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.

Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?

andrezito [222]

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect in series with the devices they control.

A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

$K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2$

$\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s$

Explanation:

Note that we take $K_2 = 0$ because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.

Mount Everest rises to a height of 8,850 m above sea level. At a base camp on the mountain the atmospheric pressure is measured

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

74.86°C

Explanation:

P₂ = Vapour pressure of water at sea level = 760 mmHg

P₁ = Pressure at base camp = 296 mmHg

T₂ = Temperature of water = 373 K

ΔH°vap for H2O = 40.7 kJ/mol = 40700 J/mol

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

From Claussius Clapeyron equation

$ln\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{\Delta H}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right)\\\Rightarrow ln\frac{760}{296}=\frac{40700}{8.314}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{373}\right)\\\Rightarrow ln\frac{760}{296}\times \frac{8.314}{40700}+\frac{1}{373}=\frac{1}{T_1}\\\Rightarrow 0.0028735=\frac{1}{T_1}\\\Rightarrow T_1=347.996\ K$

T₁ = 347.996 K = 74.86°C

∴Water will boil at 74.86°C

How is Newton’s 3rd law in baseball?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:Explanation: According to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the bat hitting the ball will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction of the force the ball exerts on the bat. Generally, your arms are stiff when you hit the ball forward, so you will not feel the bat "recoiling".
