A long, East-West-oriented power cable carrying an
Alla [95]

Answer:

200A

Explanation:

Given that

the distance between earth surface and power cable d = 8m

when the current is flowing through cable , the magnitude flux density at the surface is 15μT

when the current flow throught is zero the magnitude flux density at the surface is 20μT

The change in flux density due to the current flowing in the power cable is

B = 20μT - 15μT

B =5μT -----(1)

The expression of magnitude flux density produced by the current carrying cable is

B=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi d}-----(2)

Substitute the value of flux density

B from eqn 1 and eqn 2

\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi d}=5\times 10^-^6\\\\\frac{(4\pi \times 10^-^7)I}{2 \pi (8)} =5\times 10^-^6\\\\I=200A

Therefore, the magnitude of current I is 200A

a bubble of air of volume 1cm^3 is released by a deep sea diver at a depth where the pressure is 4.0 atmospheres. assuming its t
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

hope this helps!

Explanation:

Volume of the air bubble, V1=1.0cm3=1.0×10−6m3

Bubble rises to height, d=40m

Temperature at a depth of 40 m, T1=12oC=285K

Temperature at the surface of the lake, T2=35oC=308K

The pressure on the surface of the lake: P2=1atm=1×1.103×105Pa 

The pressure at the depth of 40 m: P1=1atm+dρg

Where,

ρ is the density of water =103kg/m3

g is the acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

∴P1=1.103×105+40×103×9.8=493300Pa

We have T1P1V1=T2P2V2

Where, V2 is the volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface.

V2=

Space vehicles traveling through Earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. The resulting charge b
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) 0.167 μC/m^2

b) 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

Explanation:

Hello!

First let's find the surface charge density:

a)

Since thesatellite is metallic, the accumalted charge will be uniformly distribuited on its surface. Therefore the charge density σ will be:

σ = Q/A

Where A is the area of the satellite, which is:

A=4πr^2 = πd^2 = π(1.9m)^2

Therefore:

σ = (1.9)/(π (1.9)^2) μC/m^2 = 0.167 μC/m^2

Now let's calculate the electric field

b)

Just outside the surface of the satellite the elctric field will be:

E = σ/ε0

Where      ε0=8.85×10^−12 C/Vm

Therefore:

E = (0.167*10^-6 C/m^2) / (8.85*10^-12  C/Vm) = 0.01887 *10^6 V/m

E = 1.887 * 10^4 V/m
