Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Resistance means opposing the flow of current through a wire or circuit.

The relation between resistance, length and area is as follows.

               R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

where,      R = resisatnce

                \rho = resistivity

                  l = length

                 A = area

Therefore, when we decrease the length of wire then there will be decrease in resistance as length is directly proportional to resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that Nina most likely trying to accomplish decrease in resistance.

Answer:

The magnetic force points in the positive z-direction, which corresponds to the upward direction.

Option 2 is correct, the force points in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on any charge is given as the cross product of qv and B

F = qv × B

where q = charge on the ball thrown = +q (Since it is positively charged)

v = velocity of the charged ball = (+vî) (velocity is in the eastern direction)

B = Magnetic field = (+Bj) (Magnetic field is in the northern direction; pointing forward)

F = qv × B = (+qvî) × (Bj)

F =

| î j k |

| qv 0 0|

| 0 B 0

F = i(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(qvB - 0)

F = (qvB)k N

The force is in the z-direction.

We could also use the right hand rule; if we point the index finger east (direction of the velocity), the middle finger northwards (direction of the magnetic field), the thumb points in the upward direction (direction of the magnetic force). Hence, the magnetic force is acting upwards, in the positive z-direction too.

Hope this Helps!!!

Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms
BaLLatris [955]
Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.
