In equal-arm balances from the early twentieth century, it is sometimes observed that an aluminum sheet hangs from one of the ar

ms and passes between the poles of a magnet. This causes the oscillations of the equal-arm balance to decay rapidly. In the absence of such magnetic braking, the oscillation might continue for a very long time, so that the experimenter would have to wait to take a reading. The oscillations decay because which of the following reasons? A. Aluminum is paramagnetic. B. Currents in the aluminum sheet set up a magnetic field that opposes the oscillations. C. The aluminum sheet is attracted to the magnet.

Answer:

Currents in the aluminum sheet set up a magnetic field that opposes the oscillations

Explanation:

It has been stated in the question that the aluminum sheet hangs from one of the arms and passes between the poles of the magnet and causes the magnetic field to decay rapidly. In the absence of this magnetic breaking, the oscillation may continue for a long time.

As the aluminum hangs from one of the sheets and passes between the poles of the magnet, the magnetic flux linked to the sheet changes and emf is induced in the sheet according to Lenz law. As a result of this induced emf, eddy currents are developed on the plate. The Eddy currents opposes the magnetic force on the aluminum sheets. This opposes the oscillation of the aluminum sheet and causes it to come to rest.

Compare the patterns of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on earth?
IgorC [24]

At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occurs as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes form between the plates, as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle. Second, two plates may come together, at a converging plate boundary. Two situations are possible at converging plate boundaries.

What is the balanced equation for the combustion of magnesium?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

2Mg  +  O2 →  2MgO

Explanation:

In all conbustion you should know, that reactans are an specific compound and O2, so the products must be CO2 and H2O, or in this case, the corresponding oxide.

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.​
LuckyWell [14K]
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
