It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun.  The reason why the moon changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.

A student makes a short electromagnet by winding 580 turns of wire around a wooden cylinder of diameter d = 2.1 cm. The coil is
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

1.02453 Am²

0.36834 m

Explanation:

N = Number of turns = 580

d = Diameter = 2.1 cm

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=1.05\ cm

A = Area = \pi r^2

I = Current = 5.1 A

B = Magnetic field = 4.1 μT

x = Distance

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

Magnetic dipole moment is given by

\mu=NIA\\\Rightarrow \mu=580\times 5.1\times \pi\times 0.0105^2\\\Rightarrow \mu=1.02453\ Am^2

The magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of this device is 1.02453 Am²

Magnetic field is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0NIA}{2\pi x^3}\\\Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{\mu_0NIA}{2\pi B}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 580\times 5.1\times \pi\times 0.0105^2}{2\pi 4.1\times 10^{-6}}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow x=0.36834\ m

The axial distance is 0.36834 m
