A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a

battery to the ends of the spooled wire, the resulting current is 1.8 A. Some weeks later, after cutting off various lengths of wire for use in repairs, the electrician finds that the spooled wire carries a 2.9-A current when the same battery is connected to it. What is the length of wire remaining on the spool

Answer:

$40.34\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

$L_1$ = Length of wire = 65 m

$I_1$ = Initial current = 1.8 A

$I_2$ = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

$R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

and

$R\propto L$

$\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

so

$\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}$

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is $40.34\ \text{m}$ .

Answer:

These forces are all equal and cancel each other out. Gravity pushes downward on the ice cream. This can also be called the weight of the ice cream. Buoyant force pushes the ice cream upward

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

R is resistance,
L is length,
A is area,
ρ is resistivity
d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

$\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}$

$\frac{R}{L}$ for iron = $\frac{R}{L}$ for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

$\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }$

re-arranging the equation we have,

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} }$

$\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet

Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

The magnetic flux is given by:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}$

$d\vec{A}$ is parallel to $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{B}$ is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2$

Part A)

initially the flux is $\phi =\pi B r^2$

after the interval $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$

the flux is

$\phi = 0$

now, the EMF is defined as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt}$ ,

if we consider $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$ very small then we can re-write it as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12$

then:

$\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]$

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.
