A wire carries a 11.3-mA current along the +x-axis through a magnetic field = (16.2 + 2.4 ĵ) T. If the wire experiences a force

of -15.7 N as a result, how long is the wire?

Answer:

The length of the wire is 579 m

Explanation:

Given;

current on the wire, I =  11.3-mA

magnetic field of the wire, B = (16.2i + 2.4 ĵ) T

Magnitude of force experience by the wire, F = 15.7 N

Magnitude of force experience by  current carrying wire at a given a magnetic field strength is calculated as;

F = BILsinθ

Where;

B is magnitude of magnetic field

F is the force on the wire

L is length of the wire

θ is direction of the magnetic field

B = \sqrt{16.2^2 +2.4^2} = \sqrt{268.2} = 16.377 \ T

tan \theta = \frac{2.4}{16.2} \\\\tan \theta =  0.1482\\\\\theta = tan^{-1}(0.1482) \\\\\theta = 8.43^o

Length of the wire is calculated as;

L = \frac{F}{BIsin \theta} = \frac{15.7}{16.377*11.3*10^{-3}*sin(8.43)} = 578.9 \ m

Therefore, the length of the wire is 579 m

Consider two wires made of copper. They have the same diameter but one of them has three times the length of the other. Choose t
boyakko [2]

Answer:

a. Both wires have the same resistivity

Explanation:

For the resistance of a wire , following formula holds good .

R = ρ l / S , R is resistance , l is length , S is cross sectional area and ρ is resistivity of the material that the wire is made of. Resistance is dependent on length and cross sectional area but resistivity does not depend upon length or cross sectional area . It only depends upon the type of material.

If we replace  copper wire with aluminium wire , then resistivity will change .

Hence , since the wire remains made of copper , resistivity will not change.

Is charging by contact the same as charging by conduction?
netineya [11]

Answer:So, the difference between charging by induction and conduction comes down to the contact of the neutral object and the object used to charge it. Conduction requires direct contact, while induction does not.
