Answer:

Explanation:

The crust of the Earth is broken into many pieces called plates. The plates "float" on the soft, plastic mantle which is located below the crust, aka asthenosphere

A wire, of length L = 4.1 mm, on a circuit board carries a current of I = 1.96 μA in the j direction. A nearby circuit element g

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 4.1 mm

$B_{x}=4.9\ G$

$B_{y}=2.3\ G$

$B_{z}=2.4\ G$

Current $I = 1.96\ mu A$

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

$B=\sqrt{B_{x}^2+B_{y}^2+B_{z}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$B=\sqrt{(4.9)^2+(2.3)^2+(2.4)^2}$

$B=5.921\ T$

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f

1. The magnitude of the magnetic field doubles

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

$I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

where $\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability, I is the current in the wire, r is the distance from the wire.

As we see from the formula, the intensity of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current: if the current increases from 5 A to 10 A, it means it doubles, so the magnetic field doubles as well.

2. The magnitude of the magnetic field halves

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

$I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

We see that the magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire (r). In this case, the distance of the particle is changed from 10 cm to 20 cm, so it is doubled: therefore, the magnitude of the field will become half of the initial value.

3. The force reverses direction

Explanation: the force exerted on a charged particle in a magnetic field is:

$F=qvB sin \theta$

where q is the charge, v is the speed of the particle, B is the magnetic field intensity and $\theta$ the angle between the direction of v and B. If the charge of the particle is switched from 2 µC to –2µC, the magnitude of the force does not change (because the absolute value of q does not change), however the charge q gets a negative sign (-), so the sign of the force changes and gets a negative sign too, so the force reverses direction.

w strong are you? Could you turn a moving car with just your own strength? No way! If a normal driver inputs about 50 N of force

malfutka [58]

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the measure of its amplified force gain.

The mechanical advantage is defined as the force amplified by a machine to the force required to generate such output.

$Mathematically\ mechanical\ advantage\ MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}$

$F_{o} \ and\ F_{i}$ are the amplified force and applied force. We may also consider them as output and input force.

In the given question, the force given to the steering wheel is 50 N.

The output force produced by the steering wheel is 3750 N.

Hence the mechanical advantage will be-

$MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}$

$=\frac{3750\ N}{50\ N}$

$=75$ [ans]

The question states: two large, parallel conducting plates are 12cm

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. 24375 N/C

2. 2925 V

Explanation:

d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by

F = q E

So, $E=\frac{F}{q}$

$E=\frac{3.9 \times 10^{-15}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

E = 24375 N/C

2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.

V = E x d

where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.

By substituting the values, we get

V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt

describe at least two ways in which parents are able to influence the drinking habits of their children

laiz [17]

Well parents can set rules or even punishments which can influence the drinking habits of there kids such as, they aren't allowed to go out unless they had followed the rule there parents set for the amount they needed to have drank. Parents have many ways in which there authority can influence there kids habits.
