Iron is the best conductor in this group.
Nadya [2.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substance which have excess of electrons. Therefore, they are good conductors of heat and electricity as they have mobile electrons.

Out of the given options, iron is a transition metal which are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Sulfur and carbon are non-metals, therefore, they are bad conductors of heat and electricity.

Tin is a poor metal so it will not conduct electricity effectively as compared to iron.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, iron is likely to be the best conductor.

A circular coil of wire of 200 turns and diameter 6 cm carries a current of 7 A. It is placed in a magnetic field of 0.90 T with
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

3.08 Nm

Explanation:

N = 200, diameter = 6 cm, radius = 3 cm, I = 7 A, B = 0.90 T, Angle = 30 degree

The angle made with the normal of the coil, theta = 90 - 30 = 60 degree

Torque = N I A B Sin Theta

Torque = 200 x 7 x 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 x 0.90 x Sin 60

Torque = 3.08 Nm

Calculate the magnitude of the linear momentum for the following cases. (a) a proton with mass 1.67 10-27 kg, moving with a spee
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

<h2>8.0995×10^-21 kgms^-1</h2>

Explanation:

Mass of proton :

m_P=1.67\times 10^-^2^7\:kg\\

Speed of Proton:

v_P=4.85\times 10^6

Linear Momentum of a particle having mass (m) and velocity (v) :

-> p =m->v\:\:\: (1)

Magnitude of momentum :

p=mv\:\:\: (2)

Frome equation (2), magnitude of linear momentum of the proton :

p_P=m_P\:v_P\\\\p_P=1.67\times 10^-^2^7 \:kg\times4.85\times 10^6\:ms^-^1\\\\p_P= 8.0995\times 10^-^2^1\:kgms^-^1

Two spherical shells have a common center. A -2.1 10-6 C charge is spread uniformly over the inner shell, which has a radius of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing

b)  E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial

c) E_total = 0

Explanetion:

For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is

                Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀

inside the spherical shell there are no charges

The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.

We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively

a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m

shell 1

the point is on the outside,d>ro,  therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center

            E₁ = k q₁ / d²

             

shell 2

the point is on the outside,d>ro

             E₂ = k q₂ / d²

the total camp is

              E_total = -E₁ + E₂

              E_total = k ( \frac{-q_1 + q_2}{d^2})

              E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²

              E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C

The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells

b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m

shell 1

point outside the shell d> ro

                 E₁ = k q₁ / d²

shell 2

the point is inside the shell d <ro

Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero

                E₂ = 0

               

                 E_total = E₁

                 E_total = k q₁ / d²

                 E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                 E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A

As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1

c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m

shell 1

point  is inside the shell d< ro

                 

as there are no charges inside

                     E₁ = 0

shell 2

point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro

                    E₂ = 0

the total field is

                    E_total = 0
