Answer:

An electromagnet is a form of magnet that is made by the passage of electric current through a coil of wire. The core of an electromagnet increases the strength of the produced magnetic field

Soft iron is used as the core of an electromagnet because soft iron is a magnetic material and therefore it is permeable to and becomes magnetized by the magnetic field coming from the flowing current, thereby allowing more flux to pass through the core of the electromagnet, producing a magnetic field strength that is several times that of an air core electromagnet as the relative permeability (to magnetic flux, compared to vacuum) of soft iron is about 64 × 10³

However, once the current is switched, the soft iron does not remain its magnetic, and therefore, the electromagnet becomes demagnetized, thereby being able to maintain its electromagnetic characteristics (being made magnetic by the flow of electric current)

An organ pipe open at both ends has a radius of 4.0 cm and a length of 6.0 m. what is the frequency (in hz) of the third harmoni

Marysya12 [62]

When air is blown into the open pipe,

L = $\frac{nλ}{2}$

where nis any integral number 1,2,3,4 etc. and λ is the wavelength of the oscillation

⇒λ= $\frac{2L} {n}$

Note here that n=1 is for fundamental, n=2 is first harmonic and so on..

⇒ third harmonic will be n=4

Given L=6m, n=4, solving for λ we get:

λ= $\frac{(2)*(6)}{4}$ =3m

Relationship of frequency(f), velocity of sound (c) and wavelength(λ) is:

c=f.λ Or f= $\frac{c}{λ}$

⇒f= $\frac{344}{3}$

≈115 Hz

What is the source of energy in the food chain

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The first source of energy in a food chain is producer.

Explanation: In the food chain, the producer will be a plant that a primary consumer, a herbivore eats. The herbivore gets eaten by a secondary consumer, carnivorous. When the carnivore dies, it becomes energy for a decomposer.
