Two long, straight parallel wires are placed 38 cm apart, one above the other. The top and bottom wires are carrying currents 4.
1 answer:
Answer:
The force per unit length (N/m) on the top wire is 16.842 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
distance between the two parallel wire, d = 38 cm = 0.38 m
current in the first wire, I₁ = 4.0 kA
current in the second wire, I₂ = 8.0 kA
Force per unit length, between two parallel wires is given as;
where;
μ₀ is constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷ T.m/A
Substitute the given values in the above equation and calculate the force per unit length
Therefore, the force per unit length (N/m) on the top wire is 16.842 N/m

This question involves the concepts of general gas equation and pressure.
The force exerted by the gas on one of the walls of the container is "74.08 KN".
First, we will use the general gas equation to find out the pressure of the gas:
where,
P = Pressure of the gas = ?
V = Volume of cube = (side length)³ = (10 cm)³ = (0.1 m)³ = 0.001 m³
n = no. of moles = 3 (since molecules equal to avogadro's number make up 1 mole)
R = general gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = Absolute Temperature = 24°C + 273 = 297 K
Therefore,
P = 7407.78 KPa
Now, the force on one wall can be given as follows:
where,
A = area of one wall = (side length)² = (0.1 m)² = 0.01 m²
Therefore,
<u>F = 74.08 KN</u>

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.
In the case of the <em>hydrogen atom</em>, we know that this is equivalent to m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.
In the case of the <em>Virus</em> we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.
In the case of <em>height</em>, it fluctuates in a person around to
m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.
