Why does a magnet attract a steel nail

Physics
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance  between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is  approximately  v = 343 m/s

so

lowest frequency will be = \frac{v}{2L}   ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = \frac{343}{2(0.32)}

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

so

wavelength =  \frac{v}{f}   ..............2

put here value

wavelength =  \frac{343}{4000}  

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance =  \frac{wavelength}{2}   ..............3

distance =  \frac{0.08575}{2}  

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance  between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

The total resistance of a parallel circuit is 25 ohms. If the total current is 100mA, how much current is through a 220 ohm resi
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The current across the resistance is 0.011 A.

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 25 ohms

Total current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Let the voltage is V.

By the Ohm's law

V = I R

V = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5 V

Now the resistance is R' = 220 ohm

As they are in parallel so the voltage is same. Let the current is I'.

V = I' x R'

2.5 = I' x 220

I' = 0.011 A

Answer:

\Delta \theta = 56\,rad

\Delta \theta \approx 3208.564^{\circ}

Explanation:

El ángulo barrido en el intervalo de tiempo dado es (The covered angle in the given time interval is):

\Delta \theta = \omega \cdot \Delta t

\Delta \theta = \left(14\,\frac{rad}{s} \rjght)\cdot (4\,s)

\Delta \theta = 56\,rad

\Delta \theta \approx 3208.564^{\circ}
