Answer:

Electromagnets are special types of magnets that are made by passing current through coils of wire. To make an electromagnet, the minimum requirements are:

1. A nail (usually made of iron, steel or zinc)

2. Dry cell batteries

3. Wire (Usually copper wire)

Other things could be:

1. Electric tape to hold both ends of the wire properly at the battery terminals.

2. Scissors to cut the wire into desired length.

3. Iron fillings for testing purposes.

What is the energy level of hydrogen?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

Explanation:

A scientist known as Niels Bohr put forward that electrons in an atom covers some permitted orbitals with a specific energy. In other words, the energy of an electron in an atom is not continuous, but 'quantized.' The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

$E = -\frac{E_0}{n^2} \\where \\E_0 = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602\times 10^{-19}Joules)\\and\ n = 1,2,3...$

Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are fixed at points with coordinates <0, 4.00 cm> and <0, -4.00 cm

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of the system of charges

= 9 x 10⁹ x [ q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + q₂q₃ / r₂₃ + q₁q₃ / r₁₃ ]

here r₁₂ , r₂₃ , r₁₃ are distance between 1 st and 2 nd charge , 2 nd and 3 rd charge and fist and third charge.

r₁₂ = 8 cm , r₂₃ = 4 cm , r₁₃ = 4 cm.

q₁ = 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₂ = - 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₃ = 10 x 10⁻⁹ C

Potential energy = 9 x 10⁹ x [ - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08 + -200x10⁻¹⁸ / .04 + 200 x 10¹⁸ / .04 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08

= 45 x 10⁻⁶ J .

Potential at the point of fourth charge due to three charges of 20 nC , - 20 nC and 10 nC at the centre

9 x 10⁹ [ 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + - 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03

= 3000 V .

potential energy of fourth particle = charge x potential

= 3000 x 40 x 10⁻⁹ = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J .

kinetic energy at infinity = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

1/2 m v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

.5 x 2 x 10⁻¹³ x v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵

v² = 12 x 10⁸

v = 3.46 x 10⁴ m/s

= 9 x 10⁹

Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a rough floor. He decides to move them at the

Over [174]

Answer:

Part a)

$a= 0.32 m/s^2$

Part b)

$F_c = 3.6 N$

Part c)

$F_c = 5.5 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the friction force on two boxes is given as

$F_f = \mu m_a g + \mu m_b g$

$F_f = 0.02(10.6 + 7)9.81$

$F_f = 3.45 N$

Now we know by Newton's II law

$F_{net} = ma$

so we have

$F_p - F_f = (m_a + m_b) a$

$9.1 - 3.45 = (10.6 + 7) a$

$a = \frac{5.65}{17.6}$

$a= 0.32 m/s^2$

Part b)

For block B we know that net force on it will push it forward with same acceleration so we have

$F_c - F_f = m_b a$

$F_c = \mu m_b g + m_b a$

$F_c = 0.02(7)(9.8) + 7(0.32)$

$F_c = 3.6 N$

Part c)

If Alex push from other side then also the acceleration will be same

So for box B we can say that Net force is given as

$F_p - F_f - F_c = m_b a$

$9.1 - 0.02(7)(9.8) - F_c = 7(0.32)$

$F_c = 9.1 - 0.02 (7)(9.8) - 7(0.32)$

$F_c = 5.5 N$
