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

lawyer [7]3 years ago
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.

If a current of 2. 4 a is flowing in a wire of diameter 2. 0 mm, what is the average current density?
HACTEHA [7]

The average current density is 7.6 × 10⁵ A/m².

To calculate the current density current will be 2.4 A.

Diameter of a wire = 2mm.

The cross-sectional area of the wire is given by r = d/2

where r is the radius of the wire.  

Then, the cross-sectional area is = 0.00000314159265

                                                                   = 3.1 × 10⁻⁶ m².

<h3>What is average current density?</h3>

         Consider a current carrying conductor, the current density depends upon  the current flow in the conductor. If the current flow in the conductor will be high then the current density will also be high. Using the average current flowing through the conductor, the average current density will be found.

Average current density j = I / A Ampere/ meter².

By substituting the values in the formula,

             j = 2.4 / ( 3.1 × 10⁻⁶)

               = 7.6 × 10⁵ A/m².

Hence, the current density can be calculated.

B) Write the name of the devices<br>which are shown in the given<br>figures and write their uses​
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

transparent Prism

Explanation:

The device shown is a prism. It is used to study the refraction of light according with its wavelength as it transverses from a medium (air for example) to another (either glass, fluorite, plastic), and vice versa.

For that reason is also used to separate white light into its spectral wavelength components.

A school bus drives north and then east through the city as it takes students to school. The bus crosses a city block every 10 s
Alona [7]

Answer:

The bus is moving at a constant speed.

Explanation:

We have the following facts from the question;

- The bus crosses a city block every 10 seconds.

- all the city blocks are the same length

Since all the city block are the same length, let's say the distance is d.

Since it crosses the city block every 10 seconds, we know that;

Speed = distance/time

Thus, Speed = d/10

Thus,it is moving at this speed of d/10 all through.

Therefore we can conclude that the bus is moving at a constant speed.

If the mass of the block is too large and the block is too close to the left end of the bar (near string B) then the horizontal
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

xcritical = d− m1 /m2 ( L /2−d)

Explanation: the precursor to this question will had been this

the precursor to the question can be found online.

ff the mass of the block is too large and the block is too close to the left end of the bar (near string B) then the horizontal bar may become unstable (i.e., the bar may no longer remain horizontal). What is the smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)

. from the principle of moments which states that sum of clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments. aslo sum of upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces

smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)

∑τA = 0 = m2g(d− xcritical)− m1g( −d)

xcritical = d− m1 /m2 ( L /2−d)
