A 40 cm wire with a radius of 3 cm is oriented along the y axis and carries a current of 2 A. What is the magnitude of the magne
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) B = 1.99 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla

b) B = 0.88 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla

Explanation:

According to Biot - Savart Law, the magnetic field due to a currnt carrying straight wire is given as:

B = μ₀ I L/4πr²

where,

μ₀ = permebility of free space = 1.25 x 10⁻⁶ H m⁻¹

I = current = 2 A

L = Length of wire = 40 cm = 0.4 m

a)

r = radius of magnetic field = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Therefore,

B = (1.25 x 10⁻⁶ H m⁻¹)(2 A)(0.4 m)/4π(0.02 m)²

<u>B = 1.99 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla</u>

<u></u>

b)

r = radius of magnetic field = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Therefore,

B = (1.25 x 10⁻⁶ H m⁻¹)(2 A)(0.4 m)/4π(0.03 m)²

<u>B = 0.88 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla</u>

How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.

Which statement best describes air pressure at high altitudes? (Points : 3)
WARRIOR [948]
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. this is because air pressure is caused by the gravity of earth, the gravity pulls on the air, compacting it and making a pressure.
But as we go higher, gravity decreases, causing less pull on the air resulting in less air pressure.<span />
