Answer:

A. absorption of ultraviolet rays from the Sun

Explanation:

The thermosphere helps protect and regulate Earth's temperature by absorbing much of the UV radiation and X-rays emitted by the Sun. When the Sun is most active, the thermosphere heats up and increases in size, increasing its protective power.

Just like in the oceans, the Earth's atmosphere experiences waves and tides that help move energy within it. The winds and the general circulation of the thermosphere are strong drivers of these tides and waves.

A magnetic field of 37.2 t has been achieved at the mit francis bitter national magnetic laboratory. Find the current needed to
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Here is the complete question:

https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/magnetic-field-372-t-achieved-mit-francis-bitter-national-magnetic-laboratory-find-current-q900632

a) Current for long straight wire  =3.7\ MA

b) Current at the center of the circular coil =2.48\times 10^{5}\ A

c) Current near the center of a solenoid 236.8\ A

Explanation:

⇒ Magnetic Field due to long straight wire is given by (B),where B=\frac{\mu\times I}{2\pi(r) },so\ I=\frac{B\ 2\pi(r)}{\mu}

\mu=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ \frac{henry}{m}

Plugging the values,

Conversion 1\times 10^6 A = 1\ MA,and 2cm=\frac{2}{100}=0.02\ m

I=\frac{37.2\times \ 2\pi(0.02)}{4\ \pi \times (10^{-7})}=3.7\ MA

⇒Magnetic Field at the center due to circular coil (at center) is given by,B=\frac{\mu\times I (N)}{2(a)}

So I= \frac{2B(a)}{\mu\ N} = \frac{2\times 37.2\times 0.42}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 100}=2.48\time 10{^5}\ A

⇒Magnetic field due to the long solenoid,B=\mu\ nI=\mu (\frac{N}{l})I

Then I=\frac{B}{\mu(\frac{N}{L})} \approx 236.8\A  

So the value of current are  3.7 MA,2.48\times 10^{5} A and 236.8\ A respectively.

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
