What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.

2 answers:

7 0

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

Answer:

(Straight out of Physics textbook)

Explanation:

An electric motor is a slightly modified galvanometer. An electric motor current changes direction every time the coil makes a half revolution. Electric motors have greatly impacted the way of life. It made it possible to replace enormous human and animal toil by electric power all over the world.

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?

Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$

A 9.5 V battery supplies a 3.5 mA current to a circuit for 7.0 h. Part A How much charge has been transferred from the negative

pychu [463]

Answer:

88.2 C

Explanation:

The current can be defined as the rate of flow of charge in a conductor.

The relation between charge current and time is given as

I = Q/T

I = current, Q= charge and T = time

that is ampere = coulomb / second

The amount of charge passed is from the negative to the positive terminal

shall be given by:

Q = I * t = 3.5mA * 7h * 3600s/h = 88.2 C

Note: take care of the units.

A particular form of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 5.42x10^15 Hz. What is the wavelength is nanometers? meters?

zubka84 [21]

Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.
Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 / <span>5.42x10^15
</span><span>Wavelength = 5.54 x 10^-8 m = 55.35 nm</span>
