Which one of the following statements concerning emf is true?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

C) Emf is the force exerted on a single charge to move it from one terminal to the other of an emf device.

Explanation:

Electromotive force, abbreviation E or emf, electrical energy per unit supplied from an energy source, such as an electrical generator or a battery. In the engine or battery, electricity is transformed from one source to another as the device works on the electrical charge that is passed within itself.

In physics it is defined as Work done by a cell or battery in moving a unit charge from its one terminal to the other, against the potential.

Hence C is correct

Suppose you are chatting with your friend, who lives on the moon. He tells you he has just won a Newton of gold in a contest. Ex
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The friend on moon is richer.

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity changes from planet to planet. So the weight of 1 Newton of gold carries different mass on different places. So we need to calculate the mass of gold that both persons have.

<u>FRIEND ON MOON</u>:

W₁ = m₁g₁

where,

W₁ = Weight of Gold won by friend on moon = 1 N

m₁ = mass of gold won by friend on moon = ?

g₁ = acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.625 m/s²

Therefore,

1 N = m₁(1.625 m/s²)

m₁ = 0.62 kg

<u>ON EARTH</u>:

W₂ = m₂g₂

where,

W₂ = Weight of Gold won by me on Earth = 1 N

m₂ = mass of gold won by me on Earth = ?

g₂ = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

1 N = m₁(9.8 m/s²)

m₁ = 0.1 kg

Since, the friend on moon has greater mass of gold than me.

<u>Therefore, the friend on moon is richer.</u>

An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel
Anika [276]

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.
