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.

A submarine is 58.8 m from a whale. The sub sends out a sonar ping to locate the whale. The speed of sound underwater is 1520 m/
MissTica

Answer:

0.08

Explanation:

this problem assume that both of whale and submarine are in rest position or in constant linier motion in same direction and same speed.

The sound will travel from Submarine to the whale and back again to submarine. so the time will be like this

t = 2d/v

t = 2*58.8/1520

t = 117.6/1520

t = 0.077368 s

t ≈ 0.08 s (less then 1 s)

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

A balloon that has been rubbed on wool has a negative charge. When the balloon is held over—but not touching—some bits of paper,
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

This process is known as static electricity

Explanation:

When balloon is rubbed on the wool , a negative charge is usually formed. When the balloon is then held over—but not touching—some bits of paper, some of the bits jump up to the balloon. The bits which jump up to the balloon are positive charged and we know that unlike charges attract.

This process explains static electricity which is when the charges on a material are not in a balanced state.
