A magnetic compass is placed near an insulated copper wire. When the wire is connected to a battery and a current is created, th

e compass needle moves and changes its position. Which is the best explanation for the production of a force that causes the needle to move?
Physics

6 0

Explanation:

When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus,  creating a force.

While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.

Considering the Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of the Coulomb force is 3.1865 N.

<h3>Coulomb's Law</h3>

Charged bodies experience a force of attraction or repulsion on approach.

From Coulomb's Law it is possible to predict what the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two particles will be according to their electric charge and the distance between them.

From Coulomb's Law, the electric force with which two point charges at rest attract or repel each other is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

F=k\frac{Qq}{d^{2} }

where:

  • F is the electrical force of attraction or repulsion. It is measured in Newtons (N).
  • Q and q are the values ​​of the two point charges. They are measured in Coulombs (C).
  • d is the value of the distance that separates them. It is measured in meters (m).
  • K is a constant of proportionality called the Coulomb's law constant. It depends on the medium in which the charges are located. Specifically for vacuum k is approximately 9×10⁹ \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }.

The force is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and repulsive if they are of the same sign.

<h3>This case</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • The two uncharged sphere are separated by the distance of d= 3.50 m
  • The number of electrons are 1.30×10¹².
  • Electrons is elementary charge and charges on both the sphere is same. The value of electron is 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C. This is, Q=q=1.30×10¹²×1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C= 2.0826×10⁻⁷ C

Replacing in Coulomb's Law:

F=9x10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }\frac{(2.0826x10^{-7} C)x(2.0826x10^{-7} C)}{(3.50 m)^{2} }

Solving:

<u><em>F= 3.1865 N</em></u>

Finally, the magnitude of the Coulomb force is 3.1865 N.

A cat weighing 7 kg chases a mouse at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the cat?
jeka57 [31]
54J
You calculate kinetic energy by the equation.
KE= 1/2mv^2
m= mass
v= velocity
then we have
KE = 1/2 x 3 x 6^2
KE = 1/2 x 3 x 36 = 54J

What gravitational force does the moon produce
saul85 [17]

Answer:

1.94\cdot 10^{20} N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

The gravitational force is always attractive.

In this problem, we have:

m_1 = 5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

m_2 = 7.34\cdot 10^{22} kg is the mass of the Moon

r=3.88\cdot 10^8 m is the separation between the Earth and the Moon

Therefore, the gravitational force between them is

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(7.34\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.88\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.94\cdot 10^{20} N

A positive point charge Q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q is release
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)
