Answer:

The value is E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of matter converted to energy on first test is  m  =  1 \  g  = 0.001 \  kg

    The mass of matter converted to energy on second test m_1 =  1.5 \  g = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ kg

    Generally the amount of energy that was released by  the explosion is  mathematically  represented as  

         E =  m * c^2

=>       E =  1.5 *10^{-3}  * [ 3.0 *10^{8}]^2

=>       E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnet field is a region around the magnet in which the magnetic force can be experienced. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. A Magnetic field originates from north pole and ends at south pole.

Magnets are of two types: Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

A moving charge produces magnetic field. A stationary charge can not produce a magnetic field.

The rate of flowing charge constitutes an electric current. If the cardboard is placed around the current carrying conductor and the iron fillings spread around the cardboard then the iron nails get stick to it. It means that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given statements are as follows;

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
