How might the ability of magnets to attract certain metals relate to the crane?

Physics
1 answer:
stepan [7]2 years ago
7 0

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.

How does the magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles change when they are brought to half their or
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

5. Quadruple

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

If the distance between the charges is reduced to half,

r' = \frac{r}{2}

So the new force will be

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=4F

So, the force will quadruple.

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).
