Answer:

200A

Explanation:

Given that

the distance between earth surface and power cable d = 8m

when the current is flowing through cable , the magnitude flux density at the surface is 15μT

when the current flow throught is zero the magnitude flux density at the surface is 20μT

The change in flux density due to the current flowing in the power cable is

B = 20μT - 15μT

B =5μT -----(1)

The expression of magnitude flux density produced by the current carrying cable is

$B=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi d}$ -----(2)

Substitute the value of flux density

B from eqn 1 and eqn 2

$\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi d}=5\times 10^-^6\\\\\frac{(4\pi \times 10^-^7)I}{2 \pi (8)} =5\times 10^-^6\\\\I=200A$

Therefore, the magnitude of current I is 200A

A 975-kg elevator accelerates upward at 0.754 m/s2, pulled by a cable of negligible mass. Find the tension force in the cable.

Zina [86]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's second law.

According to the description given, it is under constant ascending acceleration, and the balance of the forces corresponding to the tension of the rope and the weight of the elevator must be equal to said acceleration. So

$\sum F = ma$

$T-mg = ma$

Here,

T = Tension

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

a = Acceleration (upward)

Rearranging to find T,

$T = m(g+a)$

$T = (975)(9.8+0.754)$

$T= 10290.15N$

Therefore the tension force in the cable is 10290.15N

What technique is used by scientists to determine which of several explanations is the best explanation

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.

The alternating current which crosses an apparatus of 600 W has a maximum value of 2.5 A. What is efficient voltage between its

azamat

Answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Since we know that,

P = VI

where;

P = power

V= Voltage

I = Current

Since it's given that,

P = 600W

I = 2.5 A

equating these values in the above equation, we get;

"How did your current and voltage measurements differ between the series and parallel circuits you created

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same
