An electromagnetic wave of wavelength 435 nm is traveling in vacuum in the —z direction. The electric field has an amplitude of

2.70 x 10^-3 V/m and is parallel to the x axis. What are the frequency and the magnetic-field amplitude of this wave? In calculating the amplitude of the magnetic field, you divide the electric-field amplitude by the speed of light, which requires you to convert some units. Which of the following is equivalent to 1 T?
a. 1 (N/A.m)
b. 1 (N/c.m)
c. 1 (N.s/C.m)
d. 1 (V.s/m^2)

Answer:

a) 6.9*10^14 Hz

b) 9*10^-12 T

Explanation:

Given that

The wavelength of the wave, λ = 435 nm

Amplitude of the electric field, E(max) = 2.7*10^-3 V/m

a)

The frequency of the wave can be found by using the formula

c = fλ, where c = speed of light

f = c/λ

f = 3*10^8 / 435*10^-9

f = 6.90*10^14 Hz

b)

E(max) = B(max) * c, magnetic field amplitude, B(max) =

B(max) = E(max)/c

B(max) = 2.7*10^-3 / 3*10^8

B(max) = 9*10^-12 T

c)

1T = 1 (V.s/m^2)

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be \large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T, '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field (\large{\overrightarrow{B}}) at a distance 'r' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current 'I' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}

where '\overrightarrow{dl}' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current 'I', at a distance 'd' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}

According to the figure if 'I_{t}' be the current carried by the top wire, 'I_{b}' be the current carried by the bottom wire and '2d' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the \bigotimes symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by \bigodot symbol.

Given \large{I_{t} = 19.5 A} and \large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}

Therefore, the magnetic field (\large{B_{t}}) at 'P' due to the top wire

B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}

and the magnetic field (\large{B_{b}}) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}

Therefore taking the value of \mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} the net magnetic field (\large{B_{M}}) at the midway between the wires will be

\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T

shutvik [7]
These actions are an example of feedback.
Given that the room has reached the desired temperature, there is no more need for it to be heated, at least until the temperature drops a bit. This is why the thermostat sends feedback about this situation to the heater, which immediately switches off until it is needed again.
