What is the difference between the B-field and the H-field?

The H field is in units of amps/meter.  It is sometimes called the auxiliary field. It describes the strength (or intensity) of a magnetic field. The B field is the magnetic flux density.  It tells us how dense the field is.  If you think about a magnetic field as a collection of magnetic field lines, the B field tells us how closely they are spaced together. These lines (flux linkages) are measured in a unit called a Weber (Wb).  This is the analog to the electric charge, the Coulomb.  Just like electric flux density (the D field, given by D=εE) is Coulombs/m²,  The B field is given by Wb/m², or Tesla.  The B field is defined to be μH, in a similar way the D field is defined.  Thus B is material dependent.  If you expose a piece of iron (large μ) to an H field, the magnetic moments (atoms) inside will align in the field and amplify it.  This is why we use iron cores in electromagnets and transformers.
So if you need to measure how much flux goes through a loop, you need the flux density times the area of the loop Φ=BA.  The units work out like 
Φ=[Wb/m²][m²]=[Wb], which is really just the amount of flux.  The H field alone can't tell you this because without μ, we don't know the "number of field" lines that were caused in the material (even in vacuum) by that H field.  And the flux cares about the number of lines, not the field intensity.
I'm way into magnetic fields, my PhD research is in this area so I could go on forever.   I have included a picture that also shows M, the magnetization of a material along with H and B.  M is like the polarization vector, P, of dielectric materials. If you need more info let me know but I'll leave you alone for now!

Describe an object’s motion when balanced forces act on it
Alinara [238K]

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal

In a science fiction story, a microscopic black hole is given an enormous positive charge by firing an un-neutralized ion drive
Olegator [25]

Answer: distance d = 4.73e10m

Explanation: Suppose the charge on the black hole is 5740 C which is a positive charge.

Using electric potential V formula:

V = kq / d

Where K = 9.05×10^9Nm^2/C

And e = 1.6×10^-19C

But you don't need to substitute it.

1090 V = 8.99e9N·m²/C² * 5740C /d

Make d the subject of formula

d = 4.73e10 m

Vector A has y-component Ay= +15.0 m . A makes an angle of 32.0 counterclockwise from the +y-axis. What is the x component of A?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

x-component=-9.3 m

Magnitude of A=17.7m

Explanation:

We are given that

A_y=+15 m

\theta=32^{\circ}

We have to find the x-component of A and magnitude of A.

According to question

A_y=\mid A\mid cos\theta

Substitute the values then we get

15=\mid A\mid cos32

\mid A\mid =\frac{15}{cos32}=\frac{15}{0.848}

\mid A\mid=17.7m

tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}

tan32=\frac{A_x}{A_y}=\frac{A_x}{15}

0.62\times 15=A_x

A_x=9.3

The value of x-component of A is negative because the vector A lie  in second quadrant.

Hence, the x- component of A=-9.3 m

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s  

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
