How does a magnet work?

1 answer:

7 0

All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.

What current is taken by the lamp when it is connected to a 220 v mains supply? what is the resistance of the lamp

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Given parameters

Potential difference (V) = 220 V

Power of lamp 1 (P1) = 100 W

Power of lamp 2 (P2) = 60 W

Both the bulbs are connected in parallel. Therefore, the potential difference across each of them will be 220 V, because no division of voltage occurs in a parallel circuit.

We know that

Power = Voltage x Current

P = V x I

I = P/V

Lamp 1:

I1 = P1/V

I1 = 100/220

I1 = 5/11 A

Lamp 2:

I2 = P2/V

I2 = 60/220

I2 = 3/11 A

Net current (I) = I1 + I2

I = 5/11 + 3/11

I = 8/11

I = 0.7273 A

Hence, current drawn from the line is 0.727 A

Question 3 A woman sitting in a stationary car notices a man cycling past her at 40 km/hr. Five seconds after he passes her car,

Naya [18.7K]

The shortest possible distance in which she catches up with the man is 129.7 m.

The given parameters:

speed of the man, v₁ = 40 km/hr

speed of the woman, v₂ = 70 km/hr

time when the woman started moving, t₁ = 5 seconds

To find:

the shortest distance when she catches up with the man

Convert the given speed in km/h to m/s

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s
40 km/h = 40/3.6 = 11.11 m/s
70 km/h = 70/3.6 = 19.44 m/s

Calculate the distance moved by the man before she started following him.

Distance moved by the man = speed x time

= 11.11 m/s x 5 s

= 55.55 m

Let the time the woman catches up with the man = t

Apply the following simple principle to calculate the time.

The man is moving forward and the woman is moving forward to close the gap between them, thus both speeds are working against each other.

$(v_2-v_1)t = 55.55 \ m$

the difference in the speed is because they are working against each other.

$(19.44 - 11.11)t = 55.55\\\\8.33t = 55.55\\\\t = \frac{55.55}{8.33} \\\\t = 6.67 \ s$

The time when the woman catches up with the man = 6.67 s

The shortest distance at which the woman catches up with the man is calculated as;

Shortest distance = woman's speed x time when she catches up

= 19.44 m/s x 6.67 s

= 129.7 m

Thus, the shortest possible distance in which she catches up with the man is 129.7 m.
