Answer:

At an angle of 30^{\circ}

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}

STALIN [3.7K]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow diameter of the sphere then,

a = 0.08m

Thus z = a

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}

Re-arrange to find I,

I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}

I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}

I = 1.08*10^{-6}A

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is 1.08*10^{-6}A

Explain what is meant by “field” and compare the properties of gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces in terms of particle
Tema [17]
A field is the description of a spatial region, the force exerted on objects by a field is a field force. 
gravitational force field: surrounds every material object, although only objects planet-sized or larger exert significant gravity.
electric force field: surrounds and affect electrical charges
magnetic force field: surround magnets and materials with electricity flowing through them. magnetic fields affect susceptible materials such as iron or other magnets.
