Answer: 1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire I_1=2.2\ A

Current in the second wire I_2=5.9\ A

wires are 20\ cm apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}

Force exerted  by the wires is the same

Put the values

\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

Why do individuals have different traits
Gwar [14]
Individuals have different traits because they are not twins so they should not  be alike also  because people have different genes witch would give them different traits. For example not every individual has blonde hair and blue eyes because they did not inherit those traits.

Which of the following choices concerning the net magnetic flux through any enclosed surface is true according to Gauss' law for
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

Explanation:

As per Gauss law of magnetism we need to find the net magnetic flux through a closed loop

here we know that net magnetic flux is the scalar product of magnetic field vector and area vector

so here we have

\int B. dA = net magnetic flux

since we know that magnetic field always forms closed loop so if we find the integral over a closed loop

then in that case the value of the close integral must be zero

so correct answer would be

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

A forest ranger might be ranked as being high in what type of intelligence?
Drupady [299]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A forest ranger might be ranked as being high in </u><u>Naturalistic</u><u> intelligence.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Naturalistic intelligence is the type of intelligence that relates the activities of people that how sensitive an individual is to nature and the world. Zookeepers, biologists, gardeners, and veterinarians are among those people who have a higher capability of having high naturalist intelligence. Similarly a ranger who is fighting in forests must also be kept in the same category and he might be ranked as being high in the field of Naturalistic Intelligence.
