Answer:
(a)0.0002778
(b)
Explanation:
(a) The minute hand has a period of 60 minutes ( or 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be
1 / 3600 = 0.0002778
(b) The hour hand has a period of 24 hours ( or 24*60 * 60 = 86400
seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be
Answer and Explanation:
This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.
The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:
This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:
This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.
