A straight wire, labeled as Wire A, lies horizontally on a tabletop and is oriented to run north-south. A conventional current o

f 1.0 amperes runs in the wire directed towards the north. A second wire, labeled as Wire B, is also laid on the tabletop oriented north- south. Which of the following statements is true?
a. If Wire B carries no current in it and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right towards wire A).
b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).
c. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the right (east) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the right (away from Wire A).
d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

Answer:

b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).

d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

Explanation:

Two parallel conductors experience attractive force when the current flowing in the conductors are in the same direction.

Also two parallel conductors experience repulsive force when the current flowing in the conductors are in opposite direction.

Therefore, b and d are the correct options.

b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).

d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30 m/s, and air resistance is negligible. How long does it take the ball to reach t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

Applying,

v = u±gt................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 30 m/s

Constant: g = -10 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

0 = 30-10t

10t = 30

t = 30/10

t = 3 seconds

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during
attashe74 [19]

<u>Answer:</u>

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during "how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Moon is in sequential rotation with Earth, and thus displays the Sun, the close side, always on the same side. Thanks to libration, Earth can display slightly greater than half (nearly 59 per cent) of the entire lunar surface.

The side of the Moon facing Earth is considered the near side, and the far side is called the reverse. The far side is often referred to as the "dark side" inaccurately but it is actually highlighted as often as the near side: once every 29.5 Earth days. During the New Moon the near side becomes blurred.
