Opportunity cost refers to what you have to give up to buy what you want in terms of other goods or services. When economists use the word “cost,” we usually mean opportunity cost.

What would happen if you use a thicker wire around the iron nail of an electromagnet? (thats the whole question)

puteri [66]

Answer:

When we have a current I, we will have a magnetic field perpendicular to this current.

Then if we have a wire in a "spring" form. then we will have a magnetic field along the center of this "spring".

Now suppose we put an iron object in the middle (where the magnetic field is) then we will magnetize the iron object.

Of course, the intensity of the magnetic field is proportional to the current, given by:

B = (μ*I)/(2*π*r)

Where:

μ is a constant, I is the current and r is the distance between to the current.

Now remember that for a resistor:

R = ρ*L/A

R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity, which depends on the material of the wire, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-section of the wire.

If we increase the area of the wire (if we use a thicker wire).

And the relation between resistance and current is:

I = V/R

Where V is the voltaje.

Now, if we use a thicker wire, then the cross-section area of the wire increases.

Notice in the resistance equation, that the cross-section area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area A, the resistance decreases.

And the resistance is on the denominator of the current equation, then if we decrease R, the current increases.

If the current increases, the magnetic field increases, which means that we will have a stronger electromagnet.

light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The distance traveled in 1 year is: $3.143*10^{16}ft$

Explanation:

Given

$s = 982,080,000 ft/s$ --- speed

$t = 32,000,000 s$ --- time

Required

The distance traveled

This is calculated as:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

So, we have:

$Distance = Speed * Time$

This gives:

$Distance = 982,080,000 ft/s * 32,000,000 s$

$Distance = 982,080,000 * 32,000,000ft$

$Distance = 3.143*10^{16}ft$ -- approximated

Three charges, each of magnitude 10 nC, are at separate corners of a square of edge length 3 cm. The two charges at opposite cor

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The force exerted by three charges on the fourth is $F_{resultant}=2.74\times10^{-5}\ \rm N$

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of three identical charges, $q=10\ \rm nC$
Length of the edge of the square a=3 cm
Magnitude of fourth charge ,Q=3 nC

According to coulombs Law the force F between any two charge particles is given by

$F=\dfrac{kQq}{r^2}$

where r is the radial distance between them.

Since the force acting on the charge particle will be in different directions so according to triangle law of vector addition

$F_{resultant}=\sqrt ((\dfrac{kQq}{L^2})^2+(\dfrac{kQq}{L^2} })^2)+\dfrac{kQq}{(\sqrt{2}L)^2}\\F_{resultant}=\dfrac{kQq}{L^2}(\sqrt{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\F_{resultant}=\dfrac{9\times10^9\times10\times10^{-10}\times3\times10^{-9}}{0.03^2}(\sqrt{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\F_{resultant}=2.74\times 10^{-5}\ \rm N$
