Two long parallel wires are separated by 6.0 mm. The current in one of the wires is twice the other current. If the magnitude of

the force on a 3.0-m length of one of the wires is equal to 8.0 μN, what is the greater of the two currents?

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of force per unit length of wire on each of wires

= μ₀ x 2 i₁ x i₂ / 4π r    where i₁ and i₂ are current in the two wires , r is distance between the two and  μ₀ is permeability .

Putting the values ,

force per unit length = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x i x 2i / ( 6 x 10⁻³ )

= .67 i² x 10⁻⁴

force on 3 m length

= 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

Given ,

8 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

i²  = 3.98 x 10⁻²

i = 1.995 x 10⁻¹

= .1995

=  0.2 A approx .

2 i = .4 A Ans .

How can a person detect infrared rays without an instrument?
natita [175]
So we want to know how can we detect infrared rays without an instrument. Infrared rays or heat, are a part of electromagnetic spectrum. We have specialized nerve cells in our skin called thermoreceptors that can detect differences in temperature that are produced by infrared part of EM spectrum.

Explain why the extrapolated temperature is used to determine the maximun temperature of the mixture rather than the highest rec
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The extrapolated temperature is used to define the maximum temperature of the mixture relatively than the highest recorded temperature in which the conclusion will effect in a higher specific heat value. Heat is bound to escape from whatever apparatus is using, therefore it is needed to account for the loss of the heat that does not go into increasing the temperature of the mixture.

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.
