How does a galvanometer use a magnetic field to indicate the strength of an electric current?

1 answer:

6 0

It consists of a coil in a constant magnetic field. The current in the coil is the current being measured, and changes the magnetic moment of the coil (given by IA where I is current and A is loop area). This coil's magnetic moment feels a torque in this external magnetic field that moves a needle that tells the observer what the current must be, since the external field is known by the designers of the galvanometer.

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o

leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}$

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

$\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}$
