Answer:

A volcanic "hotspot" is an area in the mantle from which heat rises as a thermal plume from deep in the Earth. High heat and lower pressure at the base of the lithosphere (tectonic plate) facilitates melting of the rock. This melt, called magma, rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes.

A flat coil of wire consisting of 20 turns, each with an area of 50 cm2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fie

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Induced current, I = 0.5 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

number of turns, N = 20

Area of wire, $A=50\ cm^2=0.005\ m^2$

Initial magnetic field, $B_i=2\ T$

Final magnetic field, $B_f=6\ T$

Time taken, t = 2 s

Resistance of the coil, R = 0.4 ohms

We know that due to change in magnetic field and emf will be induced in the coil. Its formula is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}$

Where

$\phi=BA$

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d(NBA)}{dt}$

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{B_f-B_i}{t}$

$\epsilon=20\times 0.005\times \dfrac{6-2}{2}$

$\epsilon=0.2\ V$

Let I is the induced current in the wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

$\epsilon=I\times R$

$I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{0.2}{0.4}$

I = 0.5 A

So, the magnitude of the induced current in the coil is 0.5 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how a hydroelectric power plant converts energy stored in water into electricity

mart [117]

Hot water, as in very hot water, goes to steam with an enormous change in volume and pressure. This is capable of driving turbine blades, which in turn rotate enormous copper (eg) wired coils in enormous magnetic fields. This in turn produces electricity via electromagnetic induction and Fleming's right hand (I think it is) DYNAMO rule. That goes down miles and mile of v heavy conducting wire/cable as electricity.
