Answer:

When the elctromagnet is ON, it picks up the iron pieces from the other scrap (copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, rubber, plastic, glass etc. that is non-magnetic. Then the crane moves to the designated spot where the iron is to be dumped. Then the electromagnet is OFF and the pieces drop - that is the beauty of soft magnetic materials like iron and electromagnetism. When the current is switched off the magnetism disappears and gravity takes over….

If we used a permanent magnet, the iron pieces would be picked up, but they would be stuck to the powerful magnet and removing them would be a tough task.

A small lead ball, attached to a 1.75-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

h = 57.6 m

Explanation:

First, we find the linear speed of the ball while in circular motion:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed of ball = ?

r = radius of circle = length of rope = 1.75 m

ω = angular speed = (3 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 18.84 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (1.75 m)(18.84 rad/s)

v = 32.98 m/s

Now, we apply the 3rd equation of motion on the ball, when it breaks:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height covered = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, the ball finally stops at highest point for a moment)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 32.98 m/s

Therefore,

2(- 9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (32.98 m/s)²

h = ( - 1088.12 m²/s²)/( - 19.6 m/s²)

h = 55.5 m

since, the ball was initially at a height of 2.1 m from ground. So, the total height from ground, will now become:

h = 55.5 m + 2.1 m

By what factor is the self-inductance of an air solenoid changed if its length and number of coil turns are both tripled

fredd [130]

Answer:

The new self inductance is 3 times of the initial self inductance.

Explanation:

The self inductance of a solenoid is given by :

$L=\dfrac{\mu_oN^2 A}{L}$

Where

N is number of turns per unit length

A is area of cross section

l is length of solenoid

If length and number of coil turns are both tripled,

l' = 3l and N' = 3N

New self inductance is given by :

$L'=\dfrac{\mu_oN'^2 A}{L'}\\\\=\dfrac{\mu_o(3N)^2 A}{3L}\\\\=3\dfrac{\mu_oN^2 A}{L}\\\\=3L$

So, the new self inductance is 3 times of the initial self inductance.
