Answer:

The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

A long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x= - 2.0 cm . A second, parallel wir

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b. 11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm$

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm$

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm

The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 2.2 105 Pa. Each tire has an area of 0.023 m2 in contact wit

Stels [109]

Answer:

Force, F = 20240 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the four tires of an automobile, $P=2.2\times 10^5\ Pa$

Area of each tire, $A=0.023\ m^2$

Area of 4 tires, $A=0.092\ m^2$

We know that the pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force per unit area. Its formula is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$F=P\times A$

$F=2.2\times 10^5\times 0.092$

F = 20240 N

So, the weight of the automobile is 20240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Wind tends to move from pressure areas. low, high high, high low, low high, low

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

high, low

Explanation:

Energy always flows from a higher level to a lower level.
It is analogous to the waterfall where waterfalls from a higher level to a lower level.
So in the case of the pressure of the gas, when there are any numbers of molecules in a given volume of space. The gas is said to be at high pressure.
When there are fewer molecules in the given volume. The gas is said to be at lower pressure.
Due to a large number of atoms, the high-pressure gas exerts more force on the container than the force exerted by the low-pressure gas.
If a hose is connected between these two containers, gas rushes from high pressure to the low pressure. Since the force exerted by the high-pressure gas is greater than that of low-pressure gas.

So, the wind tends to move from high-pressure areas to low pressure.
