Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current

1 answer:

7 0

A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

A person pushes a 10 kg box from rest and accelerates it to a speed of 4 m/s with a constant force. If the box is pushed for a t

lutik1710 [3]

The box is accelerated from rest to 4 m/s in a matter of 2.5 s, so its acceleration <em>a</em> is such that

4 m/s = <em>a</em> (2.5 s) → <em>a</em> = (4 m/s) / (2.5 s) = 1.6 m/s²

Then the force applied to the box has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that

<em>F</em> = (10 kg) (1.6 m/s²) = 16 N

A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 600 cm^2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the

Julli [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The charge Q on the positive charge capacitor can be gotten using the formula Q = CV

C = capacitance of the capacitor (in Farads )

V = voltage (in volts) = 100V

C = ∈A/d

∈ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 × 10^-12 F/m

A = cross sectional area = 600 cm²

d= distance between the plates = 0.7cm

C = 8.85 × 10^-12 * 600/0.7

C = 7.59*10^-9Farads

Q = 7.59*10^-9 * 100

Q = 7.59*10^-7Coulombs

Q = 0.759*10^-6C

Q = 0.759µC

b) Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 * 7.59*10^-9 * 100²

E = 0.0000395Joules

E = 39.5*10^-6Joules

E = 39.5µJ

A 2000 kg car accelerates from 0 to 25 m / s in 21.0 s. How much is the average power delivered by the motor? (1 hp = 746 W)

mash [69]

Answer: 40.2 hp

Explanation:

The mass of the car is 2000kg.

in 21 seconds, it accelerates from 0m/s to 25m/s, so the average acceleration is:

a = (25m/s)/(21s) = 1.2 m/s^2

We know that force = mass*acceleration, then:

F = 2000kg*1.2m/s^2 = 2400N.

Now, the Power can be written as:

P = W/t where W is work = F*d (force per distance) and t is time.

then we have:

P = (F*d)/t and d/t is the average velocity, and we know the velocity v = 25m/s, so the average velocity will be (1/2)*25m/s = 12.5m/s

P = F*12.5m/s

and the force is F = 2400N

P = 2400 N*12.5m/s = 30,000 W

and we know that 1hp = 746 W

then, P = (30,000/746) hp = 40.2 hp

1. A large turbine has an initial angular momentum of 6700 kgm^2/s. A storm is rolling in and the wind picks up. 8 seconds later

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

262.5 Nm

Explanation:

Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum.

Hence, we have

$\tau = \dfrac{\Delta L}{t}$

Δ<em>L</em> is the change in angular momentum.

Using values in the question,

$\tau = \dfrac{8800-6700 \text{ kg m}^2\text{/s}}{8\text{ s}} = 262.5 \text{ Nm}$
