Answer:
False, because current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor.
Explanation:
Current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor. Thus, the weight on the scale will be the same when current is flowing and when current is not flowing in the copper tube.
Therefore, If a copper tube has current flowing to the right in the presence of a magnetic field going forward ("into the board"), we expect the weight on the scale to be the same whether current is flowing or not.
Answer:
Let N = N0 where N0 is the number of atoms originally present.
In 6 days N = N0 / 2
In 12 days N = N0 / 4
In 18 days N = N0 / 8 = .125 N0
So it would take 18 days.
