strikes the windshield of a bus and makes a mess in front of the face of the driver.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The force on the grass hopper is equal and opposite to the force on the wind shield.

Explanation:

It is a known fact every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Here the action force is the grasshopper hitting the windshield.

The reaction force is the force exerted by the windshield on the grasshopper.

If the force of windshield on the grasshopper is more, grasshopper would have been thrown away. If the grasshopper's force on the windshield is greater, the windshield would have broken.

But here these constitute equal and opposite action-reaction pair of forces and so the grasshopper is able to repeatedly strike the windshield.

A current is established in a gas discharge tube when a sufficiently high potential difference is applied across the two electro
pishuonlain [190]

Explanation:

It is given that the number of electrons passing through the cross-sectional area in 1 s is 3.4 \times 10^{18}. Also, we know that charge on an electron is -1.60 \times 10^{-19} C, then negative charge crossing to the left per second is  as follows.

         I- = 3.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times -1.6 x 10^{-19} C/electrons

         I- = 0.544 A

As it is given that the number of protons crossing per second is 1.4 \times 10^{18}, as the charge on the proton is +1.60 \times 10^{-19} C, then positive charge crossing to the right per second is calculated as follows.

          I+ = 1.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} electrons/C

            I+ = 0.224 A

          I = l I+ l + l I- l

So,    I = 0.544 + 0.224

            = 0.768 A

Thus, we can conclude that the current in given hydrogen discharge tube is 0.768 A.

Two balls have the same mass, but one has a larger volume than the other. which ball has the larger density
Aliun [14]
Answer: the ball with the less volume.
To count density you need to divide the mass by the volume. That means larger mass will be more density, but larger volume means lower density. In this case, the ball has the same mass. So the one with less volume has more density.
