Answer:

Therefore,

The magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other is

\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Explanation:

Given:

Two long, parallel wires separated by a distance,

d = 3.50 cm = 0.035 meter

Currents,

I_{1}=1.55\ A\\I_{2}=3.15\ A

To Find:

Magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other,

\dfrac{F}{l}=?

Solution:

Magnitude of the force per unit length on each of @ parallel wires seperated by the distance d and carrying currents I₁ and I₂ is given by,

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}\times I_{1}\times I_{2}}{2\pi\times d}

where,

\mu_{0}=permeability\ of\ free\ space =4\pi\times 10^{-7}

Substituting the values we get

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 1.55\times 3.15}{2\pi\times 0.035}

\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Therefore,

The magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other is

\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Answer:

The force per unit length is 2.79 \times 10^{-5}~N.

Explanation:

As depicted in the figure, the current (I_{1}) through wire 1 is 1.55 A upwards and the current (I_{2}) through wire 2 is 3.15 A downwards. The wires are 3.50 cm apart.

From Biot-Savart's law, we know that the magnetic field (B) due to a current carrying conductor carrying a current I at a distance r from the conductor is given by

\vec{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi} \oint \dfrac{\vec{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}

According to the figure, the magnetic field (B) at 3.5 cm right to wire 1 due to it can be written as

B = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{1}}{2\pi \times 0.035~m} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times10^{-7} N~A^{-2}\times 1.55~A}{2 \pi \times 0.035~m} = 88.57 \times 10^{-7} T

andthe direction will be perpendicular to the screen and towards the screen (as depicted by the \bigotimes symbol in the figure).

Also we know that the force 'F' experience by  a current carrying conductor of length 'L' having current 'I' and placed in a magnetic field 'B' is given by

F = I~L~B

So the force per unit length (F_{21}) experienced by wire 2 due to the magnetic field due to wire 1 is given by

F_{21} = \dfrac{F}{L} = I_{2} \times B = 3.15~A \times 88.57 \times 10^{-7}~T = 2.79 \times 10^{-5} N

and the direction of the force will be right to wire 2.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo
hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

W-N=0 (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

N=W=14,700 N

During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death.  The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
